We are taught that plasma membranes are a typical lipid bilayer, but how do we know this, and who figured it out? Aa Aa Aa Most books mention that membranes have a typical "lipid bilayer," but why ...
A new framework bridges a gap in understanding RNA therapeutics by linking the structure of lipid nanoparticles to immune ...
The hydrophilic head is composed of a choline structure (blue) and a phosphate (orange). This head is connected to a glycerol (green) with two hydrophobic tails (purple) called fatty acids.
A new class of lipids developed by Penn Engineers improve the rates at which lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) successfully deliver ...
Lipids include fats (solid at room temperature) and oils (liquid at room temperature). Lipids are an important part of a healthy diet. The body uses lipids as an energy store, as insulation and to ...
Research papers focused on the importance of LNP structures and injection route in developing better LNP non-viral gene therapies for autoimmune diseases and metabolic disorders, such as diabetes.
