Dennis, PhD, distinguished professor of pharmacology, chemistry and biochemistry at the University of California San Diego School of Medicine, said the work culminates more than seven years of effort by scientists in LIPID MAPS, a national consortium of 12 research laboratories at nine \u0022core\u0022 universities, medical research institutes and life sciences companies collaborating to study the structure and function of lipids. The laboratory of Dr. Al Merrill (School of Biology, Georgia Tech) was responsible for the sphingolipid analyses and characterization carried out by the consortium. \n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0027http:\/\/www.biology.gatech.edu\/news\/story.php?id=5286\u0027\u003ERead Full Article\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"For the first time, scientists have described not only the identities and quantities of fat species in a living mammalian cell - in this case, a mouse macrophage or white blood cell - but they also report how these lipids react and change over time to a bacterial stimulus triggering the cell\u2019s immune response.","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Researchers Describe First Functioning \u0022Lipidome\u0022 of Mouse Macrophage"}],"uid":"27349","created_gmt":"2011-01-03 01:00:00","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 03:08:06","author":"Floyd Wood","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","dateline":{"date":"2010-12-21T00:00:00-05:00","iso_date":"2010-12-21T00:00:00-05:00","tz":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"1292","name":"Parker H.
