Aircraft wing-shaped structures inside tiny channels produce consistent drug delivery particles at any scale, from small laboratory tests to factory production, while substantially cutting costs.

This study mapped how EPA and DHA are distributed across lipid classes in microalgae, fish, krill, and commercial omega-3 ...

Crenarchaeol is a large, closed-loop lipid that is present in the membranes of ammonium-oxidizing archaea. In comparison to other archaeal membrane lipids, crenarchaeol is very complex and, so far, ...

“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 ...

Scientists have developed a method for analysing the structure of lipid nanoparticles that could be used to improve vaccine and drug delivery, targeting a wide range of health issues. (Nanowerk News) ...

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 ...

Lipid-binding sites and properties were compared in the hetero-oligomeric cytochrome (cyt) b₆f and the yeast bc₁ complexes that function, respectively, in photosynthetic and respiratory electron ...

Interest in lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) as delivery vehicles for precision therapies in genetic diseases and cancers remains at an all-time high. Now, scientists from the University of Pennsylvania, ...

LNPs are solid or semi-solid particles at room temperature. They are composed of a lipid core stabilized by surfactants or other agents. This lipid core provides a hydrophobic environment ideal for ...

A by-product of rice bran oil production has long been recognized as a source of beneficial lipids for skin health and nutrition. Now, researchers have uncovered an entirely new class of skin-active ...
