Crenarchaeol is a large, closed-loop lipid that is present in the membranes of ammonium-oxidizing archaea. In comparison to other archaeal membrane lipids, crenarchaeol is very complex and, so far, ...

Scientists have developed a method for analysing the structure of lipid nanoparticles that could be used to improve vaccine and drug delivery, targeting a wide range of health issues. A team led by ...

Scientists from the University of Pennsylvania have developed an ideal “recipe” for ionizable lipids, which are essential components of lipid nanoparticles (LNPs), the molecules that underlie the ...

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

Using cryogenic mass spectrometry, scientists from the University of Nottingham’s School of Pharmacy and their collaborators elsewhere developed an approach for depth profiling frozen lipid ...

Penn Engineers have discovered a novel means of directing lipid nanoparticles (LNPs), the revolutionary molecules that delivered the COVID-19 vaccines, to target specific tissues, presaging a new era ...
