Study in mice shows how a host-elicited factor benefits gut immunological homeostasis by selectively targeting commensal ceramide molecules.

The human gut is home to trillions of microbes that not only aid in digestion, but also play a key role in shaping our immune ...

Lipids are the fatty molecules that make up cellular membranes, creating a protective barrier that regulates what enters and ...

Antimicrobials that attack bacterial membranes are an attractive target due to the relatively conserved structure compositions of the bacterial membrane, which bacteria cannot easily change without ...

The venue was used as a stand in for a room in Westminster in London, to film part of the graphic video for a song by Dublin rapper Eskimo Supreme called 'Spit in It'. Grand Secretary of the ...

Although the plasma membrane was originally thought to solely represent a passive diffusion barrier separating the intracellular and extracellular spaces, a growing body of evidence supports the ...

But dispersive agents destabilize many membrane proteins, and in all membrane proteins, they remove weakly associated lipids, cofactors, and proteins essential to normal biological function. The ...

Cells and their organelles are surrounded by lipid membranes that act as ‘gatekeepers’ by controlling the exchange of cellular components and materials. Most membrane lipids are synthesized in ...

See Methods for additional details of the simulation and analysis. Figure S2. Distribution of lipid phosphor atoms under different membrane voltages. The distributions were derived from the last 500 ...

CD36 was known to play a role in lipid transport and metabolism ... "For decades, it was thought that molecules this large couldn't cross membranes effectively, since the endocytic cellular ...
