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) ...

Lipids are fatty compounds that perform a range of essential functions in the body. Phospholipids, steroids, and triglycerides are examples of lipids. Although lipids play an essential role in the ...

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers have used artificial intelligence to design ionizable lipids that outperform current gold-standard molecules in delivering mRNA, a key technology in vaccines and gene therapies. 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 ...
