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 ...

Lipid research investigates the structure, function and metabolism of fats, covering their roles in industrial processes, the environment and health. Emerging research areas include nutrient ...

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers have built a synthetic-cell platform that can be chemically adjusted in real time, sidestepping a long-standing ...

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 ...

Mutation burden and microsatellite instability in colorectal cancer in Japan and US. This is an ASCO Meeting Abstract from the 2016 ASCO Annual Meeting I. This abstract does not include a full text ...

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, ...
