Capturing the turbulence of landfalling hurricane winds

When Hurricane Milton roared onshore in Florida last month, its powerful winds shredded the roof of Tropicana Field in Tampa, which had originally been planned as a staging area for emergency responders. Other parts of the ...

Engineers refine lipid nanoparticles for better mRNA therapies

Penn Engineers have cooked up a new way to improve mRNA delivery, developing an optimal "recipe" for ionizable lipids—key ingredients in lipid nanoparticles (LNPs), the molecules behind the COVID-19 vaccines and other innovative ...

tRNAs help some mRNAs get lost in translation

Scientists have discovered that tRNAs can determine how long mRNAs exist in a cell, causing some messages to be stabilized and translated into more protein, while directing others to be degraded and limiting how much protein ...
