Researchers have developed a novel platform that enables therapeutic antibodies to target proteins located inside cells, overcoming a significant limitation of current antibody-based treatments. This new system packages antibodies within lipid nanoparticles, which are already validated for clinical use, allowing them to be delivered directly into the cell's cytoplasm. Once inside, the antibodies can bind to intracellular proteins implicated in diseases like cancer, inflammation, and neurodegenerative disorders, potentially expanding the range of treatable conditions by repurposing existing antibody drugs.
