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

To test whether AT2‑derived lipids are required for metastasis, the researchers selectively deleted Fasn in AT2 cells.

Bethesda, MD – In response to the growing number of lipids expected to be discovered through lipidomics and in anticipation of the massive amounts of data that will be generated by the lipid community ...

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 ...

Scientists have developed a method for analysing the structure of lipid nanoparticles that could be used to improve vaccine and drug delivery, targeting a wide range of health issues. (Nanowerk News) ...

Crenarchaeol is a large, closed-loop lipid that is present in the membranes of ammonium-oxidizing archaea. In comparison to other archaeal membrane lipids, crenarchaeol is very complex and, so far, ...

Researchers are redesigning lipid nanoparticles to do more than shuttle mRNA into cells, with preclinical studies suggesting ...

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 ...
