RECENTLY, Collins has described the presence of ‘complex’ phospholipids in animal tissues 1,2. These compounds are shown to be very sensitive towards silicic acid and other mild hydrolytic reagents.

Though the cell membrane is a protective barrier, it also plays a role in letting some foreign material in -- via ion channels that dot the cell's surface. Now new research from the Nobel ...

Lipoprotein(a) as well as two oxidized phospholipids (OxPLs) are all associated with multivessel coronary artery disease detected on angiography and also linked to a higher risk of major adverse ...

Phospholipids are used in many types of formulations such as fat emulsions, mixed micelles, suspensions, and liposomal preparations for any administration route (1-3). Phospholipids are surface-active ...

Adipose tissue macrophages (ATMs) adapt their metabolic phenotype either to maintain lean tissue homeostasis or drive inflammation and insulin resistance in obesity. However, the factors in the ...

New progress in a long-standing debate about the nature of biological cell membranes could be made by considering which aspects of the membrane can be captured in simplified simulations. ABC ...

COLLINS has given evidence for the presence of ‘complex’ phospholipids in animal tissues, and he suggested that they contained a phosphate triester group. He further suggested that they break down on ...
