Machine learning-assisted design of immunomodulatory lipid nanoparticles for delivery of mRNA to repolarize hyperactivated microglia.

Drug delivery
Regulating inflammatory microglia presents a promising strategy for treating neurodegenerative and autoimmune disorders, yet effective therapeutic agents delivery to these cells remains a challenge. This study investigates modified lipid nanoparticle...

Optimizing lipid nanoparticles for fetal gene delivery in vitro, ex vivo, and aided with machine learning.

Journal of controlled release : official journal of the Controlled Release Society
There is a clinical need to develop lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) to deliver congenital therapies to the fetus during pregnancy. The aim of these therapies is to restore normal fetal development and prevent irreversible conditions after birth. As a firs...

Synergistic Polymer Blending Informs Efficient Terpolymer Design and Machine Learning Discerns Performance Trends for pDNA Delivery.

Bioconjugate chemistry
Cationic polymers offer an alternative to viral vectors in nucleic acid delivery. However, the development of polymer vehicles capable of high transfection efficiency and minimal toxicity has remained elusive, and continued exploration of the vast de...

Artificial Intelligence (AI)-Aided Structure Optimization for Enhanced Gene Delivery: The Effect of the Polymer Component Distribution (PCD).

ACS applied materials & interfaces
Gene therapy has emerged as a significant advancement in medicine in recent years. However, the development of effective gene delivery vectors, particularly polymer vectors, remains a significant challenge. Limited understanding of the internal struc...

Wet-dry-wet drug screen leads to the synthesis of TS1, a novel compound reversing lung fibrosis through inhibition of myofibroblast differentiation.

Cell death & disease
Therapies halting the progression of fibrosis are ineffective and limited. Activated myofibroblasts are emerging as important targets in the progression of fibrotic diseases. Previously, we performed a high-throughput screen on lung fibroblasts and s...

Optimizing Lipofectamine LTX Complex and G-418 Concentration for Improvement of Transfection Efficiency in Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells.

Archives of Razi Institute
Conventional cancer therapies, including surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy, are not tumor site-specific and have cytotoxic and harmful side effects for normal cells. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), due to their tumor-tropism migration property, ...
