1. When structural sophistication becomes a translational barrier: the complexity trap in DNA nanocarrier design

Tunc Cu, Saha Sk, Panda Ss, Mori S, Culha M

DNA nanotechnology has emerged as a highly programmable platform in nanomedicine, enabling the fabrication of precise nanoscale architectures for drug delivery, biosensing, gene regulation, immunotherapy, and theranostics. DNA-based nanocarriers offer distinctive advantages, including structural programmability…

2. Rivastigmine and Emerging Nanotechnological Strategies for Targeted Delivery: A Comprehensive Review

Babar E, Ur Rehman A, Gul P, Arshad Ms, Shah Ba, Ahmed N

Alzheimer's disease affects millions of people globally; it is an irreversible and incurable disease, characterized by gradual cognitive decline as well as pathophysiological changes including the presence of senile plaques and neurofibrillary tangles. There are several risk factors associated with Alzheimer's…

3. Oncolytic Virus-like Nanoparticle Targets the Golgi Apparatus via Sphingomyelin

He L, Yang L, Ren M, Wang J, Zhao W, Yang C, Et Al.

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…

4. Lipid Nanoparticle Surface Engineering with Heparosan Polysaccharides Enhances mRNA Efficacy via Reduced Endosomal Retention

He Y, Wang L, Williams Ap, Valerio Ti, Sun Y, Bowman J, Et Al.

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…

5. Boosting Ligand-Mediated Hepatic mRNA Delivery and Gene Editing Through Coordinated Pairing of Polyethylene Glycol-Modified Lipids

Abbasi S, Bockley Km, Dohr J, Chen E, Carter Dm, Berlinicke Ca, Et Al.

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…

6. The role of glycocalyx-protein corona interactions in the cell type-specific uptake of mRNA nanocarriers

Jacobs W, De Zwaan K, Rutten L, Van Wessel T, Boltje Tj, Cano Lq, Et Al.

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…
