lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) are tiny particles, typically measuring between 20 to 200 nanometers, made from various lipids. They are designed to encapsulate and deliver therapeutic agents, such as nucleic acids (mRNA, siRNA), small Molecule Types, and proteins, to specific cells or tissues. LNPs are composed of a mix of lipids, including phospholipids, cholesterol, and ionizable lipids, which self-assemble to form structures that protect and transport the therapeutic payload.
