Lipids are a diverse group of hydrophobic or amphipathic biomolecules that serve as structural components of cell membranes, energy stores and signalling mediators. Major classes include fatty acids, ...

Glyn Dawson, an expert on lipid biochemistry and longtime professor in the Departments of Pediatrics and Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the University of Chicago, died April 14 at the age of 83 ...

We know very well that metabolites—small molecules such as lipids, sugars, nucleotides, and amino acids—play a large role in cellular biochemistry. But we are only beginning to understand the many ...

Lipid metabolism encompasses the synthesis, transport and breakdown of fats and cholesterol, processes that extend beyond energy storage to include crucial roles in pulmonary structure and function.

Messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA)-based therapeutics and the potential of mRNA as a treatment for various conditions has been researched for decades. A key challenge remains finding a delivery system ...

Biochemistry is the study of the chemicals and chemistry of living organisms. Biochemists study biomolecules (such as proteins, RNA, DNA, sugars, and lipids), their applications and interactions in ...
