Lipid particles have been used in pharmaceutical developments for many years. LNPs are colloidal carriers that are submicron in size and have been developed to encapsulate pharmaceuticals while ...

The earliest iteration of LNPs was the development of liposomes in the 1960s, with the first liposome-based drug product, Doxil, receiving FDA approval in 1995. In the early 1990s, a second generation ...

Liposomes and lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) are versatile drug delivery systems that allow precise control over composition, morphology, and structure, tailoring these features to meet specific ...

Often diagnosed when surgery is no longer an option, pancreatic cancer is one of the most difficult cancers to treat and has ...

Thought LeadersMichael GirgisAssistant Professor at the Bioengineering departmentGeorge Mason University Get ready to explore the fascinating world of lipid nanoparticles in the latest episode of omg ...

A study from FAU has shown that lipid nanoparticles restructure their membrane significantly after being absorbed into a cell and ending up in an acidic environment. Vaccines and other medicines are ...

Penn Engineers have redesigned a key component of lipid nanoparticles (LNPs), the delivery vehicles behind mRNA vaccines, to steer the particles toward lymph nodes while reducing off-target delivery ...

Since the success of the COVID-19 vaccine, RNA therapies have been the object of increasing interest in the biotech world. These therapies work with your body to target the genetic root of diseases ...
