Lipids are hydrophobic or amphiphilic small molecules that include sterols, waxes, fatty acids and phospholipids, and are insoluble in water and soluble in organic solvent. Biological lipids are ...

LNPs are solid or semi-solid particles at room temperature. They are composed of a lipid core stabilized by surfactants or other agents. This lipid core provides a hydrophobic environment ideal for ...

Unsaturated fats are an essential part of your daily diet. Your body uses fats for energy, to keep cells working, produce hormones, and help your body absorb oil-based vitamins (A, D, E, and K). Since ...
