What is the Role of Lipid Nanoparticles in mRNA Vaccines?
Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) are critical for the delivery of mRNA vaccines. They protect the mRNA from degradation and facilitate its entry into cells. The process of encapsulating mRNA in LNPs can also be considered a form of catalysis, as it involves chemical reactions and the precise assembly of materials. The efficiency of this encapsulation process directly affects the vaccine's efficacy.
