EPFL scientists have identified a molecular pathway that protects cells from lipid oxidation and ferroptosis, a regulated ...

Lipid oxidation is a fundamental chemical process affecting both food quality and human health. This phenomenon, which involves the degradation of unsaturated fatty acids through radical chain ...

Overweight and obesity pose significant health risks, including an increased likelihood of developing diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and cancer. Researchers are seeking practical ways to promote ...

Tesamorelin is a synthetic 44–amino acid analog of growth hormone–releasing hormone (GHRH) that has attracted attention outside the experimental domain for its potential as a research tool. This ...

The ways in which cells function are strongly dependent on cell membranes which enclose cellular compartments and separate the interiors of cells from the extracellular domain. Oxidative stress harms ...

The raw material for de novo fatty acid synthesis is acetyl-CoA, which can be obtained via the citrate shuttle pathway or from acetic acid. ACC and FASN catalyze the conversion of acetyl-CoA into ...

Age-related body odor is a natural result of skin lipid oxidation and slower cell renewal, not inadequate hygiene. Combining ...

Cancer is the second leading cause of death worldwide, and the incidence of cancer is increasing every year. Lipids, ...

Lipids are fatty compounds that perform a range of essential functions in the body. Phospholipids, steroids, and triglycerides are examples of lipids. Although lipids play an essential role in the ...
