What are lipids?
Lipids are hydrocarbon molecules such as fats and oils that form the building blocks of human cell membranes and store energy that is released by a variety of metabolic pathways for use by the body. The extremely diverse nature of lipids means that it is not only challenging to identify and determine species but also to quantify their roles as signaling molecules in physiology and disease, says Makoto Arita, a professor at the Keio University Faculty of Pharmacy. My research is focused on gaining insights into the structure and functions of lipids that govern inflammation and tissue homeostasis.
