Synthetic molecules that target specific lipids serve as powerful tools for understanding membrane biology and may also enable new applications in biotechnology and medicine. For example, selective ...

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 ...

As a field, lipidomics is in its infancy, yet it has already begun to influence lipid biochemistry in myriad ways. As with other omic technologies, the field is driven by advances in analytical ...

< Epoxyisotrienic acids (EETs) are rapidly incorporated into lipids of varying complexity, which could ...

Cancer thrives by hijacking the body's own basic survival systems, making it hard to attack tumors without collateral damage ...

A DNA nanostructure flips lipids from one side of a lipid bilayer to the other more than 1,000 times as fast as natural enzymes called scramblases, researchers report (Nat. Commun. 2018, DOI: ...

Some products of arachidonic acid have already been well studied: the prostanoids formed by cyclooxygenases are central mediators of inflammation ...

Algal biofuel production could double in yield and in far less time, thanks to a chemical trigger discovered at Montana State University. The chemical trigger is a well-timed dose of bicarbonate, a ...

Background: Some environmental chemical exposures are lipophilic and need to be adjusted by serum lipid levels before data analyses. There are currently various strategies that attempt to account for ...
