Fatty acid biosynthesis is an energy-intensive biosynthetic pathway, and the production of the building blocks for membrane phospholipids is precisely regulated to match the rate of cell division.

This study highlights the relationship between polyunsaturated fatty acids and cancer risk, suggesting blood biomarkers may be key for accurate assessment.

Scientists have long wondered how the first cell membranes formed from the primordial soup—a new study offers up a recipe.

All known life forms are made up of cells enclosed by lipid membranes that separate and protect the cell’s contents. The ...

Few questions have captivated humankind more than the origin of life on Earth. How did the first living cells come to exist? How did these early protocells develop the structural membranes necessary ...

The global burden of digestive tract tumors is profound, with these cancers accounting for nearly half of all malignant tumors worldwide. Despite ...

This development may be a bit more surprising, though: According to an October 2024 study in the International Journal of ...

The significance of this discovery lies in its potential to bridge the gap between simple molecular structures and the ...
