The issues that complicate the study of lipid function also arise in designing strategies to defend against disease due to their misregulation. The best strategy is often to target their ...

Hence, identification of the factors that regulate adipocyte function is crucial in order to understand metabolic dysfunction. The roles of lipid mediators in adipocyte dysfunction and obesity ...

Lipids include fats (solid at room temperature) and oils (liquid at room temperature). Lipids are an important part of a healthy diet. The body uses lipids as an energy store, as insulation and to ...

Apolipoproteins (apo) such as apoB, apoC and apoE, coat lipoprotein particles and serve a number of functions including the transport of lipids in the blood and recognition of lipoprotein ...

Lipids are the most abundant organic compounds found in the brain and the main component of plasma membranes of nervous cells. In addition to their architectural functions for plasma membranes, lipids ...

More broadly the lab studies the mechanisms how cells regulate the abundance of lipids, how they store lipids to buffer fluctuation in their availability, and how these processes function in membrane ...

They were round and divided well. Despite the drastic reduction in lipid complexity, they continued to function surprisingly well." Arriving at this minimal lipid combination was no easy task. Initial ...
