Lipids are amphiphilic molecules derived from organisms, and have both hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties ... lipids modified by the hydrophilic polymer, polyethylene glycol (PEG) (Figure ...

They consist of a double layer ("bilayer") of lipids that contain a hydrophilic head group and generally two long, hydrophobic tails. Whereas the head groups face outwards, the hydrophobic tail ...

Through the addition of agents to the lipid membrane ... for direct drug conjugation (e.g., linear polymers). The second group includes hydrophobic interactions between drugs and nanocarriers ...

Structural biology has made enormous contributions to a scientific understanding of protein structure and functions. In contrast, lipid molecules comprising biological membranes remains largely ...

Researchers in Japan have developed a new method for purifying cholesterol-modified DNA nanostructures that could be used to functionalize molecular robot bodies (lipid vesicles). The study was a ...

Both structures comprise amphiphilic molecules with hydrophilic (water-attracting) and hydrophobic (water-repelling) components. This dual nature allows them to interact with water and lipids.

Gamma Biosciences has announced an initiative through its subsidiary, Mirus Bio, to develop lipid-polymer nanocomplexes for improve mRNA delivery solutions. Gamma Biosciences announced on March 22, ...

"The human body is mostly water, so if you insert something with exposed hydrophobic moieties ... Jiang has developed lipid nanoparticles that use a zwitterionic polymer, a crucial alternative ...

The core can be liquid, solid, or even gaseous, while the shell is usually made of polymers ... using various lipids, such as triglycerides, fatty acids, or waxes. Lipid nanocapsules are particularly ...
