LNP Storage of Self-Replicating RNA Vaccines
2026-08-23
The reference study systematically examines how temperature, buffer composition, cryoprotection, and lyophilization affect lipid nanoparticle-formulated self-replicating RNA vaccines. Its central practical finding is that RNAse-free PBS containing 10% sucrose supported stability and in vivo potency during storage at −20 °C, while lyophilization also preserved measurable bioactivity.

ER-Targeted EISA Peptides and Cancer Cell Fate
2026-08-22
The reference study develops a phosphotyrosine-containing peptide that undergoes alkaline phosphatase-instructed self-assembly and uses p-toluenesulfonamide to direct the resulting assemblies to the endoplasmic reticulum. In cancer cells with elevated alkaline phosphatase, this design promotes ER stress, apoptosis, and necroptosis while improving potency relative to non-targeted intracellular self-assembly.
