Due to Covid-19, mRNA is a buzzword not only in scientific circles but also worldwide. The success story of mRNA vaccines relies on lipids, critical components enabling mRNA therapies to reach the cell. Learn more here: https://bit.ly/3RcM1oL

20/03/2023

Tiny balls of fat called lipids are powerful: they deliver mRNA molecules to the cell. Once there, a protein is produced with the help of the mRNA. This allows the body to learn, so it’s able to protect itself. Curious about our contribution? https://bit.ly/3RcM1oL

Find out how lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) underpin the success of Covid-19 mRNA vaccines.
