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 ...

For centuries arsenic has been synonymous with poison and peril. However, it is also ubiquitous in the Earth’s crust, and runoff from natural deposits and industrial processes has spread it throughout ...

Professor Itaru Hamachi, Lecturer Tomonori Tamura, and Assistant Professor Masaki Tsuchiya of Kyoto University have developed a new technology called O-ClickFC (Organelle-selective click labeling with ...

Lipidomics is the study of cell’s lipids and their involvement in critical biological processes. Shotgun lipidomics attempts to identify, quantify, and characterize lipids present in a cell, organ, or ...

Abstract: In one important chemical engineering unit operation of messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) vaccine manufacture, the precious mRNA payload is encapsulated in lipid nanoparticles. Recent ...

Engineers have discovered a simple and inexpensive means of directing lipid nanoparticles (LNPs), the revolutionary molecules that delivered the COVID-19 vaccines, to target specific tissues, ...

Ekin Atilla-Gokcumen is a chemical biologist who studies lipids, a class of organic molecules that includes fats, waxes and sterols like cholesterol. Atilla-Gokcumen is among scientists whose work has ...

Engineers from the University of Pennsylvania have opened new possibilities in gene therapy and personalized medicine by using lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) to target specific tissues. These molecules, ...

Figure 1. A schematic representation of a lipid nanoparticle encapsulating mRNA. As this new form of biotechnology makes a leap of progress, so too do the analytical approaches supporting its ...

James Parkinson, a 19th-century British surgeon, first reported what he called “the shaking palsy” in 1817, after observing a handful of patients with tremors and difficulty moving. More than 200 ...
