mRNA delivery systems

mRNA delivery systems are methods used to transport messenger RNA into human cells so they can produce specific proteins, such as vaccines do. These systems typically use tiny carriers called lipid nanoparticles, which are essentially microscopic fat bubbles that protect the mRNA and help it fuse with cell membranes. Once inside, the mRNA instructs the cell to produce a targeted protein, triggering an immune response or therapeutic effect. These delivery systems are carefully designed to ensure stability, safety, and efficient delivery of mRNA into the right cells, enabling rapid development of vaccines and gene therapies.
