Lipids are fatty molecules that play critical roles in cell function, including membrane structure, energy storage and nutrient absorption. Most lipids are made in a cell organelle called the ...

When we consume fats (also called lipids) in our diet, they can be metabolized or stored to provide energy for the body. But they are also involved in regulating the genes expressed within—and the ...

Hepatic lipid homeostasis is critical for both cellular function and overall metabolic health. Disruptions in lipid homeostasis can lead to fatty liver diseases, which have become a significant global ...

Obesity and obesity-associated diseases, such as type 2 diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular diseases, have reached pandemic levels worldwide and are major threats to human life. Lipid species within ...

A team from Geneva, Switzerland, shows that the disruption of lipid temporal profiles in type 2 diabetes stiffens the membrane of pancreatic endocrine cells, which could alter their function. Like all ...

A team at Helmholtz Munich and the Technical University of Munich (TUM) has developed a new microscopy technique that can distinguish lipid species in living cells – in particular cholesterol and ...

Like all living beings, human physiological processes are influenced by circadian rhythms. The disruption of our internal clocks due to an increasingly unbalanced lifestyle is directly linked to the ...
