Development, challenges, and redesign of non-viral gene delivery using lipid and hybrid nanoparticles

Updated

Abstract

Five major classes of non-viral gene delivery vectors are examined for their potential in precision medicine.

  • Non-viral vectors may offer improved safety profiles compared to traditional viral vectors.
  • Lipid Nanoparticles (LNP), polyplexes, lipoplexes, and exosomes are evaluated for their structural features and delivery mechanisms.
  • Hybrid systems that combine properties from different vectors may help to address specific limitations of single-component systems.
  • The review discusses therapeutic applications and translational challenges associated with these non-viral delivery platforms.
  • An integrated framework is proposed to enhance the understanding of non-viral vector design for gene delivery.
