New dye is more effective in detecting, measuring unique lipid in cell membranesA team that includes Dartmouth College researchers has discovered a new way to detect cardiolipin, a key indicator of heart diseases and some genetic disorders.The results, which appear in the journal Analytical Chemistry, may eventually help to diagnose these conditions earlier on and to provide real-time monitoring of cardiolipin levels.Cardiolipin is a unique lipid of mitochondria, the cell structures that generate energy.
