The present disclosure provides compositions which shown preferential targeting or delivery of a nucleic acid composition to a particular organ. In some embodiments, the composition comprises a steroid or sterol, an ionizable cationic lipid, a phospholipid, a PEG lipid, and a permanently cationic lipid which may be used to deliver a nucleic acid.

Embodiments of the present application relate to N-acetylgalactosamine-conjugated nucleosides. In particular, the N-acetylgalactosamine is installed on the nucleobase of the nucleosides through a wide variety of linkers. Methods of making N-acetylgalactosamine-conjugated nucleosides are also disclosed herein. N-acetylgalactosamine is a well-defined liver-targeted moiety and N-acetylgalactosamine-conjugated nucleosides may be used in the preparation of targeted delivery of oligonucleotide-based therapeutics.

Provided is an application of an amino acid as a vehicle for delivery of a nucleic acid into the nervous system. By local injection, preferably, combined with means of stereotactic injection, immunofluorescence staining, confocal microscopy, etc., the single-stranded oligonucleotides are efficiently delivered into brain cells, and the plasmid vectors are also delivered into astrocytes in mouse brain.

The present disclosure provides one or more amino lipids such as an amino lipids containing a sulfonic acid or sulfonic acid derivative of the formulas: ##STR00001##
wherein the variables are as defined herein. These amino lipids may be used in compositions with one or more helper lipids and a nucleic acid therapeutic agent. These compositions may be used to treat a disease or disorder such as cancer, cystic fibrosis, or other genetic diseases.

The present invention relates to vectors and compositions for the treatment of glycogen storage disease III.

Disclosed herein are compositions and methods related to megakaryocyte-derived extracellular vesicles derived from human pluripotent stem cells, where the megakaryocyte-derived extracellular vesicles may be utilized for drug delivery and treating various diseases.

The disclosure features novel lipids and compositions involving the same. Nanoparticle compositions include a novel lipid as well as additional lipids such as phospholipids, structural lipids, and PEG lipids. Nanoparticle compositions further including therapeutic and/or prophylactics such as RNA are useful in the delivery of therapeutic and/or prophylactics to mammalian cells or organs to, for example, regulate polypeptide, protein, or gene expression.

Provided herein are compounds of Formula (I), and salts thereof, wherein each instance of R.sup.L is independently optionally substituted C.sub.6-C.sub.40 alkenyl. Further provided are compositions comprising a compound of Formula (I) and an agent. Further provided are methods and kits using the compositions for delivering an agent to a subject or cell and for treating and/or preventing a range of diseases. Further provided are methods of preparing compounds of Formula (I) and precursors thereof. ##STR00001##
