Lipids: Synthesis and Applications

This lecture covers the synthesis of lipids in cells and labs, including the pathways for phospholipid synthesis, saponification reactions, and critical micelle concentration. It also explores lipid-based nanoparticles, vesicle flavors, and the structural design of lipid aggregates. The instructor discusses the use of lipids in therapeutic nanoparticles, vaccines, and functional liposomes, as well as their role in exosomes and apoptotic bodies. The lecture concludes by highlighting the importance of lipids as essential building blocks in cells and their potential applications in vaccines and therapeutic technologies.
