    Ionizable Lipid Nanoparticles for Therapeutic Base Editing of Congenital Brain Disease

    The authors screened a diverse library of ionizable lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) via intracerebroventricular injection in both fetal and neonatal mice and identified an LNP formulation with greater functional mRNA delivery in the perinatal brain than an FDA-approved industry standard LNP.
