In addition to providing energy, lipids are also essential building blocks of our cell membranes. However, despite their importance, they remain poorly understood. For the first time, a team from the ...

Lipids are a diverse group of hydrophobic or amphipathic biomolecules that serve as structural components of cell membranes, energy stores and signalling mediators. Major classes include fatty acids, ...

Lipid membranes are self-assembled bilayers composed primarily of amphipathic lipids such as phospholipids, cholesterol and glycolipids. These structures form the fundamental barrier and functional ...

LNPs consist of ionizable lipids, which are critical for encapsulating RNA and enabling cellular uptake. Helper lipids contribute to the structural integrity and fusion with cell membranes.
