Potential preeclampsia treatment uses LNPs to deliver mRNA to the placenta
“The new study from Swingle and her team [at the University of Pennsylvania] marks the first time scientists have successfully delivered mRNA to the placenta using an LNP. LNPs are tiny clusters of ionizable fats. They’re used to deliver therapeutic mRNA—most famously in the case of the COVID-19 vaccines—as well as gene therapies, small-molecule drugs, immunotherapies and more.” MORE
