Excited to share our study on AI-validated brain targeted lipid nanoparticles for selective mRNA delivery to neurons!🗝️🧠 Privileged to lead this work with @MorSela98 and Haim Kadosh , guided by @AviSchroeder, and supported by outstanding collaborators.
Brain-targeting paper! 🧠 We combined AI in the design of lipid nanoparticles (LNPs), decorated with biologically active small molecules on their surface, to deliver mRNA across the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and target the neurons. Wow! Team effort!!! pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.102…

Thank you @alkabanov for your unwavering support in young scientists and in Israel. Your presence was invaluable!
Today, I reached a key point in my tour: speaking at the 4th Young Israeli CRS meeting in @TelAvivUni. Being in Israel now holds special meaning for me. After the Hamas attack, I felt compelled to support Israel and speak against antisemitism. Meeting Israeli scientists and students in Bologna @CRSScience meeting made me realize they need support, especially under the strain of conflict. I'm grateful to share the beauty of science here. #SupportIsrael #ScienceForPeace @RSFLab @AviSchroeder @ZingerAssaf @LuxenhoferLab @DaddyOxazoline @alyssa_holden_ @KoreaCRS @CRS_YSC
