A global team of scientists has made a groundbreaking discovery of a new skeletal tissue known as “lipocartilage,” offering immense potential for regenerative medicine and tissue engineering.    Among ...

The genes that build the cartilage of fish gills were repurposed to build the cartilage in mammals’ outer ears ...

Lipid droplets (LDs) are the fat storage organelles of the cell, and their dysfunction is linked to obesity, diabetes, lipodystrophy, and neurological disorders. To fulfill their numerous metabolic ...

Self-stimulated ejection of freezing droplets, unlocking cost-effective applications in de-icing Date: January 14, 2025 Source: The Hong Kong Polytechnic University Summary: Water droplets under ...

Water droplets under freezing conditions do not spontaneously detach from surfaces as they do at room temperature due to stronger droplet-surface interaction and lack of an energy transformation ...

“With these nano-sized droplets, we’re able to capture most particles—viruses such as COVID-19 and influenza—and other large particles, like pollens, which cause a lot of allergie ...

The team first examined human fetal cartilage at gestational week 20 to 21 and observed numerous lipid vacuoles in the ear, nose, thyroid, and epiglottal cartilage tissue. They also noted fat droplets ...

Nektarios Tavernarakis from the University of Crete explore how tiny fat droplets, known as nuclear lipid droplets (nLDs), accumulate in the nucleus of cells as we age. Unlike regular lipid ...

Ionizable lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) that deliver nucleic acid therapeutics to the liver have been successful in the clinic, but achieving LNP delivery to other organs has been challenging.
