Decades of work have yielded lipid nanoparticle structures that deliver RNA to specific locations in the body. This ...

There's a growing body of evidence that gold nanoparticles can offer significant, targeted weight loss that focuses on fat ...

We are taught that plasma membranes are a typical lipid bilayer, but how do we know this, and who figured it out? Aa Aa Aa Most books mention that membranes have a typical "lipid bilayer," but why ...

Every time a shuttle docks with the International Space Station (ISS), a delicate dance unfolds between the shuttle's docking system and its counterpart on the station.

A new class of lipids developed by Penn Engineers improve the rates at which lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) successfully deliver ...

adding that the database also provides information on paired lipid-protein annotation, experimental binding affinities, intermolecular interactions, and atomic structures across a wide range of li ...

The hydrophilic head is composed of a choline structure (blue) and a phosphate (orange). This head is connected to a glycerol (green) with two hydrophobic tails (purple) called fatty acids.

Research papers focused on the importance of LNP structures and injection route in developing better LNP non-viral gene therapies for autoimmune diseases and metabolic disorders, such as diabetes.

This adds to the growing body of work, from mouse and fly models, implicating lipid metabolism in neurodegeneration, particularly AD,” Amita Sehgal, Perelman School of Medici ...

The authors present an introduction to the basics of lipid metabolism including an overview of the structure and function of lipoproteins and a description of the pathways of lipid metabolism.

A speaker highlighted key advances in lipid treatment in 2024. Topics included triglyceride and lipoprotein(a) management as well as another setback to the “HDL hypothesis.” In 2024 ...

Apolipoproteins (apo) such as apoB, apoC and apoE, coat lipoprotein particles and serve a number of functions including the transport of lipids in the blood and recognition of lipoprotein ...
