It's NOT just about the drug! It's about how it GETS to where it NEEDS to go in your BODY... That's where delivery systems come in. And right now, there's a big debate in the medical world. While there are other delivery methods, these two categories stand at the TOP tier: 1️⃣ Viral Vectors (like #AAVs and #LVs) 2️⃣ Lipid Nanoparticles (#LNPs) Let’s break down the key features: 🟣 𝙇𝙞𝙥𝙞𝙙 𝙉𝙖𝙣𝙤𝙥𝙖𝙧𝙩𝙞𝙘𝙡𝙚𝙨 (𝙇𝙉𝙋𝙨) • 𝗩𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗲: Deliver DNA, RNA, or proteins • 𝗟𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗲𝗿 𝗽𝗮𝘆𝗹𝗼𝗮𝗱: Carry bigger genes and complex cargos • 𝗥𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗼𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗶𝘁𝘆: Allows for repeated dosing • 𝗦𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲: Proven in large-scale manufacturing (e.g., COVID-19 vaccines) • 𝗖𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗶𝘇𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲: Can be targeted to specific organs using SORT lipids • 𝗟𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗵𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆: Evolved from liposomes, first discovered in 1965 🟣 𝙑𝙞𝙧𝙖𝙡 𝙑𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙤𝙧𝙨 (𝘼𝘼𝙑𝙨 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙇𝙑𝙨) • 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗲 𝘁𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴: Especially effective for neurological conditions • 𝗟𝗼𝗻𝗴-𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗺 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻: Often requires just one dose • 𝗘𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗵𝗲𝗱 𝘂𝘀𝗲: In clinical applications since the 1990s. The first use of AAV as a gene delivery vehicle 𝙞𝙣 𝙫𝙞𝙩𝙧𝙤 was in 1984. However, they come with limitations: ❌ Immune response risks ❌ Restricted payload size ❌ **Potential off-target effects at high doses ‐------------------------- Recent studies show LNPs outperforming other methods in mRNA-based #CAR_T cell engineering. This suggests that LNPs could play a significant role in future cell therapies. 💰Cost comparisons show LNPs can be more economical... For example, 🔬 Screening 35 novel LNPs: • Advanced in vitro methods: $325,000 and 18 months • Traditional non-human primate studies: A whopping $5,000,000+ and 5 years! ✅ That's a 93% cost reduction and 3.3x faster development! The choice between LNPs and viral vectors often depends on specific therapeutic needs. With advancements like SORT lipids, LNPs are becoming increasingly relevant for targeted delivery. What do you think? Are LNPs the future of drug delivery, or do viral vectors still have the edge?
