The Li lab’s recent publication combines informatic, computational, and biochemical studies to elucidate the protective effect of gut microbial lipids against inflammatory bowel disease. Researchers ...

Researchers found that triple-negative breast cancer cells are “addicted” to lipids, a feature tied to obesity. By studying mice, they discovered that high lipid levels alone accelerate tumor growth.

In collaboration with the University of Vienna, the Technical University of Munich (TUM), and Heidelberg University, researchers at the TUD Dresden University of Technology have developed an ...
