The most common side effects of mRNA vaccines like the COVID-19 shot are well known: soreness, mild fever, and general ...

Engineers at the University of Pennsylvania have built a lipid nanoparticle that chemically fuses an IDO-pathway inhibitor with the very lipids that carry IL-12 mRNA into tumors, creating a single ...

Membrane proteins spend their time surrounded by lipids. For a long time, researchers thought those lipids didn’t really matter, that they were just a backdrop for the real players, an annoyance to be ...

New research suggests that everyone should have their lipoprotein(a) levels tested—but what is that?

Obesity and obesity-associated diseases, such as type 2 diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular diseases, have reached pandemic levels worldwide and are major threats to human life. Lipid species within ...

New understandings of how lipids function within tears could lead to better drugs for treating dry eye disease. A new approach has given Hokkaido University researchers insight into the synthesis and ...

New understandings of how lipids function within tears could lead to better drugs for treating dry eye disease. New understandings of how lipids function within tears could lead to better drugs for ...

A schematic illustration of the role of DHHC5 and CRYBG1 in controlling lacteal function and intestinal lipid absorption by maintaining the lipid raft association of VEGFR2. The proper functioning of ...

So far, it has been difficult to analyze the functions of lipid molecules in living cells. Researchers have now developed chemical tools that can be activated by light and used to influence lipid ...

This project explores how a specific group of lipids, key membrane components and dynamic signaling molecules, shape cellular fate by regulating both senescence and cell death. Project is Not ...
