Studying how our bodies metabolize lipids such as fatty acids, triglycerides, and cholesterol can teach us about cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and other health problems, as well as reveal basic ...

As a field, lipidomics is in its infancy, yet it has already begun to influence lipid biochemistry in myriad ways. As with other omic technologies, the field is driven by advances in analytical ...

Using catalytic chemistry, researchers at Institute of Science Tokyo have achieved dynamic control of artificial membranes, ...

Chemerin is a key adipokine that regulates lipid metabolism and insulin sensitivity, and thus is involved in many metabolic ...

Fred A Kummerow is a 98-year-old emeritus professor of comparative biosciences at the University of Illinois (USA). Kummerow has spent over six decades studying lipid biochemistry trying to explain ...

We know very well that metabolites—small molecules such as lipids, sugars, nucleotides, and amino acids—play a large role in cellular biochemistry. But we are only beginning to understand the many ...

This advanced course in the nutritional biochemistr and physiology of lipids will detail the role of lipids in the normal and pathological processes at both the cellular and whole organism level.

Cortisol, a fundamental glucocorticoid hormone, orchestrates a wide array of physiological processes critical to the stress response. Its secretion—modulated by the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA ...

For centuries arsenic has been synonymous with poison and peril. However, it is also ubiquitous in the Earth’s crust, and runoff from natural deposits and industrial processes has spread it throughout ...

My background is in chemical biology: developing and using chemical tools to help solve intractable problems in biology. I got interested in studying infectious disease after living in Mozambique, ...
