Solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) are submicron colloidal carriers formed from physiological lipids that remain solid at ambient and body temperatures. They combine the biocompatibility and ...

Engineers at the University of Pennsylvania have developed a new type of lipid nanoparticle (LNP) that could one day serve as a universal immunotherapy for cancers that form solid tumors, including ...

Inside a solid tumor, T cells are like cars trying to drive with one foot on the brake and almost no fuel in the tank. These particles release the brake and refuel the T cells at the same time." ...

Encapsulating an active substance in a liposome or lipid nanoparticle can minimize cytotoxicity and increase blood circulation by bypassing the immune system. Several techniques can improve a drug's ...

LNPs are solid or semi-solid particles at room temperature. They are composed of a lipid core stabilized by surfactants or other agents. This lipid core provides a hydrophobic environment ideal for ...
