Capturing the perfect pose

Lipid nanoparticles can be used to deliver nucleic acids for gene expression modulation—but getting them to target specific tissues is an ongoing challenge. In a new study by Dammes et al., a conformation-sensitive targeting strategy is used to achieve better selectivity in silencing gut-homing leuk...
