"Nanoparticle Designs Illuminate Future of Advanced Drug Delivery Systems"

Researchers from the University of Pennsylvania, Brookhaven National Laboratory, and Waters Corporation have detailed the design variations of lipid nanoparticles, enhancing drug delivery systems for therapies like RNA and cancer treatments.

• The study published in Nature Biotechnology reveals that lipid nanoparticles vary significantly in shape and structure, challenging the assumption that all nanoparticles are uniform like a truck fleet.
• The research provides insights into solid lipid nanoparticle design, which can improve the efficacy of RNA therapies and other drug delivery systems.
• By utilizing advanced biophysics techniques, the collaboration between the University of Pennsylvania and Brookhaven National Laboratory offers new approaches to understanding nanoparticle behavior in drug delivery.
