What is the Role of Nanoparticles in RNA Delivery?
Nanoparticles can be engineered to deliver RNA molecules directly into cells. These nanoparticles protect RNA from degradation and enhance its cellular uptake. They can be functionalized with targeting ligands to ensure delivery to specific cell types or tissues. This approach is particularly useful in gene therapy and RNA interference (RNAi) applications, where precise delivery of RNA molecules is critical for therapeutic efficacy.
