LNP Delivery of Firefly Luciferase mRNA
2026-09-06
Yang et al. investigated how LNP surface charge and target-cell V-ATPase activity influence nucleic-acid delivery. The firefly reporter arm used Cy5-labelled, 5-moUTP mRNA in neutral or positively charged LNPs and measured luciferin-dependent bioluminescence in mice. Neutral LNPs produced the strongest functional liver signal, whereas positively charged LNPs generated functional signal mainly in the lung despite substantial liver accumulation.

D-Luciferin for CAR T Tumor Tracking
2026-09-05
D-Luciferin potassium salt supports longitudinal tumor cell tracking in reporter-labeled solid-tumor models, including workflows inspired by KRASG12V/HLA-A*02:01 CAR T research. Its water-compatible formulation also streamlines luciferase reporter assays and ATP-linked measurements when timing, controls, and substrate handling are standardized.

How Lipid Choice Shapes mRNA-LNP Potency
2026-08-25
A 2025 Journal of Controlled Release study shows that comparable particle size, polydispersity, surface charge, and encapsulation efficiency do not guarantee comparable mRNA-LNP potency. By testing ionizable and PEGylated lipids in matched formulations in HEK293 cells and mice, the authors demonstrate why lipid identity and biological context must be evaluated together.

LNP Bleb Structures Improve mRNA Transfection
2026-08-24
Cheng and colleagues showed that mRNA-rich bleb structures can be induced in lipid nanoparticles containing less active ionizable lipids by changing the acidic formulation buffer. The resulting improvement in transfection was observed in vitro and in vivo and was linked, at least partly, to better preservation of encapsulated mRNA rather than simply more efficient intracellular delivery.
