Plant lipid transfer proteins (nsLTPs) constitute a diverse family of small, basic proteins integral to plant survival and adaptation. Predominantly found across terrestrial species, nsLTPs facilitate ...

Plants are a rich and renewable source of compounds used in medicines, food ingredients, and cosmetics. Since growing an ...

Researchers in Bochum have discovered a control mechanism that may also operate beyond plants. Proteins carrying a "tail anchor" must be inserted into the ER membrane before they can fulfill their ...

New technique to image single lipids: Lipids are notoriously difficult to detect with light microscopy. Using a new chemical labeling strategy, the Dresden team has overcome this limitation, enabling ...
