Lipidomics refers to the study of cellular lipidomes, meaning the network of lipid constituents that maintain cellular and bodily health.

Major funding boost for research on neurodegenerative diseases

Brain Canada and the Canadian Institutes of Health Research congratulate Dr. Meaghan O'Reilly from Sunnybrook Research Institute and the University of Toronto as well as Dr. Liang Li based out of University of Alberta whose projects have been recommended for funding as part the 2022 European Union Joint Programme on Neurodegenerative Disease Research (JPND)'s initiative to find causes, develop cures and identify better ways to care for people with Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Huntington's and other neurodegenerative diseases more rapidly.

Research project obtains nearly seven million to study factors that affect human immune system in early life

The first few months and years of life are crucial to the development of the human immune system. This is an important phase as the immune system can define which diseases individuals might develop later in life.

Scientists reveal anti-inflammatory molecules that play an important role in aging

Aging involves complicated plot twists and a large cast of characters: inflammation, stress, metabolism changes, and many others. Now, a team of Salk Institute and UC San Diego scientists reveal another factor implicated in the aging process-;a class of lipids called SGDGs (3-sulfogalactosyl diacylglycerols) that decline in the brain with age and may have anti-inflammatory effects.

In utero exposure to flame retardant results in altered brain development in newborn rats

A new study from North Carolina State University shows that exposure in utero to the flame retardant FireMaster 550 (FM 550), or to its individual brominated (BFR) or organophosphate ester (OPFR) components, resulted in altered brain development in newborn rats.

Singapore researchers identify protein that transports degraded membrane lipids out of lysosomes

Researchers at Duke-NUS Medical School and colleagues in Singapore have identified a protein that transports degraded membrane lipids out of lysosomes, cellular organelles that are the breakdown factories of cells.

Lipids in breastmilk may protect against metabolic disease later in life

A new study examines the lipid content in breastmilk and its association with NCDs later in life.

Researchers reveal the mechanism of action of century-old BCG vaccine

The century-old Bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccine against tuberculosis is one of the world's oldest and most widely used vaccines, used to immunize 100 million newborns every year. Given in countries with endemic TB, it has surprisingly been found to protect newborns and young infants against multiple bacterial and viral infections unrelated to TB. There's even some evidence that it can reduce severity of COVID-19.

Lipidomic profiling may provide early prediction of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease risk

Simultaneous measurement of dozens of types of fats in the blood ("lipidomics") can predict the risk of developing type 2 diabetes (T2D) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) years in the future, according to a new study publishing March 3rd in the open-access journal PLOS Biology from Chris Lauber of Lipotype, Germany, and colleagues.

Surfactant-containing oral mouthwashes target the lipid envelope of SARS-CoV-2

Researchers demonstrated the composition and importance of SARS-CoV-2 lipid envelope and assessed the antiviral potential of oral mouthwashes targeting these lipid envelopes.

Computational tools reveal how blood enzyme works at the atomic level

Membrane-associated proteins play a vital role in a variety of cellular processes, yet little is known about the membrane-association mechanism.

Lipids, COVID-19, and host immunity

A new study from a team of researchers at the University of Pennsylvania examines the role played by lipids in this disease.

Specific and sensitive biomarker in the blood predicts symptomatic COVID-19 infection

Researchers remain perplexed as to why some patients infected with SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for COVID-19, remain asymptomatic while other patients develop severe disease symptoms.

22 blood plasma lipids found to be associated with lower symptom improvement in schizophrenia

Researchers from Skoltech and the Mental Health Research Center have found 22 lipids in the blood plasma of people with schizophrenia that were associated with lower symptom improvement over time during treatment.

Researchers identify a novel link between aging, metabolism and anti-cancer T-cell function

MUSC Hollings Cancer Center researchers are finding solutions to the aging-related changes that reduce anti-cancer immunity. Besim Ogretmen, Ph.D., and colleagues found a novel link between aging, metabolism and anti-cancer T-cell function. Their work, published in Cell Reports, sheds light on an important pathway that cannot be ignored during cancer treatment.
