Since lipids are hydrophobic, they are better soluble in organic solvents than in water. Because the lipids are buried into protein particles simple shaking of the aqueous protein solution with an ...

Scientists uncover how disrupted lipid metabolism fuels chronic inflammation in colorectal cancer, offering insights into new therapeutic strategies targeting pro-inflammatory and pro-resolving lipid ...

Stomach acid helps protease enzymes to destroy harmful microorganisms that may be present in the food. Fats and oils, or lipids, provide insulation and an energy store for our bodies. Helped by ...

made the same lipid sterol, called ergosterol, as fungi proven susceptible to azoles antifungals. These azoles antifungals target a crucial enzyme for sterol biosynthesis, called CYP51.

This paper presents the important discovery that lipid metabolic imbalance caused by Snail, an EMT-related transcription factor, contributes to the acquisition of chemoresistance in cancer cells.
