Adding fats chemically or physically to lysine-histidine peptides for safe, efficient, and targeted mRNA delivery

Updated

Abstract

Essence

Lipid-modified lysine-histidine peptide carriers made mRNA delivery more efficient and, for the best physical composite, more lung-selective.

Evidence

Preclinical formulation experiments in in vitro and in vivo mRNA delivery assays found chemical lipidation improved transfection 5.3-fold and the top physical composite 43.9-fold versus pure peptide.

Caveat

The abstract reports delivery and biocompatibility assays, not treatment outcomes for lung-related diseases.
