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. A team led by ...

Recent studies suggest that when neurons are overwhelmed by oxidative stress, they spew out toxic, peroxidated lipids. Glia then sail in to mop up the spill, containing the oils within intracellular ...

Chemerin is a key adipokine that regulates lipid metabolism and insulin sensitivity, and thus is involved in many metabolic diseases such as obesity and diabetes. In addition, it plays a critical role ...

Changing just one atom in a COVID-19 vaccine lipid redirects delivery from the liver to the spleen, improving tumor ...

Imagine a scenario where a skilled hacker must upload critical software to update a central server and thwart a potentially lethal virus from wreaking havoc across a vast computer network. The ...

A cell membrane is illustrated to show the surface in red. Blue objects are proteins, including ion channels, which can send electrical impulses into cells. Lipids, or fats, are in yellow. In this ...

A microprotein called adipogenin appears to play a key role in helping fat cells store lipid droplets – a phenomenon that's pivotal for metabolic health, a study co-led by UT Southwestern Medical ...

A quality improvement initiative improved rates of lipid screening among children and adolescents and may improve downstream ...
