A new class of lipids developed by Penn Engineers improve the rates at which lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) successfully deliver ...

Integral membrane proteins carry out essential functions in the cell, and their activities are often modulated by specific protein-lipid interactions in the membrane. Here, we elucidate the intricate ...

Lipids are hydrophobic or amphiphilic small molecules that include sterols, waxes, fatty acids and phospholipids, and are insoluble in water and soluble in organic solvent. Biological lipids are ...

The peptide Palmitoyl-GHK (Pal-GHK) has garnered considerable attention in the scientific community due to its structural attributes and potential functional roles in biological research and cellular ...

From combating cancer and infections to storing energy, lipid-protein interactions are ... a new resource to help researchers understand the structure and function of these interactions—called ...

A speaker highlighted key advances in lipid treatment in 2024. Topics included triglyceride and lipoprotein(a) management as well as another setback to the “HDL hypothesis.” In 2024 ...

Understanding bacterial growth mechanisms can potentially help uncover novel drug targets that are crucial for maintaining cellular viability, particularly for bacterial pathogens. In this important ...

Lipid peroxides are oxidative degradation products of lipids, generated by a free radical chain reaction. Because of their abundance of reactive hydrogens, polyunsaturated fatty acids are highly ...
