Proteins are digested into peptides for presentation by MHC to T cells. A recent paper in Science reports that some lipids also undergo processing in order to be presented by the unconventional class ...

Sensors that selectively detect glycolipids—molecules that are involved in infection, inflammation, and cancer progression—are hard to make. Most sensors target either the hydrophilic sugar head group ...

Current interest in glycolipid-based drugs started with work by a Japanese beer company. In the early 1990s, chemists at Kirin Brewery isolated a family of glycolipid natural products called ...

A researcher at the IU Indianapolis Fairbanks School of Public Health has identified a set of novel biomarkers that could significantly improve early detection of pancreatic cancer, a disease with a ...
