1. A stable composition comprising lipid nanoparticles encapsulating messenger RNA (mRNA), wherein the mRNA encodes a protein or a peptide, wherein each of the lipid nanoparticles comprises one or more cationic lipids, one or more non-cationic lipids, an amphiphilic block co-polymer, and less than 0.5% of PEG-modified lipids or PEG, and wherein the lipid nanoparticles encapsulating mRNA comprise 0.5% or less of the amphiphilic block co-polymer.
