Introducing the Neurolipid Atlas: a new resource for brain lipid research and neurodegenerative diseases published in Nature Metabolism

Altered lipid metabolism in the brain is a key feature of many neurodegenerative diseases, yet comparing lipid data across studies has remained a challenge. To address this, Femke Feringa and Sascha Koppes-den Hertog from the dementia discovery team of Rik van der Kant (FGA-CNCR) together with the lipidomics and metabolomics team of Martin Giera at the LUMC in Leiden have developed the Neurolipid Atlas (available at neurolipidatlas.com).
