Abstract

and subsequent LbL encapsulation are both crucial to preserve the integrity of mRNA. The expression of functional luciferase enzyme in HEK293T human embryonic kidney cells after incubation with synthetic luciferase-encoding mRNA capsules indicates the reliability of the encapsulating system and cellular intake of functional mRNAs. These improvements in mRNA encapsulation should provide essential basis for microcapsule-based mRNA delivery for further applications.
