Lipid nanoparticles as nano-Trojan-horses for siRNA delivery and gene-knockdown

The therapeutic messenger RNA strategies, such as those using small interfering RNAs, take several advantages (versatility, efficiency and selectivity) over plasmid DNA-based strategies. However, the challenge remains to f ind nanovectors capable of properly loading the genetic material, transportin...
