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) ...

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, ...

Lipids are fatty molecules that play critical roles in cell function, including membrane structure, energy storage and nutrient absorption. Most lipids are made in a cell organelle called the ...

Using cryogenic mass spectrometry, scientists from the University of Nottingham’s School of Pharmacy and their collaborators elsewhere developed an approach for depth profiling frozen lipid ...

Why do cells age—and why do we lose our energy and vitality as we get older? This question is one of the central challenges ...

Lipids are a class of biomolecules that play an important role in many cellular processes. Analyses that seek to characterize all lipids in a sample—called lipidomics—are crucial to studying complex ...

Scientists have found that 93% of the lipids in brain tissue are distributed differently in the white and gray matter, the subcortex, the visual and motor cortices, and the prefrontal cortex, which is ...

Chemerin is a key adipokine—a signaling protein released by adipose tissue—that regulates lipid metabolism and insulin sensitivity and thus is involved in many metabolic diseases such as obesity and ...
