"We've never understood how the structure of one key component of the LNP, the ionizable lipid, determines the ultimate destination of LNPs to organs beyond the liver," says Michael J. Mitchell, Associate Professor in Bioengineering.
In a paper published in Nature Nanotechnology, Mitchell's group describes how subtle adjustments to the chemical structure of the ionizable lipid, a key component of the LNP, allows for tissue-specific delivery, in particular to the liver, lungs and spleen.
