Serina Therapeutics to Present at the 4th LNP Formulation & Process Development Summit
HUNTSVILLE, AL, April 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Serina Therapeutics, Inc. ("Serina") (NYSE:SER), a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing its proprietary POZ Platform™ drug optimization technology, announced that Randall Moreadith, M.D., Ph.D., Chief Development Officer, will present new data at the 4th LNP Formulation & Process Development Summit 2025 in Boston, MA. The presentation, titled "The PEG Dilemma – A Solution," will take place on Tuesday, April 15, at 9:30 AM ET. The session will focus on addressing challenges related to anti-PEG antibodies in mRNA vaccines and therapeutics and introduces Serina's POZ-lipid technology as an immune-silent alternative to PEG-lipids.
Dr. Moreadith will share data demonstrating that Serina's POZ-lipid, a key component of lipid nanoparticles (LNPs), did not trigger an IgM or IgG antibody response following repeat dosing in rats in a vaccine format. In contrast, polyethylene glycol (PEG)-lipid standards, commonly used in current LNP formulations, elicited a strong and boosted antibody response.
Anti-PEG antibodies have been implicated as a potential cause of anaphylaxis and other serious adverse events observed in humans receiving PEGylated mRNA vaccines, such as those from Pfizer and Moderna. The absence of an immune response to Serina's POZ-lipid represents a novel discovery that could enable the development of safer and more effective LNP formulations for gene therapy and RNA-based medicines.
