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 new class of lipids improve the rates at which lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) successfully deliver RNA therapeutics and gene editing tools, promising to increase their effectiveness of such treatments.

The relationship between lipid levels and the development of dementia is an evolving but confusing landscape. "This is an incredibly complex area, and there really isn't a clear consensus on this ...

A study from FAU has shown that lipid nanoparticles restructure their membrane significantly after being absorbed into a cell and ending up in an acidic environment. Vaccines and other medicines are ...

From vaccines to personalized cancer therapies, scientists are studying the use of mRNA across many clinical applications. However, there are several factors that are unique to mRNA drug product ...

The behaviour of a receptor protein can be influenced by the presence of certain lipids in the membrane it is embedded in.
