Cartilage cells that contain fat explain why some skeletal tissues are less rigid than others, and could one day be grown in labs to produce better materials for performing reconstructive surgeries ...

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

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, ...

This is a useful study that adds new data to how different DAG pools influence cellular signaling, and dissects how the enzyme Dip2 modulates the minor lipid signaling DAG pool, which is distinct from ...

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

Expanding volumes of data point to mechanisms beyond weight loss and blood sugar control that contribute to cardiovascular ...

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 ...
