    GlossaryLipid Nanoparticles (LNPs)

    tiny, fat-based carriers used to deliver drugs into cells

    Lipid Nanoparticles (LNPs) are tiny, spherical particles made from lipids, which are fat-like molecules. They are used to deliver drugs, including genetic material like mRNA, directly into cells. This technology is crucial in modern medicine, such as in the development of mRNA vaccines for COVID-19, because it protects the therapeutic material and ensures it reaches the target cells effectively.
