Penn Engineers have discovered a novel means of directing lipid nanoparticles (LNPs), the revolutionary molecules that delivered the COVID-19 vaccines, to target specific tissues, presaging a new era ...
Researchers have developed a new lipid nanoparticle design that directs mRNA to the pancreas by exploiting the organ’s own filtration barrier, a strategy that sidesteps the liver-trapping problem that ...
Tiny fat bubbles carrying gene therapy have successfully repaired DNA in the lungs and liver of animals with alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency - a promising leap toward treating humans with this rare ...
Changing just one atom in a COVID-19 vaccine lipid redirects delivery from the liver to the spleen, improving tumor suppression in mice. The dominant ionizable lipids in approved vaccines attract ...
Lipid kinases are among the promising targets of new classes of drugs, due mainly to class I PI3Kα, which plays a crucial role in carcinogenesis and metastasis. This enzyme is hyperactive in 30-40% of ...
