  • Patent number: 12312293
    Abstract: The disclosure features novel lipids and compositions involving the same. Lipid nanoparticles (e.g., empty LNPs or loaded LNPs) include a novel lipid as well as additional lipids such as phospholipids, structural lipids, and PEG lipids. Lipid nanoparticles (e.g., empty LNPs or loaded LNPs) further including therapeutic and/or prophylactics such as RNA are useful in the delivery of therapeutic and/or prophylactics to mammalian cells or organs to, for example, regulate polypeptide, protein, or gene expression.

  • Publication number: 20250144506
    Abstract: An electronic gaming machine and a method are provided which generates outcome presentations from a Class 2 or a central determination game outcome. A database stores RNG seeds that correspond to various presentations. To generate the outcome presentations, the RNG seeds are retrieved from the database and random numbers are generated from the RNG seeds. These random numbers are then used to generate the outcome presentations for the Class 2 or central determination game outcome. The RNG seeds may be stored as a series of RNG seeds which may be individually accessed to eliminate certain outcomes or sort certain outcomes prior to presentation.

  • Publication number: 20240207374
    Abstract: This disclosure relates to ionizable amino lipid-based lipid nanoparticles for delivery of mRNA encoding glucose-6-phosphatase. Lipid nanoparticle/mRNA therapies of the invention increase and/or restore deficient levels of glucose-6-phosphatase expression and/or activity in subjects and are useful for the treatment of glycogen storage disease type 1a (GSD-Ia). Lipid nanoparticle/mRNA therapies of the invention increase glucose production and reduce the abnormal accumulation of glycogen and glucose-6-phosphate associated with GSD-Ia.

  • Publication number: 20220296517
    Abstract: The disclosure features target cell delivery lipid nanoparticle (LNP) compositions that allow for enhanced delivery of agents, e.g., nucleic acids, such as therapeutic and/or prophylactic RNAs, to target cells, in particular liver cells and/or splenic cells. The LNPs comprise an effective amount of a target cell delivery potentiating lipid such that delivery of an agent by a target cell target cell delivery LNP is enhanced as compared to an LNP lacking the target cell delivery potentiating agent. Methods of using the target cell target cell delivery LNPs for delivery of agents, e.g., nucleic acid delivery, for protein expression, and for modulating target cell activity are also disclosed.
