Heriot-Watt staff and students now have free access to the Journal of Lipid Research (JLR) until 31st December 2015 – including the archive back to 1959.

The JLR focuses on the science of lipids in health and disease; lipid function; the biochemical and genetic regulation of lipid metabolism; and epidemiological research relating to altered lipid metabolism, including modification of dietary lipids.  It aims to provide papers at the forefront of the emerging areas of genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and lipidomics as they relate to lipid metabolism and function.

Highlights from the current issue include: –

All-trans retinoic acid induces oxidative phosphorylation and mitochondria biogenesis in adipocytes
Franck Tourniaire et al

Human monocyte-derived dendritic cells turn into foamy dendritic cells with IL-17A
Giulia Salvatore et al.

Micellar lipid composition affects micelle interaction with class B scavenger receptor extracellular loops
Aurélie Goncalve et al.
