International research team presents new imaging technique to make lipids in cellular membranes visible and show how they are organized at the nanoscale. To the point: 3D visualization of lipids with ...

An AI model that screens ionizable lipids by 3D conformation identified a candidate 14.8 times more efficient than current ...

Penn Engineers have redesigned a key component of lipid nanoparticles (LNPs), the delivery vehicles behind mRNA vaccines, to steer the particles ...

The most common side effects of mRNA vaccines like the COVID-19 shot are well known: soreness, mild fever, and general malaise. Those symptoms, which typically resolve within days, are the natural ...

Scientists have identified the transporter protein that allows essential fats in the bloodstream to enter the skin, reshaping ...

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

Different types of lipid molecule are transported around the cell by lipid-transfer proteins. Biochemical approaches have been adapted to measure which lipids are captured by the more than 130 known ...
