Researchers at the University of Toronto have developed LUMI-lab, an AI-enabled self-driving laboratory that has identified brominated lipid tails as a potent and previously unrecognised enhancer ...

Structural, functional and computational evidence demonstrates that when certain ion channels are activated by mechanical force, they assume an open configuration in which the pore is formed by both ...

Minor changes in moisture level can promote lipid molecules to reorganize themselves in biomaterial or biomembranes. This can ...

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 ...

To create A1 lipid nanoparticles for delivering mRNA to target cells, scientists at the University of Pennsylvania used A3 coupling. A3 refers to the amine–aldehyde–alkyne coupling reaction, which the ...

AI has designed candidate drugs for antibiotic-resistant infections and genetic diseases. But efforts to incorporate AI into ...

“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 ...

New research shows that lipid nanoparticles used in mRNA vaccines may deliver RNA more effectively when their structure is disorganised.

In a recent study published in the journal Nature Metabolism, a team of researchers conducted detailed longitudinal profiling and analysis of the lipidome using plasma samples from over a hundred ...

Minor changes in moisture level can promote lipid molecules to reorganise themselves in biomaterial or biomembranes. This can affect how the skin ...

New research finds that sleep is essential for protecting brain mitochondria by transferring toxic metabolic waste from neurons to glial cells for disposal.
