A study from FAU has shown that lipid nanoparticles restructure their membrane significantly after being absorbed into a cell ...

Biological processes that govern our lives are many, intertwined, and often difficult to understand. They involve countless ...

A new study shows that lipid nanoparticles restructure their membrane significantly after being absorbed into a cell and ...

The behaviour of a receptor protein can be influenced by the presence of certain lipids in the membrane it is embedded in.

The cellular membrane is far more than a passive barrier; it is a dynamic platform integral to intracellular communication and metabolic regulation. Advances in our understanding have revealed that ...

Adding long-chain fatty acids can thicken cell membranes and alter the activity of a key enzyme, as LMU scientists have demonstrated in cell cultures. A characteristic feature of Alzheimer's disease ...

Cancer cells have softer membranes than healthy cells. New nanoparticles exploit this physical difference to fuse selectively with tumors and deliver mRNA therapy with minimal off-target effects.

Lipids are the fatty molecules that make up cellular membranes, creating a protective barrier that regulates what enters and exits the cell. Until recently, scientists believed antibodies couldn't ...

The cytokine-producing signal protein, a target for drug hunters, has additional activators that could be manipulated ...

Scientists find that moderate beer consumption leads to distinct but mild changes in red blood cell membranes, highlighting the role of diet in shaping lipid composition and health impacts. Study: ...
