LNPs used to deliver modified mRNA. (a) LNPs are fat droplets composed of a mixture of lipids and cholesterol. They can be designed to target specific cells by functionalizing them with targeting antibodies. (b) Once inside the cell, the LNPs enter the endosome where they are broken apart and the mRNA escapes into the cytosol where it is translated into functional protein.
