In an effort intended to accelerate research into lipids, a research group led by scientists from the RIKEN Center for Integrative Medical Sciences (IMS), the RIKEN Center for Sustainable Resource Science (CSRS), and the Graduate School of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Keio University, have created a standardized atlas of lipids (lipidome), whose main biological functions include the formation of cell membranes, storage and production of energy, and regulation of cellular signals.
