An AI-identified lipid called P1 delivered mRNA 14.8 times more efficiently than the clinically approved lipid ALC-0315. Lipid P1's unique three-dimensional conformation allows it to bind ...
Postdoctoral fellow and co-first author Dongyoon Kim demonstrates some of the equipment used to craft the new ionizable lipids. The most common side effects of mRNA vaccines like the COVID-19 shot are ...
Scientists have discovered that the internal shape of tiny drug-delivery particles—called lipid nanoparticles—has a big impact on how well our cells absorb them, paving the way to more efficient ...
To create A1 lipid nanoparticles for delivering mRNA to target cells, scientists at the University of Pennsylvania used A3 coupling. A3 refers to the amine–aldehyde–alkyne coupling reaction, which the ...
Recent studies suggest that when neurons are overwhelmed by oxidative stress, they spew out toxic, peroxidated lipids. Glia then sail in to mop up the spill, containing the oils within intracellular ...
