University of Houston researchers are introducing salt-loaded lipid nanoparticles
for better delivery of vaccines and gene therapy.
Researchers at the University of Houston's College of Pharmacy have discovered an
unexpected simple strategy to improve the performance of mRNA vaccines and gene therapeutics:
adding salt. The findings, published in Small, address one of the biggest challenges facing modern gene medicine - getting fragile
therapeutic material to the right place inside cells.
