LNP/mRNA platform that targets disease-causing Th17 cells in vivo
STARx is one of ai3Bio's two public therapeutic platforms for autoimmune disease. According to the company's September 2026 launch materials, STARx uses a lipid nanoparticle to deliver mRNA that triggers a targeted self-destruct process in pathogenic Th17 cells in vivo, aiming for a one-step immune reset complementary to the antibody-based T Deplete platform.
