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

Here, we use a synthetic amphiphile to modulate the membrane mechanical properties of cell-derived vesicles and probe channel activation. Using precise membrane mechanical characterization approaches ...

Proteins are life's engines, powering processes like muscle movement, vision, and chemical reactions. Their environments—water, lipid membranes, or other condensed phases—are critical to their ...

An interview on how advanced techniques can be used to enhance silk fibroin and chitosan for drug delivery applications.

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 ...

From there the blood is pumped to the lungs to get oxygen before going to the left side of the heart to be pumped back out to the body. The IVC gets its name from its structure and location. It is the ...

Based on that technology and the importance of liquid-ordered subdomains, we have developed a new printed lipid raft technology with a preserved native protein structure and lipid environment. To ...

BRMW is a free open source entity-relationship database modeling tool. We're working to make learning database modeling simple and accessible for everyone.

clang-uml is an automatic C++ to UML class, sequence, package and include diagram generator, driven by YAML configuration files. The main idea behind the project is to easily maintain up-to-date ...
