Solving LNP's Liver Problem: Why Targeting Is the Next Frontier in RNA Delivery

Lipid nanoparticles have powered the RNA medicine revolution, but their default tendency to accumulate in the liver limits use beyond hepatic disease.

Solving LNP's Liver Problem: Why Targeting Is the Next Frontier in RNA Delivery

Isogenica's latest short video explains why targeted LNPs are now a major focus for oncology, neurology and immune applications — and how surface-attached targeting moieties could change that.

RNA medicine's progress has run in parallel with advances in lipid nanoparticle (LNP) delivery. But current LNP systems share a common limitation: they naturally home to the liver. That's useful for liver-targeted therapies, but a significant obstacle for oncology, neurological disease and immune modulation, where the payload needs to reach cells elsewhere in the body.

In this short video, Isogenica — The VHH Company — sets out why precision targeting has become one of the field's defining questions, and outlines the core strategy being explored: attaching a targeting moiety to the LNP surface to direct it towards specific cell types or tissues.
