A set of new imaging tools now allows researchers to see how specific fat molecules, called phospholipids, are distributed ...

Biological membranes of cells and their subunits (organelles) are organized into tiny regions (nanodomains) made up of fats ...

Lipids, or fats, are essential to life. They form the membranes around cells, protecting them from the outside. In nature, there is an enormous diversity of lipids, with each organism having its own ...

A new imaging approach is shedding light on one of cell biology’s most elusive questions: how lipids are organized and sorted within membranes.

A new imaging technique reveals lipids in cellular membranes and shows how they are organized at the nanoscale.

International research team presents new imaging technique to make lipids in cellular membranes visible and show how they are ...

International research team presents new imaging technique to make lipids in cellular membranes visible and show how they are organized at the nanoscale. To the point: 3D visualization of lipids with ...

Tsukuba, Japan—Cells contain diverse populations of molecules called lipids, which are organic fatty compounds. Lipid metabolism, the synthesis and breakdown of these lipids, plays key roles in ...

Our ability to feel a harmful touch or sense dangerous heat relies on specialized receptor proteins embedded in nerve cell ...

When cells experience enough chronic stress, they can stop dividing permanently. In this state of cellular limbo, known as ...
