Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease（MASLD） is characterized by excessive accumulation of lipids in hepatocytes and is closely associated with the rapid rise in insulin resistance, ...

Fatty acids serve as key energy substrates and signalling molecules in human physiology. Their cellular uptake is mediated by a combination of passive diffusion of micellar complexes and ...

Glutamate transporters pump glutamate from the synaptic cleft back into brain cells after its release during neurotransmission. A new study by Weill Cornell Medicine investigators has found that free ...

Solute carrier (SLC) family transporters are crucial transmembrane proteins responsible for transporting various molecules, including amino acids, electrolytes, fatty acids, and nucleotides. To date, ...

EtfD serves as a wire that connects fatty acid metabolism to the electron transport chain by transferring electrons from one process to the other. Alt text: “A structural illustration of the EtfD ...

Scientists have identified the transporter protein that allows essential fats in the bloodstream to enter the skin, reshaping understanding of how the skin maintains its protective barrier. Duke-NUS ...

Scientists at UC Irvine have found a way to potentially reverse age-related vision loss by targeting the ELOVL2 “aging gene” and restoring vital fatty acids in the retina. Their experiments in mice ...

Bats are the only mammals that can actively fly, enabling many species to perform seasonal migrations. In migratory birds, ...
