Our strong expertise allows us study lipid - protein interaction based phenomena at different scales, from the organ and cellular systems down to minimal synthetic systems in which we can control the proteins as well as the lipid, for instance to monitor the allosteric effects of specific lipids on fundamental receptors such as the EGF receptor (Coskun et al (2011) PNAS) and the insulin receptor.

Nintendo's NX (and the rapid iterations of the DS handhelds) are prime examples of this concept - the Wii - U had a phenomenal 1st - party attach rate, but the console isn't selling enough to make such a consistent approach to 1st - party quality into a large enough source of profit... so they relegate the console to Gamecube status, scale - back support and go to work on creating their next phenomenon - all within a year or two.
