| Endosomal Escape Evidence | |
| Peptide Concentration | R8 at 10 mol% of total lipids (surface attachment after liposome formation). |
| Rna Concentration | Chol-RNA aptamer at 2.5 mol% of total lipids (dual-ligand variants); NBD-DOPE used as tracer. |
| Mixing Ratio | DOPE/sphingomyelin/NBD-DOPE (9:2:0.1) with ± 2.5 mol% Chol-aptamer; then add stearylated R8 to 10 mol% total lipid. |
| Formulation Format | Liposome (MITO-Porter) with peptide + RNA aptamer dual-ligand surface |
| Formulation Components | DOPE/sphingomyelin/NBD-DOPE (9:2:0.1 molar). R8 device ± Chol-RNA aptamer (RP/MRP/D-arm). |

| Administration Route | |
| Output Type | Uptake + mitochondrial targeting (flow cytometry MFI; confocal colocalization with mitochondria) |
| Output Value | Dual-ligand (aptamer/R8) increases cellular uptake vs R8-only and improves mitochondrial targeting/occupancy; RP/R8 at 2.5 mol% reported as optimal among tested aptamers. |
| Output Units | |
| Output Notes | Readouts: flow cytometry of NBD-labeled liposomes after 3 h; CLSM colocalization with Mitofluor-stained mitochondria; mechanistic inhibitor studies (sucrose/amiloride; FCCP/oligomycin) probe uptake/targeting pathways. |
