Synthetic mRNA Delivery Method May Prove More Efficient in Administering Vaccines and Treating Cancer

MIT scientists say they have developed a synthetic delivery system that is four times more effective than delivering messenger RNA (mRNA) on its own. The method can potentially be used for administering vaccines or treating cancer."If we want to be able to deliver mRNA, then we need a mechanism to be more effective at it because everything that's been used so far gives you a very small fraction of what would be the optimal efficiency," says Paula Hammond, Ph.D., a David H. Koch Professor in Engi
