Lipotoxicity – a pathogenic mechanism of cell and organ damage

June 8, 2023 | EAS AC in Lipidology

Featured Open Lecture: November-December 2024

The role of lipids in cardiovascular disease is well established through epidemiological studies; however, the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms remain largely unknown. Numerous recent studies focus on the deleterious impact of lipids on cardiovascular health.

In this lecture, Prof. Jan Borén presents a state-of-the-art overview of current knowledge in the field. To further deepen understanding of this topic, we recommend the online Advanced Course: Lipidomics, Lipotoxicity, and Organ Damage: Uncovering New Lipid-Dependent Pathophysiological Pathways, Biomarkers, and Therapeutic Targets, available on the EAS Academy.
