A supported lipid bilayer is used as a chemical circuit board to carry out molecular computation with a network of nanoparticles. Nanoparticle logic operations are monitored by scattering colour ...

Bilayer lipid membrane is a basic structure of cell membranes which are highly sensitive biosensors for chemical, optical and mechanical stimuli. The characteristic features of bilayer lipid membranes ...

The earliest iteration of LNPs was the development of liposomes in the 1960s, with the first liposome-based drug product, Doxil, receiving FDA approval in 1995. In the early 1990s, a second generation ...

In drug development many applications are found for lipid-based nanoparticles (Lb-NPs) as successful transporters for poorly water-soluble drugs and oligonucleotides in gene therapy. Major advantages ...

Pharmaceutical scientists and biologists are teaming up to make the next generation of lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) for drug delivery. Combining structural biology with cutting edge pharmaceutical ...

Top Left: Distribution of vaccines, "Naked mRNA" and "mRNA cloaked in a lipid coat." Bottom Left: Lung tissues in unvaccinated and vaccinated mice after SARS-CoV-2 challenge. Right: Schematic diagram ...

Social media users have claimed the presence of lipid nanoparticles in a COVID-19 vaccine means it could contain small robots or computers. This is false - these nanoparticles are tiny lipid droplets ...
