Steroids are able to change the structure of the brain and affect a person's mood, according to a new study. Dutch researchers conducted the study by examining the brains of nearly 25,000 steroid ...

The lipids self-assemble into an intricate and complex 3D cubic structure, with water channels and lipid bridges running throughout the entire particle that can be used to package small molecule ...

Certain types of lipids resist being crowded, while others can get shoved in as tight as sardines. And the packing density is ...

• Rendering of the X-ray crystal structure of the 700-million-year-old ancestral steroid receptor (blue), bound to DNA, gray. Starting from this protein (and eight of its descendants), the ...

By discovering the new mechanism by which estrogen suppresses lipid synthesis in the liver, UC Irvine endocrinologists have revealed a potential new approach toward treating certain liver diseases.

Scientists have developed a method for analysing the structure of lipid nanoparticles that could be used to improve vaccine and drug delivery, targeting a wide range of health issues.

Estrogen Reduces Lipid Content in the Liver Exclusively from Membrane Receptor Signaling. Science Signaling, 2013; 6 (276): ra36 DOI: 10.1126/scisignal.2004013 ...
