Lipid species offer insights into metabolic health
Two new research studies suggest that lipids identified and studied at the individual species level—instead of grouped in classes—may be better signatures of metabolic health than conventional tests.
Cracking the code of coenzyme Q biosynthesis
Coenzyme Q is a vital cog in the body’s energy-producing machinery, a kind of chemical gateway in the conversion of food into cellular fuel. But six decades removed from its discovery, scientists still can’t describe exactly how and when it is made.
