+ <H4 text="What are LNPs" id="text" />
+ <p>Lipid nanoparticles are small, spherical structures made of lipids that serve as delivery vehicles for therapeutic molecules, such as RNA, DNA, or drugs. They protect their cargo from degradation, enhance cellular uptake, and are widely used in mRNA vaccines and gene therapy due to their efficiency and biocompatibility.</p>
<H4 text="LNPs and their impact on modern medicine" id="text" />
<p>LNPs are an advanced delivery system designed to transport therapeutic molecules like RNA, DNA or proteins into the cells. These nanoparticles are tiny spheres made of lipids that form a protective shell around the cargo. The size of LNPs typically ranges from 50 to 200 nm in diameter, making them incredibly small - about 1,000 times thinner than a human hair <SupScrollLink label="1"/> . </p>
<p>Overall, LNPs represent a significant advancement in drug delivery technology. LNPs offer exceptionally high drug-loading capacities, making them highly effective for delivering substantial amounts of therapeutic agents in a single dose. Their advanced design allows for the encapsulation of a large payload, which enhances the efficacy of treatments and reduces the frequency of administration <SupScrollLink label="3"/> . By encapsulating and protecting therapeutic agents like mRNA, LNPs enhance the stability, targeted delivery, and effectiveness of treatments. Their ability to be tailored for specific delivery needs, such as targeting particular organs or overcoming physiological barriers, makes them a powerful tool in modern medicine <SupScrollLink label="9"/> .</p>
