In a paper to be published in the June 2 issue of the Journal of Biological Chemistry, researchers at Washington University in St. Louis provide the first report of an enzyme that breaks down ...

As a field, lipidomics is in its infancy, yet it has already begun to influence lipid biochemistry in myriad ways. As with other omic technologies, the field is driven by advances in analytical ...

Lipoprotein(a) as well as two oxidized phospholipids (OxPLs) are all associated with multivessel coronary artery disease detected on angiography and also linked to a higher risk of major adverse ...

Current views on membrane construction are presented as a basis for discussing certain modifications of structure that may render membranes leaky, allowing solutes to diffuse from them. Biophysical ...

In a recent study, researchers determined that derivatives of natural emulsifiers such as phospholipids found in high-fat, high-cholesterol diets can promote atherosclerosis via gut bacteria ...

Researchers have uncovered that phospholipids with two polyunsaturated fatty acyl tails play a crucial role in driving ferroptosis. Ferroptosis is a form of cell death that is dependent on iron.

Scientists at the University Bath in the UK have discovered a series of protein structures that are thought to be highly relevant to the onset of Parkinson's disease. It is hoped that further analysis ...

Alzheimer's disease patients lose up to 60% of a component called plasmalogen from the membranes of the cells in their brains, but it's still not known how or why. In a paper to be published in the ...
