The present invention pertains to a flow path structure body for forming self-assembling molecular particles. The flow path structure body has a base body and a flow path structure provided to the interior thereof, the flow path structure having a first introduction channel 10 and a second introduction channel 20 that are independent of one another on the upstream side of the flow path structure, and the introduction channels merging at a merging site. The flow path structure has a dilution flow path 40 that is bent three-dimensionally toward the downstream side of the merging site. The dilution flow path 40 has two or more Y structural elements 50 that protrude out in the Y direction and one or more Z structural elements 60 that protrude out in the Z direction within the dilution flow path, and at least two adjacent Y structural elements protrude out alternately in the Y direction. The present invention pertains to a method of producing self-assembling molecular particles, whereby a self-assembling molecule-containing solution and a dilution medium are supplied to the flow path structure body to form self-assembling molecular particles that have encapsulated a substance to be encapsulated. The present invention provides: a method of producing self-assembling molecular nanoparticles that enables precise control of the particle size of self-assembling molecular nanoparticles that have encapsulated an anionic molecule or the like at a high encapsulation rate; and a flow path structure body used for production.

The present invention relates to a cationic lipid having one or more biodegradable groups located in a lipidic moiety (e.g., a hydrophobic chain) of the cationic lipid. These cationic lipids may be incorporated into a lipid particle for delivering an active agent, such as a nucleic acid. The invention also relates to lipid particles comprising a neutral lipid, a lipid capable of reducing aggregation, a cationic lipid of the present invention, and optionally, a sterol. The lipid particle may further include a therapeutic agent such as a nucleic acid.

Embodiments disclosed herein relates to ganglioside GM3-containing mixed lipids nanoparticles having an overall size between 60-100 nm, the making thereof and the uses. The nanoparticles selectively targeted to CD169+ expressing cells such as dendritic cells and macrophage. The nanoparticles are endocytosed by the CD169+ expressing cells.

The disclosure relates to polynucleotides comprising an open reading frame of linked nucleosides encoding human methylmalonyl-CoA mutase precursor, human methylmalonyl-CoA mutase (MCM) mature form, or functional fragments thereof. In some embodiments, the disclosure includes methods of treating methylmalonic acidemia in a subject in need thereof comprising administering an mRNA encoding an MCM polypeptide.

Disclosed herein are circular RNA s and transfer vehicles, along with related compositions and methods of treatment. The circular RNAs can comprise group I intron fragments, spacers, an IRES, duplex forming regions, and/or an expression sequence, thereby having the features of improved expression, functional stability, low immunogenicity, ease of manufacturing, and/or extended half-life compared to linear RNA. Pharmaceutical compositions comprising such circular RNAs and transfer vehicles are particularly suitable for efficient protein expression in immune cells in vivo. Also disclosed are precursor RNAs and materials useful in producing the precursor or circular RNAs, which have improved circularization efficiency and/or are compatible with effective circular RNA purification methods.

Provided herein are lipid compounds that can be used in combination with other lipid components, such as neutral lipids, cholesterol and polymer conjugated lipids, to form lipid nanoparticles for delivery of therapeutic agents (e.g., nucleic acid molecules) for therapeutic or prophylactic purposes, including vaccination. Also provided herein are lipid nanoparticle compositions comprising said lipid compounds.

Provided herein are liposomes comprising B-cell lymphoma (Bcl) protein inhibitors, compositions comprising such liposomes, and methods using such formulations for treating hyperproliferative disorders.
