As an advanced nucleic acid therapeutical modality, mRNA can express any type of protein in principle and thus holds great potential to prevent and treat various diseases. Despite the success in COVID-19 mRNA vaccines, direct local delivery of mRNA into the lung by inhalation would greatly reinforce the treatment of pulmonary pathogens and diseases. Herein, we developed lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) from degradable ionizable glycerolipids for potent pulmonary mRNA delivery via nebulization.

Eosinophilic oesophagitis (EoE) is a chronic and progressive immune-mediated condition, typically affecting young atopic male adults and potentially leads to organ dysfunction and fibrosis. The clinical spectrum widely varies -from non-troublesome dysphagia to food impaction- and hence the rate of misdiagnosis and diagnostic delay are high, especially when presenting with minor symptoms, such as heartburn and acid regurgitation. There have been several major therapeutic breakthroughs for the management of EoE in recent years.

Background: Corticosteroids are used in managing Chronic Rhinosinusitis (CRS) through several formulations, including oral steroids and nasal sprays. More recently, incorporating concentrated budesonide respules into high-volume saline irrigations has been proposed to enhance the penetration of topical steroids into the paranasal sinuses. We aim to evaluate the safety and efficacy of budesonide nasal irrigation (BNI) in managing CRS.

Background: IgA nephropathy (IgAN), an immune-mediated kidney disease, is particularly prevalent among individuals of East Asian ancestry. Nefecon is a novel, oral, targeted-release budesonide formulation designed to inhibit galactose-deficient IgA1 formation underlying IgAN pathophysiology. We present findings in patients with IgAN from mainland China participating in the 2-year, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, phase 3 NefIgArd trial of nefecon.

We present the first case of complete remission of nephrotic syndrome in a 55-year-old man with MCD-IgAN after the administration of targeted-release formulation of budesonide (TRF-budesonide). The patient's treatment with TRF-budesonide, even though methylprednisolone, mycophenolate mofetil, and cyclophosphamide had been previously tried, is of particular importance because it not only suggests that TRF-budesonide appears to be a promising treatment for MCD-IgAN but may also provide a new therapeutic option for patients with podocytopathies.
