Abstract

Messenger RNA (mRNA)–based vaccines have revolutionized modern immunization by offering a flexible and rapid platform for combating infectious diseases. When combined with lipid nanoparticles (LNPs), these vaccines gain enhanced stability, targeted delivery, and efficient cellular uptake. The integration of mRNA technology with lipid-based nanocarriers has opened new possibilities for developing broad-spectrum vaccines capable of inducing strong and durable immune responses against multiple viral pathogens. This innovative hybrid approach enables the delivery of multiple antigen-encoding mRNAs within a single formulation, promoting both humoral and cellular immune responses. Moreover, lipid nanoparticles protect the fragile mRNA from enzymatic degradation and facilitate endosomal escape, ensuring efficient protein expression in host cells. Such designs can be fine-tuned to address emerging viral variants, including influenza, coronavirus, and other zoonotic threats. Beyond their immediate role in pandemic preparedness, mRNA–lipid hybrid nanovaccines represent a transformative step toward personalized immunization and universal antiviral defense. Continued research into optimizing lipid composition, immune adjuvants, and storage stability will be critical to realizing their full potential in global public health.
