九游体育

Overview

The Lipid Research Division is a division of the 九游体育. The LRD represents lipid research scientists of the society and addresses concerns that include, but are not limited to, national and international visibility, representation at the annual meeting and on scientific advisory panels, and increased funding for lipid research. Additionally, the LRD serves as a platform within the ASBMB to highlight progress in lipid research and to foster communication among lipid researchers and between lipid researchers and the broader ASBMB membership.

We invite all lipid researchers to join the division. ASBMB membership is required.

Activities

  • Provides input to the ASBMB Meetings Committee relating to symposia, themes and sessions at the society's .
  • Provides a calendar of lipid-related meetings, a job board and links to resources for lipid researchers.

  • Works closely with National Institutes of Health scientific review officers to increase representation of lipid researchers on appropriate study sections.
  • Hosts monthly webinars that feature and attract lipid researchers from around the world.
  • Publishes the "Lipid News" column in ASBMB Today and maintains an active presence on and .
  • Collaborates with the European-based Lipid Maps organization to publish "."

Lipid news
Elusive zebrafish enzyme in lipid secretion

Scientists discover that triacylglycerol synthesis enzyme drives lipoproteins secretion rather than lipid droplet storage. Read more about this recent study from the Journal of Biological Chemistry.

Targeting Toxoplasma parasites and their protein accomplices

Researchers identify that a Toxoplasma gondii enzyme drives parasite's survival. Read more about this recent study from the Journal of Lipid Research.

Scavenger protein receptor aids the transport of lipoproteins

Scientists elucidated how two major splice variants of scavenger receptors affect cellular localization in endothelial cells. Read more about this recent study from the Journal of Lipid Research.

Fat cells are a culprit in osteoporosis

Scientists reveal that lipid transfer from bone marrow adipocytes to osteoblasts impairs bone formation by downregulating osteogenic proteins and inducing ferroptosis. Read more about this recent study from the Journal of Lipid Research.
