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 ...

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 ...

Synthesis of one of the most abundant organic lipids elucidates its structure Date: July 13, 2021 Source: University of Groningen Summary: Crenarchaeol is a large, closed-loop lipid that is ...

Tiny fat bubbles carrying gene therapy have successfully repaired DNA in the lungs and liver of animals with alpha-1 ...

The lipids self-assemble into an intricate and complex 3D cubic structure, with water channels and lipid bridges running throughout the entire particle that can be used to package small molecule ...

Interactions between proteins and lipids have diverse and complex roles in various biological processes, ranging from the structure, function, and dynamics of biological membranes to host-pathogen ...

UB researcher Viviana Monje and colleagues have been awarded a $1.2 million grant to study how the popular aquarium fish ...

“We found that the A 3 reaction was not only efficient but also flexible enough to allow for precise control over the lipids’ molecular structure,” says Mitchell. This flexibility was key to ...
