Engineered “RNACaps” provide oral delivery of liquid #mRNA therapeutics to the intestines in small and large animals for the treatment of #colitis and could support the clinical translation of oral mRNA therapies. @WeiTaoLab @BrighamAnes @XiangangHuang scim.ag/3IwtODi

By loading different types of mRNAs, new oral mRNA vaccines for infectious diseases and oral mRNA medicines for cancers are possible. This technology could also benefit the oral delivery of other types of biologics (e.g., nucleic acids and proteins) to tackle different diseases.
