Ether lipids (EL) are glycerophospholipids with a different structure and functional characteristics than fatty acids, thus requiring a specialized biosynthesis pathway. Peroxisomal fatty acyl-CoA ...

Scientists have discovered that the internal shape of tiny drug-delivery particles—called lipid nanoparticles—has a big impact on how well our cells absorb them, paving the way to more efficient ...

Schematic illustration showing the classification of lipid‐based nanocarriers (LBNCs) (including liposomes, micelles, nanoemulsions, SLNs/NLCs, LNPs, BLNs, SRLNCs) and their targeted delivery to ...

Membrane proteins and membrane lipids are essential partners in various biological processes, and elucidating their ...

Interest in lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) as delivery vehicles for precision therapies in genetic diseases and cancers remains at an all-time high. Now, scientists from the University of Pennsylvania, ...

LNPs are solid or semi-solid particles at room temperature. They are composed of a lipid core stabilized by surfactants or other agents. This lipid core provides a hydrophobic environment ideal for ...

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 ...

“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 ...

New genetic research has identified a direct causal chain connecting the microorganisms in the human digestive tract to the ...
