New technique to image single lipids: Lipids are notoriously difficult to detect with light microscopy. Using a new chemical labeling strategy, the Dresden team has overcome this limitation, enabling ...

Lipid molecules form the membranes that organize cellular biochemistry in all domains of life. Imaging approaches have been developed to visualize different types of lipid at subcellular scales and ...

When human cells lack oxygen, they must react. Without oxygen, the metabolism can hardly generate energy, and many vital processes begin to falter. A research team from Bielefeld University, together ...

An unprecedented international effort to decode how cells manage the transport of chemical substances has culminated in four studies published in Molecular Systems Biology. Led by Giulio Superti-Furga ...

Copper is an essential micronutrient that serves as a cofactor for numerous enzymes, playing a vital role in processes ranging from cellular respiration to antioxidant defence. Eukaryotic cells employ ...
