Biological processes that govern our lives are many, intertwined, and often difficult to understand. They involve countless ...

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 ...

Ether lipids (EL) are glycerophospholipids with a different structure and functional characteristics than fatty acids, thus requiring a specialized biosynthesis pathway. Peroxisomal fatty acyl-CoA ...

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, ...

In a recent study published in Cell Host & Microbe, researchers highlighted the role of lipids, especially bacteria-derived lipids in the gut microbiome, in mammalian physiology in the context of ...
