In 2005, an extraordinary discovery forever altered the way scientists approach the fossil record. Fossils of dinosaur bones ...

Prof. Shan Tizhong's team at Zhejiang University discovered that lard derived from subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT), as a ...

In addition, lipids act as signaling molecules and as components of cell membranes. Metabolism—the breakdown of biomolecules ...

He is also working on theoretical calculations to understand how the thermodynamic properties of lipids may influence the distribution and diagenesis of these biomolecules in the geologic record.

Caption The researchers used advanced fluorescence microscopy to view lipid droplets in fruit fly embryos. Here, H2Av (fluoresced in green) is present in the cell's nuclei (the large blobs) and on ...

For example, nanoparticles can serve as probes, sensors or vehicles for biomolecule delivery in cellular ... with broad solvent dispersibility. Lipid nanoparticles formulated with ionizable ...
