Lipid-Based Nanoparticles: Manufacturing and Characterization
In drug development many applications are found for lipid-based nanoparticles (Lb-NPs) as successful transporters for poorly water-soluble drugs and oligonucleotides in gene therapy. Major advantages of lipids are their high biocompatibility and biodegradability. In addition, advanced formulations using Lb-NP encapsulation of active ingredients can strongly contribute to targeted drug delivery in the body as well as stability and storage of the formulation. The most important current medical applications include cancer therapeutics and some of the current COVID-19 vaccines. Developm...
