Flu Virus-Inspired Nanoparticles for mRNA Delivery
“Researchers at the University of California San Diego developed a new delivery technique for mRNA. The method involves flu virus-inspired nanoparticles that can escape endosomes, the acidic vesicles that engulf and destroy materials that attempt to enter cells. The nanoparticles contain a protein receptor that allows them to unlock the endosomes and release the mRNA into the interior of cells. The technology could allow for more efficient and effective mRNA therapies. MORE
