Industrial Perspective on the Manufacturing of Lipid Nanoparticles for Nucleic Acid Delivery.
Review in Pharmaceutics, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) have emerged as a groundbreaking delivery platform, revolutionizing the development of nucleic acid-based medicines for gene delivery and gene therapy. This review provides an insightful industrial perspective on the production process of LNPs, focusing on cutting-edge manufacturing equipment, downstream processing and the crucial transition from laboratory to large scale. While LNP production in the discovery phase relies on a small scale (µL to mL) for screening various LNP formulation candidates, transferring to preclinical (up to hundreds of mL) and clinical/commercial scales (up to liters) requires a robust and reproducible manufacturing process. Thus, mixing technologies throughout these scales must be carefully selected and require precision, scalability and high reproducibility to meet the target quality of the LNP drug product. Key mixing technologies in mRNA-LNP production primarily include microfluidic systems and impinging jet mixers (IJMs). In this review, we discuss key critical process parameters (CPPs) in LNP preparation, including flow rate ratio (FRR) or total flow rate (TFR), in relation to associated critical quality attributes (CQAs) across multiple manufacturing scales. We further assess the impact of downstream processing, specifically tangential flow filtration (TFF), on the formulation's CQAs. In particular, the review highlights the importance of maintaining CQAs along each step of the process and emphasizes the role of robust analytical methods in ensuring product quality and safety. Additionally, we touch on current challenges associated with these advanced delivery vehicles, such as their long-term stability, and introduce the readership to innovative stabilization strategies aimed to extent LNP shelf-life.
