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 ...

“We’ve never had such an in-depth map of the CD1 lipidome available,” said Patricia Barral, an immunologist at King’s College London who was not involved with the work. “It will enable us to start ...

A new survey of an under-explored aspect of human biology uncovers the many roles of the body's 'greasy molecules.' The sequencing of the human genome promised a revolution in medicine, but scientists ...

The skin is the largest organ of the body, and it plays a crucial role as the first line of defense against pathogens and insults from the external environment. It provides important functions like ...

LNPs consist of ionizable lipids, which are critical for encapsulating RNA and enabling cellular uptake. Helper lipids contribute to the structural integrity and fusion with cell membranes.

Lipid nanoparticles address key drug delivery challenges, including immune evasion, toxicity, and regulatory approval.

Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) have emerged as a transformative platform in the field of neurotherapeutics, particularly for targeting the aging brain.
