Abstract

Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) are crucial for mRNA vaccines and nucleic acid therapies.

  • LNPs contribute to mRNA vaccine efficacy and the delivery of nucleic acid-based therapies.
  • The effectiveness of LNPs is influenced by their size, structure, stability, and encapsulation efficiency.
  • Understanding the role of individual lipid components is essential for improving LNP performance.
  • Challenges include assessing LNP delivery beyond the liver and evaluating immunogenicity.
  • Strategies for overcoming these challenges may shape the future of LNP-based therapies.
