Kazumitsu Ueda, PhD from Kyoto University, WPI-iCeMS, unveils the mystery of cholesterol homeostasis in this cell biology ...

Altogether, lipids account for about half the mass of cell membranes. Cholesterol molecules ... Scientists who model membrane structure and dynamics describe the membrane as a fluid mosaic ...

Like a mosaic, the cell membrane is a complex structure made up of many different parts, such as proteins, phospholipids, and cholesterol. The relative amounts of these components vary from ...

Following digestion and absorption of dietary fat, TG and cholesterol are packaged to form chylomicrons in the epithelial cells of the intestines. Chylomicrons circulate through the intestinal ...

"But having both a bilayer-forming lipid, which provides the basic structure for the cell membrane, and a non-bilayer-forming lipid, such as cholesterol, which adds stability, seems to be a ...

Malaria, caused by a parasite transmitted to humans through an infected mosquito's bite, is a leading cause of illness and ...

Axons in brain cells resemble a string of pearls rather than smooth tubes, according to Johns Hopkins researchers. This discovery, aided by advanced imaging and modeling, reveals how physical and ...
