Reperfusion therapy has transformed acute ischemic stroke care, yet large-vessel recanalization does not ensure capillary reperfusion, preservation of the blood-brain barrier and neurovascular unit (BBB/NVU), or durable neurological recovery. Nanomedicine is still commonly judged by BBB crossing or…

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) represents a critical global health threat, surpassing the pace of discovery and clinical development of new antimicrobial agents. Therefore, innovative therapeutic strategies are urgently needed to enhance antibiotic efficacy, overcome multidrug-resistant infections, and limit…

The Golgi apparatus (GA) has emerged as a promising target for cancer therapy. Commonly, therapeutics are guided to the GA by recognizing specific receptors on the GA membrane. However, the low and heterogeneous expression of these receptors often results in suboptimal targeting efficiency. Here, we present an…

Cancer remains a major global health challenge despite significant advances in diagnosis and treatment. Conventional therapies, including chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and surgery, are frequently constrained by non-specific drug distribution, systemic toxicity, multidrug resistance (MDR), and limitations in early tumor…

Breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed malignancy worldwide and remains a major cause of cancer-related mortality among women. Despite advances in screening, molecular classification, and systemic therapies, treatment of advanced and metastatic disease remains challenging because of tumor heterogeneity…

In this study, we developed a library of mRNA lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) containing clinically used ionizable lipids. We surface-modified these nanoparticles with heparosan polysaccharides and systematically compared their performance with conventional poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)-modified formulations. Our heparosan…

Active targeting can improve the efficacy of mRNA therapeutics, but ligand-mediated targeting with lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) remains challenging. Here, we studied the impact of polyethylene glycol (PEG)-lipid composition and triantennary N-acetylgalactosamine (TriGalNAc)-modification on the hepatic delivery…

Non-viral nanocarriers for oligonucleotide delivery have enormous therapeutic potential, but the factors determining cell type-specific uptake remain incompletely understood. One major cell surface component that delivery vectors encounter is the glycocalyx. While membrane glycans are established interactors for many…

T cells are attractive targets for immunotherapy, cancer, HIV, autoimmunity, and inflammation, but nanoparticle delivery to T cells remains a major technological challenge due to their nonphagocytic nature and multiple physiological barriers. There is a need for rational design principles for in vivo T cell-targeting…

Nanoparticles (NPs) are increasingly used in consumer goods, electronics, and pharmaceuticals, but their beneficial and/or deleterious effects ultimately arise from interactions at the cellular and subcellular level. While many NPs require safe entry into cells for therapeutic efficacy, efficient and controlled…

The immune system can recognise and kill pre-cancer and cancer cells, but surviving tumour cells learn to escape immune surveillance after immunoselection. Cancer immunotherapy aims to overcome these escape mechanisms. Nanomedicine offers tools—nanodiagnostics and nanobiopharmaceuticals—to deliver antigens…
