Targeting DNA‐LNPs to Endothelial Cells Improves Expression Magnitude, Duration, and Specificity
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Attaching antibodies against endothelial cell surface proteins redirects the delivery and expression of DNA‐lipid nanoparticles to organs of interest. Our targeted nanoparticles enable organ‐selective DNA expression in the endothelium of the lungs, brain, or spleen, providing a therapeutic platform for dozens of endothelial‐centric diseases.
