  • Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) cause acute inflammation after administration, known as LAI, which limits their use for nucleic acid delivery.
  • Inhibiting NF-κB, a key inflammation mediator, is promising for reducing LAI, but systemic inhibition risks immunosuppression, requiring localized approaches.
  • Researchers screened NF-κB inhibitors that load into LNPs, reduce inflammation in vitro and in vivo, and maintain mRNA cargo expression in target tissues.
  • Co-formulating NF-κB inhibitors with nucleic acids in LNPs enables localized immunomodulation, improving safety for inflammatory or high-risk patients.
