Lipids are fatty molecules that play critical roles in cell function, including membrane structure, energy storage and ...

Scientists have long wanted to get a closer look at the movement of lipids around a cell, but because organelles are so close ...

A research team has unraveled the three-dimensional structure and molecular mechanism of ATP citrate lyase (ACLY). This is a central metabolic enzyme -- a protein that accelerates chemical reactions - ...

New understandings of how lipids function within tears could lead to better drugs for treating dry eye disease. A new approach has given Hokkaido University researchers insight into the synthesis and ...

Researchers in Göttingen, Germany, have elucidated the structure and function of otoferlin, a protein that plays a crucial ...

Scientists have discovered that the internal shape of tiny drug-delivery particles—called lipid nanoparticles—has a big impact on how well our cells absorb them, paving the way to more efficient ...

We're excited to announce an open PhD student position in Robert Vacha's Research Group! Eukaryotic and prokaryotic plasma membranes exhibit inherent asymmetry, with distinct lipid compositions ...

The Biophysical Society is pleased to announce that Sarah Veatch, of the University of Michigan, USA, will receive the 2026 Agnes Pockels Award in Lipids and Membrane Biophysics. Veatch will be ...

Lipid kinases are among the promising targets of new classes of drugs, due mainly to class I PI3Kα, which plays a crucial role in carcinogenesis and metastasis. This enzyme is hyperactive in 30-40% of ...
