In addition to providing energy, lipids are also essential building blocks of our cell membranes. However, despite their importance, they remain poorly understood.

A shift in the balance between two lipids – cholesterol and sphingomyelin – makes hybrid epithelial-mesenchymal cancer cells less responsive to certain chemotherapy drugs.

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

To be effective, lipids must be transported from where they are produced to where they are needed. Unlike proteins, they do not like water and therefore cannot move freely in the aqueous environment ...

Therapies that target the utilization of fat by tumors and activate a type of cell death dependent on fat molecules may be a ...
