Cellular uptake of modified mRNA occurs via caveolae-mediated endocytosis, yielding high protein expression in slow-dividing cells

Nucleic acids have clear clinical potential for gene therapy. Plasmid DNA (pDNA) was the first nucleic acid to be pursued as a therapeutic molecule. Recently, mRNA came into play as it offers improved safety and affordability. In this study, we investigated the uptake mechanisms and efficiencies of...
