by King’s College London Credit: CC0 Public Domain When we consume fats (also called lipids) in our diet, they can be metabolized or stored to provide energy for the body. But they are also involved in regulating the genes expressed within—and the signaling between—cells. Lipids influence how our cells behave and function, which affects many...
Researchers at Karolinska Institutet recently published a study in NPJ Biofilms and Microbiomes, that describes the findings of an enzyme that breaks down lipids. In nature, microorganisms including bacteria display different shapes. Escherichia coli, a rod-shaped commensal bacterium of the human gut, can readily alter its shape upon exposure to stress. Upon many occasions, E. coli stalls cell division...
TOKYO MEDICAL AND DENTAL UNIVERSITY VIDEO: SEEING LIPIDS MORE DEEPLY WITH MASS SPECTROMETRY CREDIT: PROFESSOR TAKEHIKO SASAKI, TMDU The development of new scientific ways to see more deeply into the building blocks of nature on a cellular level has led to the some of the greatest advances in medicine over the last century. Now, new...
UNIVERSITY OF SEVILLE An international team of scientists, coordinated by the Seville Institute of Biomedicine (IBiS) and the University of Seville has solved one of the hitherto unresolved enigmas of basic biology: how exactly do lipids distribute proteins within a cell? To do this, they used a new, completely innovative microscopy technology, which they applied...
Researchers have discovered an imbalance in the amounts of fatty molecules called lipids inside the brain cells of people with Parkinson’s disease. A buildup of lipids in nerve cells may cause inflammation. Parkinson’s disease is a movement disorder that gets progressively worse over time. The death of dopamine-producing nerve cells in the substantia nigra region of...
by McLean Hospital Researchers in the Neuroregeneration Institute are making strides in Parkinson’s disease research. In a novel research study conducted by a team from the Neuroregeneration Institute at McLean Hospital, investigators believe they have found key brain cell type changes involving lipids, inflammation, and the development of Parkinson’s disease (PD). Their findings appear in the current issue...
