In this behind-the-paper interview, part of our ‘In Focus’ feature on functional nanomaterials in cancer therapy, to coincide with the recently published Nanomedicine Special Focus Issue on this topic ...

Lipid nanoparticle formulation has increased over the past two decades. LNPs have proven to be effective nano-based delivery vehicles for cytotoxic chemotherapeutic drugs, nucleic acid therapies and ...

In drug development many applications are found for lipid-based nanoparticles (Lb-NPs) as successful transporters for poorly water-soluble drugs and oligonucleotides in gene therapy. Major advantages ...

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 ...

Pharmaceutical scientists and biologists are teaming up to make the next generation of lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) for drug delivery. Combining structural biology with cutting edge pharmaceutical ...

As I have written about previously, the IP and competitive landscape for mRNA and lipid nanoparticles is complex. Pioneers, mid-stage, and new market entrants must take careful consideration of this ...

The latest short science news items from C&EN. A complicated sequence of events follows once an RNA drug is injected into the body. After the lipid-packaged RNA arrives at a cell, it pushes through ...

Johns Hopkins researchers have identified minuscule particles that supercharge therapeutic cancer vaccines, which train the immune system to attack tumors. These new lipid nanoparticles—tiny ...

Social media users have claimed the presence of lipid nanoparticles in a COVID-19 vaccine means it could contain small robots or computers. This is false - these nanoparticles are tiny lipid droplets ...

Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) and liposomes are lipid-based drug carriers that differ in internal formation. Liposomes have a phospholipid membrane surrounding an aqueous inner core mimicking natural ...
