A key finding of the study was that, when mitochondria did not function properly, enterocytes showed impaired packaging and transport of lipids in the form of chylomicrons. Chylomicrons are crucial ...

A team at Helmholtz Munich and the Technical University of Munich (TUM) has developed a new microscopy technique that can ...

Researchers discover a new mechanism controlling the uptake of lipids from digested food. The maintenance of a balanced lipid homeostasis is critical for our health. While consumption of excessive ...

A new imaging technique reveals lipids in cellular membranes and shows how they are organized at the nanoscale.

Discover how a new microscopy technique can distinguish and map lipid species—such as cholesterol and sphingomyelin—without ...

Scarb2 deficiency is associated with alterations in gut microbiota composition and increased intestinal FXR signaling, leading to impairments in lipid absorption and the renewal of the intestinal ...

A new imaging approach is shedding light on one of cell biology’s most elusive questions: how lipids are organized and sorted within membranes.

Even though hyperlipidemia heightens vulnerability to MIs and strokes, clinicians are not doing a very good job controlling the condition. Less than half of all patients who qualify for lipid-lowering ...

Penn Engineers have redesigned a key component of lipid nanoparticles (LNPs), the delivery vehicles behind mRNA vaccines, to ...

Pictures show small intestinal villi from wild type (top) and enterocyte-specific DARS2 knockout mice (bottom) stained for PLIN2 (yellow), TGN38 (red), E-cadherin (green) and DNA (DAPI, blue). The ...
