Researchers in the Miqin Zhang lab (materials science & engineering) have developed a promising new way to deliver messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) to cancer cells. Their novel polymer platform, a new nanoparticle comprised of perfluoroheptanoic acid (PFHA), polyethyleneimine (PEI), heparin (HP) and mRNA, shows enormous potential to outperform the current standard platform, lipid nanoparticles (LNPs).
