A study from FAU has shown that lipid nanoparticles restructure their membrane significantly after being absorbed into a cell and ending up in an acidic environment. Vaccines and other medicines are ...

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterised by progressive neurodegeneration and cognitive decline, with emerging evidence implicating disruptions in lipid metabolism as a central element in its ...

Nutritional science increasingly recognizes the need to understand how oxidized components of foods and dietary supplements—including lipids, proteins, and ...

Lipid metabolism comprises the intricate biochemical processes by which psittacine birds synthesise, modify and degrade lipids, which are fundamental to energy production, cellular membrane integrity ...

Scientists who work with lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) say they have developed a new type of material capable of reaching the lungs and the eyes. They call their study “Thiophene-based lipids for mRNA ...

Certain lipids discovered in the 1800s presented chemists with structural and functional puzzles that proved unsolvable. And so, the chemists called these lipids sphingolipids, likening them to the ...
