Abstract

Ionizable lipid nanoparticles (iLNPs) enable precise delivery of nucleic acids but face challenges in clinical translation.

  • Batch-to-batch variability and complex lipid-RNA interactions hinder iLNP development.
  • Advanced microfluidic technologies provide precise control over iLNP fabrication.
  • Different mixing technologies, such as hydrodynamic flow focusing and staggered herringbone mixers, influence particle size, polydispersity index, and encapsulation efficiency.
  • Integrating design-of-experiments methodologies and computational fluid dynamics modeling supports predictive formulation design.
  • Machine learning-assisted optimization may enhance reproducibility and scalability in iLNP production.
