Historically, researchers have tested the safety and toxicity of chemicals by using biological assays, or bioassays. These tests involve exposing nonhuman animals – often rodents such as rats or mice ...

After testing BEND lipids in a variety of experiments—from editing genes in liver cells to running complex biochemical simulations—the researchers concluded that BEND lipids reliably ...

In biology, seeing can lead to understanding, and researchers in Professor Edward Boyden's lab at the McGovern Institute for ...

Nevertheless, an imbalance in the types and quantities of lipids can contribute to health problems, particularly ...

Peer’s group is still testing the thermostable lipids they developed, but he hopes they can make mRNA vaccines available to more countries, especially in the Global South. “Thermostable ...
