The most common side effects of mRNA vaccines like the COVID-19 shot are well known: soreness, mild fever, and general malaise. Those symptoms, which typically resolve within days, are the natural ...
Cardiovascular disease continues to be the leading cause of death worldwide. But advances in heart-failure therapeutics have stalled, largely due to the difficulty of delivering treatments at the ...
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 ...
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 ...
Computer illustration of a lipid nanoparticle mRNA vaccine. A cross-section of a lipid nanoparticle carrying mRNA (orange) of a virus, for example, Covid-19 or influenza, is shown entering a human ...
A review maps high throughput strategies that link automation, microfluidics, and barcoding into a unified pipeline, enabling faster, more predictive lipid nanoparticle development for genetic ...
Malvern Panalytical’s recent peer-reviewed publication, Tailoring Lipid Nanoparticle Dimensions Through Manufacturing Processes, published in RSC Pharmaceutics, features both the NanoSight Pro ...
Postdoctoral fellow and co-first author Dongyoon Kim demonstrates some of the equipment used to craft the new ionizable lipids. The most common side effects of mRNA vaccines like the COVID-19 shot are ...
Researchers hold models of the aromatic rings they added to lipid nanoparticles, which could reduce the dosage mRNA vaccines need to achieve immunity. Penn Engineers have redesigned a key component of ...
