Within a cell, DNA carries the genetic code for building proteins. To build proteins, the cell makes a copy of DNA, called mRNA.

LMU researchers have investigated how cationic polymers organize on a molecular level when transporting RNA drugs.

Fatty acid biosynthesis is an energy-intensive biosynthetic pathway, and the production of the building blocks for membrane phospholipids is precisely regulated to match the rate of cell division.

Lipids, or fats, are essential to life. They form the membranes around cells, protecting them from the outside. In nature, ...
