A newly identified cartilage cell generates fat vacuoles and makes the surrounding tissues pliable. This helps keep the ear ...

Prof. Rajagopal Subramanyam, Department of Plant Sciences, School of Life Sciences, University of Hyderabad, has been elected as a Fellow of the Indian Academy of Sciences (IAS)-2025.

The Structural and Functional Diversity of Peptides Studies suggest that peptides may exhibit remarkable diversity in structure and function, which arises from variations in amino acid composition, ...

From combating cancer and infections to storing energy, lipid-protein interactions are critical to biological processes in ...

The study found that the structure of the globules, rather than their chemical composition, was key in shaping these interactions. Consequently, small milk fat globules promoted the growth of Bacillus ...

Structures of ApoB100 show LDL receptor contact points ...

Lipids are hydrophobic or amphiphilic small molecules that include sterols, waxes, fatty acids and phospholipids, and are insoluble in water and soluble in organic solvent. Biological lipids are ...

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.

In fact, their uniquely adapted lipid structures—called plasmalogens—are also present in the human brain. Declining plasmalogen is often associated with neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s, ...

Bach, Nyman and the rest of the research team made several new tetraperoxo titanate structures -- a titanium atom coordinated with four peroxide groups -- that showed varying abilities to scrub ...
