Lipids and phospholipids are almost always in the "R" configuration, but BMP is one of the rare phospholipids that is in the opposite form, called "S." In fact, "handedness" can occur in two ...

By using a cutting-edge technique to take multiple snapshots of the mouse lipidome—all lipid metabolites present in a biological sample—the researchers found that BMP type lipids increased ...

This complexity combined with the chemical characteristics of lipids present many challenges in their trafficking, compartmentalization and specific target engagement properties within and between ...
