Genetic Pattern for Schizophrenia Found. July 1, 2009 -- A vast number of common gene variants come together in a perfect storm to increase risk of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, new studies reveal. But scientists now realize that most inherited disease factors aren't single genes, but combinations of different genes.
Phospholipids make up the basic structure of a cell membrane. A single phospholipid molecule has two different ends: a head and a tail. The head end contains a phosphate group and is hydrophilic.This means that it likes or is attracted to water molecules.hospholipids make up the basic structure of a cell membrane.

Phospholipids consist of a polar molecule, a phosphate group, a glycerol unit and two fatty acids. They are found in cell membranes, which enclose the cytoplasm and other parts of a cell. Steroids include cholesterol, cortisone and sex hormones, such as estrogen, testosterone and progesterone. They have a carbon backbone that contains four fused ring-like structures.
