The Power of Lipids: Enhancing Drug Delivery with Nanoparticles

Roots Analysis

Gene Therapies: LNPs have the ability to effectively deliver nucleic acids, including small interfering RNA (siRNA), messenger RNA (mRNA), and plasmid DNA to the target cells. The imaging agents can be incorporated into the LNP along with therapeutic agent, allowing for real-time monitoring of drug delivery and distribution.

Covid-19 vaccine success bolsters nanoparticle drug delivery research

Pharmaceutical Technology

Since then, the field of nanomedicine has steadily progressed to reach high points such as the successful use of nanotechnology to deliver messenger RNA (mRNA)-based Covid-19 vaccines. Langer, now a David H. However, after a period of slow movement in the field, the FDA approved the first nanodrug, Doxil, for Kaposi sarcoma in 1995. “We
