3D illustration of a light blue lipid nanoparticle pressed against a pink cell membrane. At the point where the two meet, 3D renditions of amino acids sit on the membrane. A white strand of RNA floats on the inside of the cell, delivered by the attached lipid nanoparticle. This photo represents how supplementing amino acids alongside lipid nanoparticles increases their delivery of cargo to cells.
