Lipid-based nanoparticles deliver mRNA to reverse the pathogenesis of lysosomal acid lipase deficiency in a preclinical model
2024-12-08
Abstract excerpt
Lysosomal acid lipase (LAL) is the only known enzyme that degrades cholesteryl esters (CEs) and triglycerides (TGs) in the lysosomes. LAL deficiency (LAL-D) results in hepatosplenomegaly with extensive accumulation of CEs and TGs, and can in the most severe cases be a life-threatening condition in early infancy. Using messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) for protein replacement is an innovative approach for the treat...
