The transfection potency of lipid nanoparticle (LNP) mRNA systems is critically dependent on the ionizable cationic component. LNP composed optimized lipids often display distinctive mRNA-rich "bleb" structures. Here, it shown that such structures can also be induced for LNPs containing nominally less active by formulating them in presence high concentrations pH 4 buffers as sodium citrate, leading to improved potencies both vitro and vivo. Induction bleb structure type buffer employed, with...

Lipid nanoparticle (LNP) formulations are a proven method for the delivery of nucleic acids gene therapy as exemplified by worldwide rollout LNP-based RNAi therapeutics and mRNA vaccines. However, targeting specific tissues or cells is still major challenge. After LNP administration, LNPs interact with biological fluids (i.e., blood), components which adsorb onto surface forming layer biomolecules termed “biomolecular corona (BMC)” affects stability, biodistribution, tissue tropism. The...

Abstract Clinical deployment of oligonucleotides requires delivery technologies that improve stability, target tissue accumulation and cellular internalization. Exosomes show potential as ideal vehicles. However, an affordable generalizable system for efficient loading on exosomes remain lacking. Here, we identified Exosomal Anchor DNA Aptamer (EAA) via SELEX against immobilized with our proprietary CP05 peptides. EAA shows high binding affinity to different enables nucleic acid drugs...

Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) have proven to be promising delivery vehicles for RNA-based vaccines and therapeutics, particularly in LNP formulations containing ionizable cationic lipids that undergo protonation/deprotonation response buffer pH changes. These are typically formulated using a rapid mixing technique at low pH, followed by return physiological triggers LNP-LNP fusion. A detailed understanding of these dynamic processes is crucial optimize the overall performance efficiency LNPs....

There are many opportunities to use macromolecules, such as peptides and oligonucleotides, for intracellular applications. Despite this, general methods delivering these molecules the cytosol in a safe efficient manner not available. Efforts develop variety of drug delivery systems viral vectors, lipoplexes, nanoparticles, amphiphilic have been made, but various challenges efficiency, toxicity, controllability remain. A central challenge is ability selectively perturb, destroy, membrane...

Nucleic acid therapeutics represent a major advance toward treating diseases at their root cause. However, nucleic acids are prone to degradation by serum endonucleases, clearance through the immune system, and rapid in complex medium. To overcome these barriers, frequently include chemical modifications improve stability or decrease responses. Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) have enabled dramatic reduction dose required achieve therapeutic effect protecting improving intracellular delivery. It...

Ribavirin and lamivudine are representatives of antiviral drugs that widely used to treat viral infections, especially chronic liver disease. To compare binding mechanism behavior with human serum albumin ( HSA ), we performed fluorescence spectroscopy X‐ray crystallography investigate the interactions ribavirin . Fluorescence showed inhibit affinity each other. Our results further demonstrated lamivdudine interaction could be affected by presence other compounds, including non‐steroidal...

Periodontal ligament mesenchymal stem cells (PDLSCs) are a promising cell resource for cell-based regenerative medicine in dentistry, but they inevitably acquire senescent phenotype after prolonged vitro expansion. The key regulators of PDLSCs during replicative senescence remain unclear. Here, we sought to elucidate the role metabolomic changes determining cellular PDLSCs. were cultured passages 4, 10 and 20. phenotypes detected, metabolomics analysis was performed.
