Lipids are a significant class of nutrients vital to ... crucial for the cell membrane structure (Figure 2), each comprising two fatty acyl tails and a phosphate polar head on a glycerol backbone.

Lipids are a fundamental class of organic molecules ... Phospholipids are composed of a glycerol backbone, with a hydrophobic fatty acid tail, a hydrophilic head group, and a phosphate group. The type ...

Every time a shuttle docks with the International Space Station (ISS), a delicate dance unfolds between the shuttle's docking system and its counterpart on the station. Thanks to international ...

A few years ago, researchers at Carnegie Mellon University made an intriguing discovery: adding a branch to the end of LNPs' normally linear lipid tails dramatically improved mRNA delivery.

The fatty membrane surrounding every living cell is a vibrant environment where countless biological processes take place.

In most aquatic vertebrates, the lateral line is most complex near the fish’s head, and becomes more streamlined as it approaches the animal’s tail. But in the cownose ray, the more complex ...

By contrast, most aquatic vertebrates have a lateral line that is streamlined near the animal’s tail and only becomes complex near their head. This would help them both bury themselves to avoid ...
