For the first time, scientists have observed a phosphorus-containing lipid molecule that assembles by itself to form cubes. Research carried out at facilities including DESY has shown that the ...

Lipids adopt defined phases depending on their molecular structure and the physical conditions. In lipid mixtures, two fluid phases can coexist with different physical properties: liquid ...

Details appeared recently in Nature Biomedical Engineering, in an article titled, “Optimization of the activity and biodegradability of ionizable lipids for mRNA delivery via directed chemical ...

A dreaded fungus known to inhabit tombs has been reconstituted as a treatment for leukemia and is performing as effectively ...
