How Biological Molecules Surround RNA-Lipid Nanoparticles and Affect Their Interactions and Treatments

Updated

Abstract

Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) influence therapeutic outcomes by forming a biomolecular corona that alters their biological interactions.

  • The biomolecular corona, formed by biomolecules in biological fluids, significantly changes the properties of LNPs.
  • This corona affects key biological processes such as how LNPs are taken up by cells, recognized by the immune system, and distributed within the body.
  • The composition of the corona is influenced by both the inherent characteristics of the LNPs and the surrounding biological environment.
  • Understanding the role of the corona is crucial for predicting clinical outcomes based on preclinical data.
  • Strategies to alter the corona's composition may enhance the delivery and therapeutic effectiveness of LNPs.
