Sugar parts play important roles in recognizing molecules on the cell membranes. We successfully produced sugar-type micellar surfactants, lactonoalkylamide (LacCn), for the first time. Spherical vesicles, three-component hybrid liposomes, were obtained after the sonication of the mixture of L-alpha-dimyristoyl-phosphatidylcholine (DMPC), Tween 20 and LacCn (DMPC:Tween 20:LacCn=65:7:28). It is noteworthy that high inhibitory effects of the three-component hybrid liposomes composed of DMPC, Tween 20, and LacCn (DMPC:Tween 20:LacCn=65:7:28) on the growth of glioma (U251) and lung adenocarcinoma (RERF-LC-OK) cells were attained in vitro without any drug, although no significant inhibitory effects of any individual component (DMPC, Tween 20, LacCn) or the two-component hybrid liposomes of DMPC and Tween 20 on the growth of tumor cells examined were obtained.

Comparison of RT-qPCR With Branched DNA to Quantify a Lipid Nanoparticle-Encapsulated mRNA Therapeutic in Serum and Liver Tissue Samples From Nonclinical PK Studies.

While the branched DNA (bDNA) assay is an established bioanalytical method for measurement of lipid nanoparticle (LNP)-encapsulated messenger RNA (mRNA) pharmacokinetic parameters, reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) has been considered as an alternative platform. RT-qPCR and bDNA platforms were compared for sensitivity, specificity, correlation, and overall assay performance using serum and tissue samples from 2 nonclinical mouse studies of a therapeutic mRNA candidate, LNP-PAH-mRNA, which encodes for human phenylalanine hydroxylase enzyme. Pharmacokinetic parameter noncompartmental analysis was completed using Phoenix WinNonlin.

Exosomes are natural membrane-enclosed nanovesicles (30-150 nm) involved in cell-cell communication. Recently, they have garnered considerable interest as nanocarriers for the controlled transfer of therapeutic agents to cells. Here, exosomes were derived from bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells using three different isolation methods.

Introduction: are the most common cause of food poisoning, which manifests itself in diarrhoea of varying severity. Additionally, because of the increasing number of people with immune deficiencies, more frequent serious complications of infections are being observed. The main source of infection is the consumption of contaminated poultry meat, which is a consequence of the insufficiency of current hygiene and biosecurity to control or eliminate it from the poultry food chain.

mRNA-based vaccines against the COVID-19 pandemic have propelled the use of nucleic acids for drug delivery. Conventional lipid-based carriers, such as liposomes and nanolipogels, effectively encapsulate and deliver RNA but are hindered by issues such as premature burst release and immunogenicity. To address these challenges, cell membrane-coated nanoparticles offer a promising alternative.

Article Synopsis
- The interaction between tumor cells and immune cells contributes to the aggressive nature of glioblastoma (GBM), and targeting M2 macrophages can help combat this.
- The development of a nanoparticle (NP-M-M2pep) that effectively penetrates the blood-brain barrier and targets M2 microglia has shown promise in reducing GBM progression.
- This approach reprograms M2 microglia into M1 type, enhancing immune response and altering the tumor microenvironment towards a more favorable state for fighting the tumor.
