MD Anderson studies reveal how cancer cells rewire metabolism to spread. A glucose–fructose mix promotes colorectal metastasis via cholesterol pathways, while fatty-acid oxidation driven by ACBP ...

Mutations in the lipid transporter ABCA7 are known to elevate the risk of Alzheimer’s disease, but how they do so has been murky. Now, scientists led by Li-Huei Tsai at MIT in Cambridge, Massachusetts ...

Certain lipids discovered in the 1800s presented chemists with structural and functional puzzles that proved unsolvable. And so, the chemists called these lipids sphingolipids, likening them to the ...

Variability among lipids affects cellular metabolism, signaling pathways, energy storage, and cell membrane structures. Therefore, it’s important for biomanufacturers to have an accurate, ...

Senescence, a state in which cells neither divide nor die, but simply linger, has been linked to aging and neurodegeneration. What causes such cells to appear in old brains, and how might they wreak ...

Image Caption: Dysregulation of lipid metabolism promotes EMT (by Figdraw). Down-regulation of ELOVL2 promotes EMT in breast cancer by up-regulating expression of SREBP1/2. Genes & Diseases publishes ...

Researchers have made a pivotal discovery in the field of cellular microscopy. The team has successfully developed Two-Color Infrared Photothermal Microscopy (2C-IPM), a novel technology designed to ...

Scientists discovered a novel self-perpetuating cancer mechanism in the lung microenvironment, wherein EGFR-driven lung adenocarcinoma cells exploit lung-resident macrophages -- remodeling them to ...

Improvements in public health have allowed humankind to survive to older ages than ever before, but, for many people, these ...

Vitamin B12 is long understood as a vital nutrient required for red blood cell formation and nerve function, but a new ...
