Xinning Zhang and Ashley Maloney discovered that a geology technique shows promise in detecting cancer-like cells. If their preliminary results bear out, they may have identified a new signature for ...

As if hot flashes, mood swings, uncomfortable sex, and a host of other symptoms weren't enough to deal with, menopause is ...

A new study has revealed the clearest-ever picture of the surface chemistry of worm species that provides insights into how animals interact with their environment and each other. These discoveries ...

Marine-derived lipids, including omega-3 fatty acids, are emerging as potential game-changers in cancer therapy. Research ...

Keywords: Lipid nanoparticles; Nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs ... Furthermore, the Pred-Rxn utility by IBM was used to predict the likely binding modes between the docked complex (MTF-Oleic acid) ...

The associations between these lipid levels and glaucoma risk showed non-significant results in polygenic risk score analyses and discrepancies in the crude models of our sensitivity analysis. These ...

A new class of lipids developed by Penn Engineers improve the rates at which lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) successfully deliver RNA therapeutics and gene editing tools, promising to increase their ...

Future work will focus on extending our algorithm to simulations of transmembrane dimerization in membranes with complex lipid compositions and at atomistic resolution. Biological membranes are ...

Taking vitamins is usually good for your health, but is it possible to take too much? The answer is yes. While vitamin B complex (a group of eight vitamins) plays a role in energy, brain health, and ...

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 this important study, the authors investigate the role of mycobacterial Wag31 in lipid and peptidoglycan biosynthesis. A detailed analysis of Wag31 domain architecture revealed a role in membrane ...
