Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are structural components of membrane phospholipids,
and influence cellular function via effects on membrane properties, and also by acting as a …

Lipids comprise a large group of chemically heterogeneous compounds. The majority have
fatty acids (FA) as part of their structure, making these compounds suitable tools to examine …

From basic science and fundamental procedures to the latest advanced techniques in
reconstructive, esthetic, and implant therapy, Newman and Carranza's Clinical …

For over a century, the importance of lipid metabolism in biology was recognized but difficult
to mechanistically understand due to the lack of sensitive and robust technologies for …

Controlled immune responses to infection and injury involve complex molecular signalling
networks with coordinated and often opposing actions. Eicosanoids and related bioactive …

Classically, polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) were largely thought to be relatively inert
structural components of brain, largely important for the formation of cellular membranes …

Advances in our understanding of the mechanisms that bring about the resolution of acute
inflammation have uncovered a new genus of pro-resolving lipid mediators that include the …

The brain is highly enriched with fatty acids. These include the polyunsaturated fatty acids
(PUFAs) arachidonic acid and docosahexaenoic acid, which are largely esterified to the …

Specialized pro-resolving mediators (SPMs) are enzymatically derived from essential fatty
acids and have important roles in orchestrating the resolution of tissue inflammation—that is …

Studies into the mechanisms in resolution of self-limited inflammation and acute reperfusion
injury have uncovered a new genus of pro-resolving lipid mediators coined specialized pro …
