Polyglycerol‐Based Lipids: A Next‐Generation Alternative to PEG in Lipid Nanoparticles for Advanced Drug Delivery Systems

open access: yesMacromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
Linear polyglycerol is proposed as a PEG‐alternative in mRNA‐loaded lipid nanoparticles to limit activation of anti‐PEG antibodies and reduce immunogenicity. Resulting nanoparticles may provide similar gene delivery capabilities, while preventing binding of anti‐PEG antibodies compared to PEGylated counterparts.
