Stability in mRNA-LNP Formulations

For messenger RNA (mRNA) therapeutics and vaccines formulated as lipid nanoparticles (LNPs), the excipients receiving the most attention are the encapsulating lipids. While these compounds are crucial to the stability and delivery of mRNA-LNPs, the non-lipid excipients also play crucial roles in the function of final drug products. They impact the morphology and stability of these delivery systems, which in turn affects in vivo performance and the overall usefulness of mRNA drugs developed using nanoparticle technology.
