Why are Lipid Nanoparticles Crucial for mRNA Delivery?
Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) are critical because they provide a stable and biocompatible means of transporting mRNA across cellular membranes. These nanoparticles are designed to fuse with cell membranes, releasing the mRNA into the cytoplasm where it can be translated into the desired protein. LNPs also help to avoid the immune system's detection, reducing the chances of an adverse reaction.
