What Types of Nanocarriers are Used for RNAi Delivery?
Several types of nanocarriers are used for RNAi delivery, including:
Liposomes: Spherical vesicles composed of lipid bilayers that encapsulate RNA molecules, protecting them from degradation and facilitating cellular uptake. Polymeric nanoparticles: Biodegradable polymers that can be engineered to release RNA molecules in a controlled manner. Gold nanoparticles: Metallic nanoparticles that can be functionalized with RNA molecules and targeting ligands for precise delivery. Dendrimers: Branched, tree-like structures that provide multiple attachment points for RNA molecules and targeting ligands.
