Unlocking the Secrets of MicroRNA in Cells: A New Method is Revealed
For years, scientists have been searching for a way to effectively deliver microRNA (miRNA) molecules to cells. This type of gene delivery has the potential to treat a variety of diseases, including cancer. Today, researchers have announced a breakthrough in the field, introducing a more efficient method for delivering miRNAs to cells.
This new method involves using polymers to deliver the miRNAs to cells. The polymer is attached to the miRNA molecules, allowing them to easily enter the cell. Once inside, the miRNA molecules are released from the polymer and work to modify the gene expression of the cell. This method is more efficient than other forms of gene delivery, and could pave the way for new treatments for cancer and other diseases.
