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 ...

Membrane lipids may have helped shape the evolution of proteins in the respiratory complexes of mitochondria, a team of cell biologists at the CSIR-Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology in ...

Our bodies are made of cells. Each cell is a soup of smaller components, all working together to execute the body’s various functions. Perhaps the most well-known of these components are proteins — ...

Skoltech scientists and German researchers conducted a large-scale collaborative research project to study the fat composition in 6 different tissues of 32 mammalian species. They found that the ...
