Fatty acids formed the first cell membranes, creating protective boundaries that allowed life to begin. These lipid bilayers housed and protected cellular contents, a basic structure that bacteria still use today.
But please, Dr. Cena, kind of explain this whole role of fatty acids, bacteria and implants in our patients.
Dr. Whitfield, thank you again. You know, it's my pleasure to be here and explain to you, to your audience, the sort of research that we are doing. So let me take the audience back to when the first life was, you know, formed. The first signs of life did not had what we usually are hearing these days, a DNA or rna. It was just a cell, a simple cell with fatty acids around it, which we call as the lipid bilayer, the single cell with fatty acids. The importance is the fatty acids, and they are so critical for the structure of life. That is what protects every single cell. That gives the cell its stability, its protection. And that's where the contents of the cells are housed in, inside the lipid bilayer that forms the periphery.
So is that like the fence around my house? Is it just protecting my house?
That's the fence around the house. So there is a fence around every cell, and then there is a fence on the top of the skin.
