Inserting genetic material into the body to treat diseases caused by gene mutations can work, scientists saybut getting those materials to the right place safely is tricky.
Scientists report today in the journal Science Advances that the lipid-based nanoparticles they engineered, carrying two sets of protein-making instructions, showed in animal studies that they have the potential to function as therapies for two genetic disorders.
In one experiment, the payload-containing nanoparticles promp…
