MIT researchers have developed a method to stabilize RNA vaccine lipid nanoparticles, potentially removing the need for ultracold storage. Using an AI algorithm, the team optimized vaccine formulations to remain stable at room temperature for up to a year, or at nearly 100 degrees Fahrenheit for two months. This innovation could significantly enhance vaccine distribution, particularly in regions with limited cold-chain infrastructure.
