Abstract: A method of producing lipid-encapsulated RNA nanoparticles includes flowing an aqueous solution comprising an RNA through a 1st tube having a first inner diameter (ID); the RNA comprises from about 6,000 to about 13,000 nucleotides; flowing an ethanol solution comprising lipids through a 2nd tube having a second inner diameter (ID), at a flow rate of about 0.2 to about 1 times relative to the aqueous solution through the 1st tube, the lipids comprise a cationic lipid; and mixing the ethanol solution with the aqueous solution; the first ID and second ID and flow rates through the 1st tube and 2nd tube are selected to produce a shear force sufficiently low to preserve the integrity of the RNA; the mixing produces an output solution flowing in the 1st tube comprising a turbulent flow of the RNA and the lipids in between about ethanol, the lipid-encapsulated RNA nanoparticles having a bilayer structure.

Abstract: Provided herein are systems and methods of associating stimuli with conditions of users. A computing system may identify, in response to presenting a first stimulus to a user, a relevance value of the first stimulus indicative of a relevance of the first stimulus with a condition of the user. The computing system may classify, responsive to the relevance value satisfying a threshold, the first stimulus as having a non-neutral reaction type associated with the condition to the user. The computing system may store, in one or more data structures, an association between the user and the first stimulus classified as having the non-neutral reaction type for presenting in a therapy session to address the condition of the user. The computing system may provide instructions for presenting the first stimulus in the therapy session to address the condition of the user.
