Mammalian fatty acid synthase is one of the most complex molecular synthetic machines in human cells. It is also a promising target for the development of anti-cancer and anti-obesity drugs and the ...

PPARγ is a nuclear receptor that regulates transcription of target genes in response to binding small lipophilic ligands 1. It has been found to have many diverse roles in biology from serving as a ...

Spectacular images of a molecule that shuttles omega-3 fatty acids into the brain may open a doorway for delivering neurological therapeutics to the brain. We've managed to obtain a three-dimensional ...

Chemists want to trick cancer cells into taking up drug molecules by attaching the payloads to fatty acids. These cells grow rapidly compared to normal cells and they recognize fatty acids as ...

The current pandemic of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is not the first human coronavirus (CoV) infection to affect the world. There have been four other endemic CoVs, ...
