Messenger RNA (mRNA) based systems have recently attracted considerable attention for their use in the delivery of functional antibodies and therapeutic proteins. Both viral and non-viral vectors, including liposomes, polymeric nanoparticles, and mRNA-protein complexes, have been studied in clinic. Significant…READ MORE >
