We are taught that plasma membranes are a typical lipid bilayer, but how do we know this, and who figured it out? Aa Aa Aa Most books mention that membranes have a typical "lipid bilayer," but why ...

Researchers study how DNA nanopores (DNPs) interact with low-curvature supported lipid bilayers over time. Using QCM-D, the study tracks diffusion, aggregation, and incorporation of DNPs, highlighting ...

A study team (Professor Ryugo Tero et al.) from the Department of Applied Chemistry and Life Science at the Toyohashi University of Technology found a phenomenon in which particular lipids were ...

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: ...

Research into preventing and reversing the creation of misfolded protein aggregates known as fibrils could provide new therapeutic opportunities in the fight against neurodegenerative diseases such as ...

Nanoparticles have once again reached the spotlight, this time as a critical tool to combat the spread of covid-19. In this particular case, messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) encapsulated in lipid ...
