The ways in which cells function are strongly dependent on cell membranes which enclose cellular compartments and separate the interiors of cells from the extracellular domain. Oxidative stress harms ...

The field of droplet interface bilayers (DIBs) and lipid membrane systems has witnessed substantial progress in recent years. DIBs are engineered lipid bilayers formed at the contact points of aqueous ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Biological and technological processes that involve liquids under negative pressure are vulnerable to the formation of cavities. Maximal ...

Researchers study how DNA nanopores (DNPs) interact with low-curvature supported lipid bilayers over time. Using QCM-D, the study tracks diffusion, aggregation, and incorporation of DNPs, highlighting ...

Lipids are the fatty molecules that make up cellular membranes, creating a protective barrier that regulates what enters and exits the cell. Until recently, scientists believed antibodies couldn't ...

Cancer cells have softer membranes than healthy cells. New nanoparticles exploit this physical difference to fuse selectively with tumors and deliver mRNA therapy with minimal off-target effects.

A study team (Professor Ryugo Tero et al.) from the Department of Applied Chemistry and Life Science at the Toyohashi University of Technology found a phenomenon in which particular lipids were ...

Thought LeadersMichael GirgisAssistant Professor at the Bioengineering departmentGeorge Mason University Get ready to explore the fascinating world of lipid nanoparticles in the latest episode of omg ...

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 ...

The latest short science news items from C&EN. A complicated sequence of events follows once an RNA drug is injected into the body. After the lipid-packaged RNA arrives at a cell, it pushes through ...
