RNA delivery
RNA delivery refers to the process of transporting RNA molecules into cells, where they can perform specific functions, such as coding for proteins or regulating gene expression. This is especially important in medical applications, such as mRNA vaccines, where the delivered RNA instructs cells to produce a harmless part of a virus, prompting an immune response. Delivering RNA safely and effectively can be challenging, as it needs to reach the target cells without being degraded. Researchers explore various methods, including nanoparticles">lipid nanoparticles and other carriers, to enhance RNA delivery for therapeutic purposes.
