Nanotechnology is the use of materials that have unique nanoscale properties. In recent years, nanotechnologies have shown promising results for human health, especially in cancer treatment. The self-assembly characteristic of RNA is a powerful bottom-up approach to the design and creation of nanostructures through interdisciplinary biological, chemical and physical techniques. The use of RNA nanotechnology in therapeutics is about to be realized. This review discusses different kinds of nano-based drug delivery systems and their characteristic features.
Keywords: RNA nanotechnology; endosomal escape; endosomes; nanoparticles; physicochemical properties; ribose nucleic acid.
A branch of nanotechnology called RNA nanotechnology involves designing, studying, and utilizing synthetic structures based on RNA. This review discusses different kinds of nano-based drug delivery systems and their characteristic features. It aims to provide an overview of nanoparticles as a delivery system for gene therapy to treat diseases such as cancer. In order to enhance nanoparticle efficacy, these systems should be designed with this in mind in order to develop and test delivery systems rationally and scientifically.
