TL;DR
This work advances chemical engineering strategies for RNA delivery by integrating materials design, molecular transport optimization and scalable nanoparticle synthesis, contributing to the broader development of biomolecular and polymer engineering solutions for therapeutic production and application.
This Perspective revisits cationic polymer-lipid nanoparticles not as historical precursors to ionizable lipid LNPs, but as a macromolecular materials space that can clarify and extend current RNA delivery design.
Lipid Nanoparticles (LNPs) have emerged as adaptable and effective delivery systems for RNA-based therapies, transforming contemporary medicine. This article covers the design, processes, and therapeutic potential of LNPs for RNA delivery. LNPs improve RNA encapsulation, stability, and targeted cellular delivery. Lipid...

RNA therapeutics offer considerable potential for cancer treatment. Their therapeutic application, however, remains limited by rapid degradation, inefficient cellular uptake, and restricted intracellular release. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are cell-derived membrane vesicles that have been exploited as promising vehic...

This study develops a class of ionizable cholesterol derivatives by conjugating biocompatible dimethylated amino acids to cholesterol through a cleavable linker, thereby integrating the structural role of cholesterol and the pH‐responsive ionization of ions into a single molecule.
This review examines how molecular weight, polymer composition, cationic group chemistry and density, pKa, and polymer topology influence complexation efficiency with nucleic acid, polymer to nucleic acid ratio (N/P), polyplex stability, cellular uptake, endosomal escape, cytotoxicity, and transfection efficiency.
