<p>We optimized lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) as a robust delivery system to transport larger therapeutic cargo, such as Prime Editing mRNA, to lung epithelial cells via inhalation. LNPs were chosen over other delivery systems, like Adeno-associated viruses (AAVs), due to their superior cargo capacity and reduced immunogenicity. Our goal is to create a lung-specific LNP, named AirBuddy, capable of efficiently delivering of our Prime Editing components, referred to as PrimeGuide, to lung tissues through inhalation. This approach is designed to advance precision medicine by ensuring targeted delivery with minimal off-target effects.</p>
