MTF is a hydrophilic medication. Accordingly, embedding MTF into lipid carriers for enhancing skin penetration presents a challenge. The study aims to optimize the loading of MTF into nanostructured ...

An international team of scientists has discovered the anti-icing secret of polar bear fur—something that allows one of the planet's most iconic animals to survive and thrive in one of its most ...

Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) represent a highly promising nonviral delivery platform for a variety of therapeutic nucleic acids, including short interfering RNA (siRNA), mRNA (mRNA), single-guide RNA ...

A new class of lipids developed by Penn Engineers improve the rates at which lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) successfully deliver RNA therapeutics and gene editing tools, promising to increase their ...

Lipids serve several important physiologic functions within the human body. For cell membranes, cholesterol provides an essential stabilizing function and facilitates membrane transport ...

1,2 Liposomes are spherical vesicles formed by one or more lipid bilayers surrounding an aqueous core. This structure allows them to encapsulate both hydrophilic drugs (in the aqueous core) and ...

A speaker highlighted key advances in lipid treatment in 2024. Topics included triglyceride and lipoprotein(a) management as well as another setback to the “HDL hypothesis.” In 2024 ...

Almost everything else is on his block gone. As many as 12,000 homes, businesses and other structures may have been destroyed in the wildfires raging in Los Angeles County, rendering entire ...
