Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) are the leading nonviral nucleic acid delivery technology, but LNP structure-function data remains fragmented and nonstandardized. Unlike protein engineering which is ...

Transmembrane proteins comprise ~30% of the mammalian proteome, mediating metabolism, signalling, transport and many other functions required for cellular life. The microenvironment of integral ...

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.

A new study shows that lipid droplets in the leaves contain plant proteins such as different myosin binding proteins involved in intracellular movement, and several enzymes responsible for ...

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - Type 1 diabetes, or T1D, is an autoimmune disease in which the body's immune cells -- led by inflammatory macrophages -- attack and destroy the beta cells of the pancreas that ...

Chemerin is a key adipokine that regulates lipid metabolism and insulin sensitivity, and thus is involved in many metabolic diseases such as obesity and diabetes. In addition, it plays a critical role ...

An illustration showing a lipid nanoparticle containing messenger RNA enter a cell. A lipid nanoparticle (LNP) containing messenger RNA (mRNA) enters a cell through an endosome (right). When the LNP ...
