INHALABLE mRNA for vaccines, GENE therapies and more
… The ability to efficiently deliver mRNA to the lung
… for vaccine development, gene therapy, and more
… showed that such mRNA delivery can be accomplished by encapsulating mRNAs of interest
… Polyplex-delivered mRNAs were efficiently translated into protein in the lungs of mice
… limited evidence of toxicity
… was successfully applied as an intranasal SARS-CoV-2 vaccine
… lung-targeted mRNA therapeutics has been limited by poor transfection efficiency
… and risk of vehicle-induced pathology
… intranasal vaccination with spike protein–encoding mRNA polyplexes induced potent cellular and humoral adaptive immunity
