Protein Nanocages Pave the Way for Effective mRNA Therapeutics
Chinese Academy of Sciences

Messenger RNAs (mRNAs) possess unique properties making them great therapeutic candidates. However, delivering mRNA drugs to target cells is challenging. Protein nanocages (PNCs) are nanostructures that self-assemble using multiple copies of the same or different proteins. PNCs can encapsulate and protect mRNAs, thereby facilitating efficient delivery.
