The chemical industry applies lipid analysis and characterization in creating specialty chemicals and polymers. Lipids can serve as raw materials in polymer chemistry. For instance, lipid-based ...

Lipids are fatty compounds that perform a range of essential functions in the body. Phospholipids, steroids, and triglycerides are examples of lipids. Although lipids play an essential role in the ...

Lipid nanoparticle formulation has increased over the past two decades. LNPs have proven to be effective nano-based delivery vehicles for cytotoxic chemotherapeutic drugs, nucleic acid therapies and ...

Lipids and membrane proteins existing in cell membranes, which locates at the outermost layer of cells, are responsible for recognizing extracellular environments and transferring that information ...

Ion channels are essential to key cellular processes including signal transduction, osmoregulation and maintenance of the membrane potential. They are therefore the targets of many clinically used ...

Lipids aren’t the only important ingredients influencing stability and in vivo performance. For messenger RNA (mRNA) therapeutics and vaccines formulated as lipid nanoparticles (LNPs), the excipients ...

Development of viable dosage forms for poorly water-soluble compounds continues to be a significant challenge for formulation scientists, and insufficient bioavailability of such compounds may result ...

Most people don’t enjoy getting shots for treatments or vaccines. So, researchers are working to create more medicines, such as those made from messenger RNA (mRNA), that can be sprayed and inhaled. A ...
