Research published today in Nature Nanotechnology by Niren Murthy’s lab presents a new acid-degradable linker that rapidly hydrolyzes in endosomes but is stable in the blood. This development could significantly increase the efficiency of delivering mRNA through lipid nanoparticles, critical for delivering mRNA-based therapies to cells.

Recent news from Berkeley Bioengineering
New recyclable adhesives can be easily adapted for medical, consumer and industrial applications
Researchers in Professor Messersmith’s lab have created a family of polymers from a new, stabilized alpha-lipoic acid, which could lead to versatile, high-performance and environmentally friendly recyclable adhesives.
Revealing the Mysteries Within Microbial Genomes
Adam Arkin’s lab has developed a new technique called, barcoded overexpression bacterial shotgun library sequencing (Boba-seq), that will make it much easier for researchers to discover the traits or activities encoded by genes of unknown function in microbes.
