Abstract excerpt
The novel class of compounds represented by lipid nanoparticle (LNP)-encapsulated siRNA formulations has an enormous potential to target disease, notably of the liver. Endocytosis of LNPs is believed to be mediated by APOE, an important serum protein of lipoprotein homeostasis. APOE polymorphisms affect binding to hepatic receptors and have been associated with development of specific disease. Here, the role of...
