Innovative mRNA Delivery Technique Could Correct Genetic Disorders Before Birth

ByNews Polite

In a new study from UC Davis and UC Berkeley, researchers have developed a method to deliver mRNA to fetal brain cells, potentially offering a way to correct genetic disorders like Angelman and Rett syndrome before birth. By injecting messenger RNA (mRNA) encapsulated in lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) directly into fetal…
