Triacylglycerols are the primary storage form of long-chain fatty ... Alongside sphingolipids, sterols may form structures called lipid rafts which are implicated in signaling and membrane ...

Oregon Health & Science University, in collaboration with Oregon State University, has discovered the structural organization and protein components of a lipid-transfer complex known as LPD-3.

Scientists have developed a method for analysing the structure of lipid nanoparticles that could be used to improve vaccine ...

The viability of these new applications will be dependent on how well the lipid envelopes fuse with target cells, how stable the drug-LNP formulations are in storage (so that they have a long ...

"Membrane proteins sit in a cell membrane, which is a lipid bilayer," Meloni said. "To study their structure and biophysical and biochemical properties, we must extract these proteins from the ...

A team led by scientists at the University of Nottingham's School of Pharmacy demonstrated a new cryogenic mass spectrometry approach for depth profiling frozen tiny lipid nanoparticles to reveal the ...

Researchers from the Göttingen Cluster of Excellence Multiscale Bioimaging (MBExC) have uncovered the 3D structure of the ...

According to Welte, recent research found that lipid droplets have three main functions beyond their roles in fat storage: Maturation: Some proteins, when they are first made, need lipid droplets ...

There are more than 50 different lysosomal storage diseases, genetic disorders characterized by lysosomal accumulation of substrate. 1 Phenotypes vary widely, depending on the specific cell types ...
