Mass spectrometric imaging of lipids using desorption electrospray ionization [PDF]
Desorption electrospray ionization (DESI), a relatively new ambient ionization technique used in mass spectrometry (MS), allows for the direct analysis of samples such as thin tissue sections, to be conducted outside of vacuum in the ambient environment and often without sample preparation.

Modulation of elasticity and interactions in charged lipid multibilayers: monovalent salt solutions
We have studied the electrostatic screening effect of NaCl solutions on the interactions between anionic lipid bilayers in the fluid lamellar phase using a Poisson-Boltzmann based mean-field approach with constant charge and constant potential limiting ...

Comparison of ionizable lipids for lipid nanoparticle mediated DNA delivery
Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) are successfully used for RNA-based gene delivery. In the context of gene replacement therapies, however, delivery of DNA expression plasmids using LNPs as a non-viral vector could be a promising strategy for the induction of longer-lasting effects.

Structural biology of ferritin nanocages
Ferritin is a conserved iron‐storage protein that sequesters iron as a ferric mineral core within a nanocage, protecting cells from oxidative damage and maintaining iron homeostasis. This review discusses ferritin biology, structure, and function, and highlights recent cryo‐EM studies revealing mechanisms of ferritinophagy, cellular iron uptake, and ...

Effect of mRNA-LNP components of two globally-marketed COVID-19 vaccines on efficacy and stability
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna successfully developed nucleoside-modified mRNA lipid nanoparticle (LNP) vaccines. SARS-CoV-2 spike protein expressed by those vaccines are identical in amino acid sequence, but several key ...
