Researchers Construct RNA Nanoparticles to Safely Deliver Long-Lasting Therapy to Cells. Nanotechnology researchers have known for years that RNA, the cousin of DNA, is a promising tool for nanotherapy. But producing long-lasting, therapeutic RNA that remains stable and non-toxic while entering targeted cells has proven difficult. But now University of Cincinnati biomedical engineering professor Peixuan Guo has found better ways of producing large RNA nanoparticles and testing their safety in the delivery of therapeutics to targeted cells.
