These proteins are involved in the transport and ... In diatoms, a type of microalgae, ACBPs have been shown to be essential for lipid droplet degradation during stress recovery.

"Driven by a keen interest in lipid droplet functions in aging and disease ... at lipid droplets in the brains of mice with excess tau protein. They used a state-of-the-art SRS imaging platform ...

Department of Nephrology, The Second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University, 139 Renmin Middle Road, Changsha 410011, Hunan, China Hunan Key Laboratory of Kidney Disease and Blood Purification, ...

We show that Wag31 predominantly interacts with several membrane-associated proteins involved in lipid metabolism, cell wall synthesis and division. Native levels of Wag31 are critical for the ...

This is because lipoproteins, particularly lipophorin and the yolk protein vitellogenin (Vg ... Silencing triglyceride lipase or lipid storage droplet of the mosquitoes significantly disrupts ...

Department of Chemical Engineering, Northeastern University, Boston, Massachusetts 02115, United States ...

has now used new in vitro and cell culture models to show that a lipid anchor on the outer membrane of nerve cells inhibits the aggregation of the prion protein. "Understanding the mechanisms that ...

Globally, breast cancer represents the most common cancer and the primary cause of death by cancer in women. Lipids are crucial in human physiology, serving as vital energy reserves, structural ...

Analysis of the protein "signatures" in a droplet of blood can predict 67 diseases, including blood cancers, degenerative nerve diseases, lung disease and heart failure, researchers reported ...

In this important study, the authors investigate the role of mycobacterial Wag31 in lipid and peptidoglycan biosynthesis. A detailed analysis of Wag31 domain architecture revealed a role in membrane ...

Researchers at Ruhr University Bochum discovered that a lipid anchor on nerve cell membranes stabilizes prion protein folding, preventing harmful aggregation linked to prion diseases. Their in vitro ...
