In addition to providing energy, lipids are also essential building blocks of our cell membranes. However, despite their ...

“We’ve never had such an in-depth map of the CD1 lipidome available,” said Patricia Barral, an immunologist at King’s College London who was not involved with the work. “It will enable us to start ...

In a recent study published in Cell Host & Microbe, researchers highlighted the role of lipids, especially bacteria-derived lipids in the gut microbiome, in mammalian physiology in the context of ...

Researchers have studied the cell membranes of ctenophores ('comb jellies') and found they had unique lipid structures that allow them to live under intense pressure. The bottom of the ocean is not ...

Scientists who work with lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) say they have developed a new type of material capable of reaching the lungs and the eyes. They call their study “Thiophene-based lipids for mRNA ...

A review maps high throughput strategies that link automation, microfluidics, and barcoding into a unified pipeline, enabling faster, more predictive lipid nanoparticle development for genetic ...

Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) are one of the most exciting technologies in drug delivery. LNPs protect and deliver genetic material into cells, allowing a large spectrum of RNA therapeutics, including ...

Biological drugs such as gene therapies and messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines frequently rely on lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) coated in a layer of polyethylene glycol (PEG) to deliver medications to the ...
