Model Biomembranes: Afternoon session
- Tommy Nylander (Physical Chemistry and NanoLund, Lund University)
Model membrane studies involving X-rays and neutrons have greatly informed our understanding of the structure and dynamics of biological membranes. Recently, membrane lateral organization – thought to play a vital part in the function of membranes in vivo – has been emulated in model membrane systems, and neutron scattering approaches have been developed to study this organization on the...
Modified messenger RNA constitues a new intresting approach for transient protein expression in different therapies. Based on learnings from DNA delivery the intracellular delivery of such macromolecules remains a challenge. In our work we have prepared so called lipid nanoparticles (LNPs), containing several copies of mRNA in each, using microfluidic mixing. The size of such LNPs can be...
