Lipid Bank

A lipid bank is a specialized collection of lipids, which are fats and fat-like substances, used mainly for scientific research and medical purposes. These banks store various types of lipids in controlled conditions to study their roles in health, disease, and potential treatments. By maintaining a diverse and well-preserved library of lipids, researchers can better understand how these molecules function in the body, develop new drugs, or improve diagnostic techniques. Essentially, it’s a biological “library” that helps scientists explore how lipids influence our health and biology.
