"They're mainly in the cell membrane to create scaffolding for signaling proteins." This finding raised an intriguing possibility. Was lipid metabolism in cancer cells really just the story of ...

The LNP-mRNA modality is a novel approach that uses lipid nanoparticles to deliver messenger RNA into cells. The mRNA acts as ...

Here, we use a synthetic amphiphile to modulate the membrane mechanical properties of cell-derived vesicles and probe channel activation. Using precise membrane mechanical characterization approaches ...

Every time a shuttle docks with the International Space Station (ISS), a delicate dance unfolds between the shuttle's docking ...

Scientists have identified nanoparticles that latch onto and destroy virus membranes, opening new possibilities for antiviral ...

More broadly the lab studies the mechanisms how cells regulate the abundance of lipids, how they store lipids to buffer fluctuation in their availability, and how these processes function in membrane ...

A research team has now used new in vitro and cell culture models to show that a lipid anchor on the outer membrane of nerve cells inhibits the aggregation of the prion protein. Researchers have ...

Researchers at Tel Aviv University have achieved a breakthrough in drug delivery: they have successfully transported lipid ...
