• Scientists have developed an adaptable materials platform that can safely and efficiently deliver a wide range of genetic medicines, an advance that could accelerate the development of next-generation vaccines, cancer treatments, and gene-silencing drugs. • Experts from the University of Nottingham’s School of Pharmacy have created a new drug delivery platform that uses modular building blocks that self-assemble with ribonucleic acid- RNA to form nanoscale delivery particles. • The research has been published in Advanced Materials.
Article Summaries:
- Scientists at the University of Nottingham’s School of Pharmacy have created a modular, self‑assembling drug‑delivery platform that can safely and efficiently transport a broad range of genetic medicines. The system uses interchangeable building blocks that combine with ribonucleic acid (RNA) to form nanoscale particles, potentially accelerating the development of next‑generation vaccines, cancer therapies and gene‑silencing drugs. The findings, published in the journal Advanced Materials, highlight the platform’s adaptability and its promise for improving the delivery of RNA‑based therapeutics.
