Challenges and Shared Lessons in Developing Lipid Nanoparticles

Updated

Abstract

Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) are a promising delivery platform that can enhance the performance of nucleic acid therapies.

  • LNPs protect nucleic acid cargo and enable targeted delivery to specific tissues and cells.
  • Raw material quality, formulation parameters, nanoparticle architecture, and biological context may significantly impact clinical outcomes.
  • Key challenges include characterizing LNPs effectively, ensuring delivery specificity, and addressing scale-up and stability issues.
  • Rational design principles and reproducible manufacturing practices are essential for advancing LNP technologies.
  • Emerging applications of artificial intelligence could further improve LNP development and performance.
