Cholesterol is one of the key molecules found in biomembranes, complex structures composed of proteins and lipids. It plays a crucial role in organizing the membrane and influencing the behavior of ...

Scientists have uncovered new details about how cells manage the distribution of lipids in their cell membrane. These lipids, known as phospholipids, are arranged in a bilayer of membranes, regulating ...

Steven McKnight and Dirk Görlich received the Albert Lasker Basic Medical Research Award for their work on the role of ...

Jackson Ryan was CNET's science editor, and a multiple award-winning one at that. Earlier, he'd been a scientist, but he realized he wasn't very happy sitting at a lab bench all day. Science writing, ...

Researchers have described a large set of previously unrecognized enzymatic domains—named the Lipocone superfamily—and outlined their evolutionary pathway from bacterial defense molecules to key ...

The molecule Wnt, which plays a role in cell communication during human development, evolved from a superfamily with a shared lipid-modifying mechanism originally involved in bacterial defence and ...
