Small Activating RNAs: A Curated Database and an Overview of Rational Design Principles

RNA activation (RNAa), mediated by small activating RNAs (saRNAs), upregulates endogenous gene expression through recruitment of the Argonaute proteins to the promoter, natural antisense transcripts, or other noncoding RNAs. This mechanistically distinct modality addresses an unmet need, as few RNA therapeutics current...

CRISPR/Cas9 Delivery Using Extracellular Vesicles.

Extracellular vesicles (EVs), particles released from cells, have the potential to become an important in vivo delivery vehicle for CRISPR machinery. Unlike viral vectors such as Adeno-associated virus (AAV), EVs reduce risks associated with immunogenicity, long-term expression, and potential off-target effects. EVs ca...

#gene editing Sep 2026

Decoupling reactogenicity from efficacy enables safer mRNA vaccines, AAV gene delivery, and in vivo base editing.

A unifying innate-sensing architecture for nucleic-acid therapeutics is defined and it is established that reactogenicity is not required for effective vaccination or gene delivery, enabling a broadly applicable strategy to widen the safety window of mRNA medicines, viral vectors, and in vivo genome editing.
