Localized NF‐κB Inhibition Reduces Lipid Nanoparticle‐Associated Inflammation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) activate NF‐κB and provoke inflammation that limits therapeutic delivery. By encapsulating selective NF‐κB inhibitors within LNPs, localized suppression of inflammatory signaling is achieved without compromising mRNA expression.
