Columbia researchers have found that a rare type of lipid is a key driver of ferroptosis, a form of cell death discovered by Columbia professor Brent Stockwell.

Fat gets a bad rap even though it is a nutrient we need in our diets. The big concern is making sure we don’t have too much fat. Learn all

Study reveals that both lacto-ovo vegetarian and Mediterranean diets positively impact apolipoprotein levels and cardiovascular disease risk factors, with Mediterranean diet showing a more substantial effect on apolipoprotein levels, particularly in women and older individuals with fewer CVD risk factors.

Study compares cardiovascular risk factors among flexitarians, vegans, and omnivores, finding that plant-based diets may offer significant health benefits.

Genetic testing for APOE would improve the prediction of atherosclerosis and enable the pursuit of aggressive strategies, said one researcher.

Oral intragastric capsules that expand with water in the stomach showed promising results for weight loss in adults with overweight or obesity.

UNC School of Medicine researcher Sarah Cohen, PhD, and Ian Windham, a former PhD student from the Cohen lab, have made a new discovery about apolipoprotein E (APOE) – the biggest genetic risk factor for late-onset Alzheimer's disease.

In recent years there has been a significant interest in the development of innovative lipidomics techniques capable of resolving lipid isomers. To date, methods applied to resolving sn-isomers have resolved only a limited number of species. We report a workflow based on ozone-induced dissociation for untargeted characterisation of hundreds of sn-resolved glycerophospholipid isomers from biological extracts in under 20 min, coupled with an automated data analysis pipeline. It provides an order o...
