(C) The subregions of a glycerophospholipid molecule; phosphatidylcholine is shown as an example. The hydrophilic head is composed of a choline structure (blue) and a phosphate (orange).

Quickly it became apparent that the world of lipids was one of extreme diversity in structure ... thousands of different molecular species were found to be present in tissues and cells.

They found that some lipid structures, based on their nitrogen ... "The computational work is rooted in thermodynamics, and ...

"We found that the A 3 reaction was not only efficient, but also flexible enough to allow for precise control over the lipids' molecular structure," says Mitchell. This flexibility was key to fine ...

Led by Michael J. Mitchell, associate professor in bioengineering, the researchers refined this delivery process by optimizing the structure of ionizable lipids. Moving beyond existing methods limited ...

A crucial molecule for brain health acts as a garbage collector of other fat molecules (lipids), despite also ... of molecules form it into a resistant structure. Their findings also help to ...
