Selective Organ Targeting lipid nanoparticles
Also known as: SORT, SORT LNPs
Taxonomy: Mechanism Branch / Architecture. Workflows sit above the mechanism and technique branches rather than replacing them.
Summary
We evaluate accumulation and degradation kinetics of mRNA encapsulated in Selective Organ Targeting (SORT) LNPs in the liver, lung, and spleen
Usefulness & Problems
No literature-backed usefulness or problem-fit explainer has been materialized for this record yet.
Published Workflows
Objective: Accelerate discovery and optimization of lipid nanoparticles by using a multiplexed in vivo barcoding platform to characterize delivery kinetics, biological outcomes, and tissue tropism of LNP-mRNA formulations.
Why it works: The abstract presents multiplexing as a way to compare many LNP formulations in vivo within a single barcoded framework, enabling higher-resolution kinetic and tropism characterization than low-throughput workflows.

Stages
- 1.Multiplexed in vivo LNP tracking(broad_screen)
This stage exists to accelerate LNP discovery and optimization by enabling multiplexed in vivo comparison rather than low-throughput one-by-one testing.
Selection: Track multiple LNP formulations in vivo using a barcoded Cre recombinase mRNA platform in tdTomato reporter mice.
- 2.Kinetic characterization across organs(functional_characterization)
This stage exists to connect delivery kinetics with functional protein activity and to resolve organ-specific behavior of SORT LNPs.
Selection: Evaluate accumulation and degradation kinetics of mRNA encapsulated in SORT LNPs in liver, lung, and spleen and relate these to functional protein activity.
- 3.Tropism and zonation characterization(secondary_characterization)
This stage exists to reveal tissue- and zone-specific delivery behaviors that may be missed in broader organ-level analyses.
Selection: Use barcoding to identify and characterize nanoparticles with hepatic zonal bias and extrahepatic tropism.
