Unsheathing the role of myelin lipids in Alzheimer’s disease
Xianlin Han, an ASBMB Breakthroughs speaker, discussed his pioneering work on lipidomics and the role of sulfatide lipids in Alzheimer's disease.
Lipid biomarkers hold clues to stroke recovery
Scientists at the University of Arizona found that a lipid mediator accumulates with the waves of inflammation associated with stroke and foamy macrophages.
How opposing metabolic pathways regulate inflammation
Researchers use cybernetics to understand what happens when two acids produced by macrophages compete for binding sites on the enzyme that converts them to active products.
