Changing just one atom in a COVID-19 vaccine lipid redirects delivery from the liver to the spleen, improving tumor ...

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 ...

LNPs are solid or semi-solid particles at room temperature. They are composed of a lipid core stabilized by surfactants or other agents. This lipid core provides a hydrophobic environment ideal for ...

In a recent study published in eBioMedicine, researchers examined the causal effects of lipoprotein particles, lipids, and other metabolites on blood pressure (BP) and pulse pressure (PP). Study: ...

EPFL scientists have identified a molecular pathway that protects cells from lipid oxidation and ferroptosis, a regulated ...
