Bridge-like lipid transfer proteins (BLTPs) are established to function in phospholipid transport between bilayers at organelle–organelle contact s...

Lange et al. identify a lipid droplet quality control pathway in which FSP1 safeguards stored neutral lipids from lipid peroxidation, thereby preventing the induction of ferroptosis.

This Special Issue in _ACS Chemical Biology_ will highlight the latest advancements and perspectives in the chemical biology of lipids and lipidation. Submit your manuscript by May 31, 2026.

Perturbations in lysosome integrity are tightly linked to neurological disorders and ageing, but the underlying pathogenic mechanisms are incompletely understood. Using an unbiased proteomic approach,...

The cell membrane facilitates interactions with the environment and serves as an organizational platform for coordinating cellular processes, with lipids playing a central role in determining membrane...

Sphingomyelin (SM) is a major component of mammalian cell membranes and particularly abundant in the myelin sheath that surrounds nerve fibers. Its production is catalyzed by SM synthases SMS1 and SMS...

The rapid evolution of SARS-CoV-2 has led to the emergence of numerous variants with en-hanced transmissibility and immune evasion. Despite widespread vaccination, infections persist, and the mechanis...

Wrynla et al. assess humoral immunity elicited by the monovalent XBB.1.5 COVID-19 vaccine in participants who did or did not previously receive the bivalent Wuhan-Hu-1/BA.4-5 vaccine. They find that i...

Based on observations that HIV-1 envelope (Env) proteins on the surfaces of cells have the capacity to fuse with neighboring cells or enveloped viruses that express CD4 receptors and CXCR4 co-receptor...
