Different types of lipid molecule are transported around the cell by lipid-transfer proteins. Biochemical approaches have been adapted to measure which lipids are captured by the more than 130 known ...

“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 ...

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

In a recent study published in the journal Nature Metabolism, a team of researchers conducted detailed longitudinal profiling and analysis of the lipidome using plasma samples from over a hundred ...

Better mRNA release inside cells boosts vaccine and gene editing performance, enabled by redesigned lipid molecules that grip ...

A new tool enables biomedical researchers from around the world to quickly see the connections between lipids and proteins inside cells, thanks to a new initiative led by scientists at Oregon Health & ...
