Machine learning decodes lipid nanoparticle targeting for RNA delivery

Researchers have developed an interpretable machine learning framework to predict and guide the extrahepatic targeting of lipid nanoparticles (LNPs). By analyzing a dataset of 476 LNP formulations, the study identified key molecular design rules for RNA delivery beyond the liver. The framework, utilizing XGBoost, random forest, and logistic regression models, achieved high predictive accuracy and revealed that ionizable lipid descriptors, along with formulation composition, are crucial for controlling LNP biodistribution.
