Lipids are a diverse group of hydrophobic or amphipathic biomolecules that serve as structural components of cell membranes, energy stores and signalling mediators. Major classes include fatty acids, ...

Glyn Dawson, an expert on lipid biochemistry and longtime professor in the Departments of Pediatrics and Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the University of Chicago, died April 14 at the age of 83 ...

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 ...

For centuries arsenic has been synonymous with poison and peril. However, it is also ubiquitous in the Earth’s crust, and runoff from natural deposits and industrial processes has spread it throughout ...

Biochemistry is the study of the structure and function of biological molecules such as proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates and lipids. Biochemistry is also used to describe techniques suited to ...

The Li lab’s recent publication combines informatic, computational, and biochemical studies to elucidate the protective effect of gut microbial lipids against inflammatory bowel disease. Researchers ...

In collaboration with the University of Vienna, the Technical University of Munich (TUM), and Heidelberg University, researchers at the TUD Dresden University of Technology have developed an ...

Larry Marnett, a pioneer of the bioactive lipid research field and a University Distinguished Professor of Biochemistry and Chemistry at the School of ...

We know very well that metabolites—small molecules such as lipids, sugars, nucleotides, and amino acids—play a large role in cellular biochemistry. But we are only beginning to understand the many ...

A new review details how liposomes, cubosomes, and solid lipid nanoparticles are overcoming the eye's formidable barriers to ...

Biochemistry is the study of the chemicals and chemistry of living organisms. Biochemists study biomolecules (such as proteins, RNA, DNA, sugars, and lipids), their applications and interactions in ...

A 12-week trial in healthy male mice found that a 10% black soldier fly larval-meal diet reduced liver lipid-droplet area and TNF-α expression despite greater weight gain.
