Researchers discovered that the mitochondrial MIM complex influences lipid droplet accumulation in yeast cells through ...

In Alzheimer’s disease, microglia pack on fat, which impairs phagocytosis. Now, scientists led by Christiane Ruedl of Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, report that blocking lipid buildup in ...

Atherosclerosis represents a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by the accumulation of lipid-laden macrophage foam cells within arterial ...

Lipid droplets accumulate in microglia in mouse and cell models of amyloidosis but scientists are not sure why. Evidence suggests that Aβ helps create the glut, but now scientists led by Lingyan Shi ...

Respiratory supercomplex formation relieves molecular strain of mitochondrial membranes and reshapes global protein motions, linking membrane reorganization to respiratory function.

Researchers have identified a lipid-driven biophysical mechanism that allows tuberculosis-causing mycobacteria to survive inside human immune cells, a discovery that could inform novel ...

“We’ve never had such an in-depth map of the CD1 lipidome available,” said Patricia Barral, an immunologist at King’s College London who was not involved with the work. “It will enable us to start ...
