The most common side effects of mRNA vaccines like the COVID-19 shot are well known: soreness, mild fever, and general ...

To test whether AT2‑derived lipids are required for metastasis, the researchers selectively deleted Fasn in AT2 cells.

Engineers at the University of Pennsylvania have built a lipid nanoparticle that chemically fuses an IDO-pathway inhibitor with the very lipids that carry IL-12 mRNA into tumors, creating a single ...

KU Leuven Center for Cancer Biology, in collaboration with the Francis Crick Institute, has discovered how cancer cells can ...

“We’ve never had such an in-depth map of the CD1 lipidome available,” said Patricia Barral, an immunologist at King’s College London who was not involved with the work. “It will enable us to start ...

Scientists who work with lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) say they have developed a new type of material capable of reaching the lungs and the eyes. They call their study “Thiophene-based lipids for mRNA ...

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 ...

Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) are one of the most exciting technologies in drug delivery. LNPs protect and deliver genetic material into cells, allowing a large spectrum of RNA therapeutics, including ...

Researchers are redesigning lipid nanoparticles to do more than shuttle mRNA into cells, with preclinical studies suggesting ...
