As a field, lipidomics is in its infancy, yet it has already begun to influence lipid biochemistry in myriad ways. As with other omic technologies, the field is driven by advances in analytical ...

When it comes to skincare, ingredients like hyaluronic acid and retinol are often in the spotlight, which leaves components ...

Since lipids are hydrophobic, they are better soluble in organic solvents than in water. Because the lipids are buried into protein particles simple shaking of the aqueous protein solution with an ...

Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) transport small molecules into the body. The most well-known LNP cargo is mRNA, the key constituent of some of the early vaccines against COVID-19. But that is just one ...

The lipids in the samples were identified using mass spectrometry, which allows determining a molecule's structure from the mass to charge ratio and its motion pattern in a magnetic field. The ...

LNPs are solid or semi-solid particles at room temperature. They are composed of a lipid core stabilized by surfactants or other agents. This lipid core provides a hydrophobic environment ideal for ...

University of California San Diego Assistant Professors Itay Budin and Christopher Obara have been named Allen Distinguished ...
