Abstract

Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) are effective in delivering mRNA, as demonstrated by their success in SARS-CoV-2 vaccines.

LNPs protect and transport mRNA, enhancing its stability and delivery to target sites.
Challenges in mRNA-LNP systems include limited targeting specificity and complex formulations.
Artificial intelligence (AI) may accelerate the design and optimization of LNPs.
AI-guided approaches could enhance the efficiency of lipid structure screening through predictive modeling.
Combining AI with LNP technology may enable more personalized delivery systems and streamline development processes.

Simplified

Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) hold significant potential for mRNA-based therapeutics, as evidenced by their successful use in SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccines. LNPs effectively protect and transport mRNA to target sites, thereby ensuring its stability and efficient transfection. Despite the progress, some challenges remain in the development of mRNA-LNP delivery systems, such as limited targeting specificity, the complexity of formulations, and the time-consuming and high-throughput screening process. Artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a powerful tool to address these challenges, accelerating the design and optimization process of LNPs. AI-guided approaches can improve the efficiency of lipid structure and formulation screening by rapidly identifying key design parameters and employing predictive modeling to optimize LNP properties. The combination of AI and LNP technology offers significant advantages, including enabling the design of more personalized and precise delivery systems, streamlining the development process, and reducing the cost. This review discusses recent advancements in AI-guided mRNA-LNP delivery systems and highlights their potential to revolutionize mRNA therapeutics.
