Understanding the functions of lipids and cell membranes is key to progress in basic cell and tissue biology as well as in the many diseases that are caused by lipid dysfunction. Finally, new methodology is paving the way towards breakthroughs.
The time is ripe to understand what lipids do in our cells and bodies. The Lipid Research Center is ready to meet this challenge. And its new website was just launched at www.mlrc.de - check it out!
The Max-Planck-Gesellschaft started the Lipid Research Center in 2011. It is a network of leading experts from the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Biology and Genetics, Dresden/Germany and the National Centre for Biological Science, Bangalore/India.
