Lipids can be systematically classified according to functional properties, structural features, biochemical origin or biological system. However Lipid nomenclature has yet to become a robust research ...

The development of high-throughput experimentation has led to astronomical growth in biologically relevant lipids and lipid derivatives identified, screened, and deposited in numerous online databases ...

In the “omics” world, lipids have long been in the shadows, while nucleic acids and proteins hogged the limelight. But now, this broad-ranging class of biomolecules is stepping into the spotlight as ...

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 ...

Researchers report the structure of a key long-chain lipid in the tear film lipid layer, which prevents tears from drying out. Their finding may be used to improve treatments for dry eye. As anyone ...

An AI-identified lipid called P1 delivered mRNA 14.8 times more efficiently than the clinically approved lipid ALC-0315. Lipid P1's unique three-dimensional conformation allows it to bind ...
