In the above article [1], the authors regret that there was a mistake in calculating the mol% of the microbubble coating composition. For all experiments, the unit in mg/mL was utilized and the conversion mistake only came when converting to mol% in order to define the ratio between the coating formulation components. The correct molecular weight of PEG-40 stearate is 2046.54 g/mol [2], [3], not 328.53 g/mol. On page 786, paragraph II-A, it should read "The coating was composed of 84.8 mol% DSPC (P6517, Sigma-Aldrich, Zwijndrecht, The Netherlands) or DPPC (850355, Avanti Polar Lipids, Alabaster, AL, USA); 8.2 mol% polyoxyethylene-40-stearate (PEG-40 stearate, P3440, Sigma-Aldrich); 5.9 mol% 1,2-distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine-N-[carboxy(polyethylene glycol)-2000] (DSPE-PEG(2000), 880125, Avanti Polar Lipids); and 1.1 mol% 1,2-distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine-N-[biotinyl(polyethylene glycol)-2000] (DSPE-PEG(2000)-biotin, 880129, Avanti Polar Lipids)."

Article Synopsis
- Scientists from 34 labs in 19 countries worked together to measure certain fats (ceramides) in human blood using special techniques.
- They used both standard methods and their own methods to get very accurate and consistent results.
- The study helps improve future medical tests and treatments by providing reliable information about these fats in blood samples.
Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs), most commonly recognised for their role in COVID-19 mRNA vaccines, are important delivery vehicles for nucleic acid (mRNA, siRNA) therapies. The physicochemical attributes, such as size, nucleic acid encapsulation and electric charge, may have a significant impact on the efficacy of these medicines. In this study, adjustments to aqueous to lipid phase ratios were assessed for their impact on LNP size and other critical quality attributes (CQAs).

The discovery of a novel sphingolipid subclass, the (1-deoxy)sphingolipids, which lack the 1-hydroxy group, attracted considerable attention in the last decade, mainly due to their involvement in disease. They differed in their physico-chemical properties from the canonical (or 1-hydroxy) sphingolipids and they were more toxic when accumulated in cells, inducing neurodegeneration and other dysfunctions. (1-Deoxy)ceramides, (1-deoxy)dihydroceramides, and (1- deoxymethyl)dihydroceramides, the latter two containing a saturated sphingoid chain, have been studied in this work using differential scanning calorimetry, confocal fluorescence and atomic force microscopy, to evaluate their behavior in bilayers composed of mixtures of three or four lipids.
