When cells experience enough chronic stress, they can stop dividing permanently. In this state of cellular limbo, known as ...

Human metabolism is a complex web of chemical processes and interactions between our cells and the microbes living within us. The more scientists can identify and classify the molecules involved in ...

To test whether AT2‑derived lipids are required for metastasis, the researchers selectively deleted Fasn in AT2 cells.

Alain Chariot's team has just published a study in EMBO Molecular Medicine shedding light on the unexpected role of the ...

Study identifies impaired ER-to-golgi ceramide transport as a key regulatory node underlying senescence-associated sphingolipid remodeling.

A new mass spectrometry imaging system achieves 800 nm resolution. The technology enables single-cell analysis of lipid ...

Cancer cells seldom start off stealthy. Quite to the contrary, they announce their presence to the immune system by planting chemical red flags right on their membranes. Once alerted, the body’s ...

Director of the Institute of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at University Hospital Bonn (UKB) and member of the Transdisciplinary Research Area “Life & Health” at the University of Bonn. The ...

KU Leuven Center for Cancer Biology, in collaboration with the Francis Crick Institute, has discovered how cancer cells can exploit healthy lung cells to support metastatic tumor growth in the lungs.

Terahertz (THz) radiation is increasingly explored for biomedical applications, however, its non-thermal effects on cellular metabolism and regulatory networks remain insufficiently characterized.
