A team presents the synthesis and chemical engineering of 3 #lncRNAs to suppress inflammation in mice and in human cells—one of the first demonstrations that lncRNAs outside of cells can be deployed to affect cell biology. @OFKLab @JanicePang_ @bme_uoft scim.ag/4urlDfg

I made this short idle animation of a lipid nanoparticle encapsulating mRNA! I recently got into using Blender (with lots of help from @bradyajohnston @CgFigures for tutorials and plugins) and its been fun. #molecularnodes is not just for proteins 😁. #b3d #sciart
