Reprogramming of cells using modified mRNA

摘要

Reprogramming of cells for delivery of proteins at specific sites holds great promise for future clinical applications. Chitosan delivery agents in form of nano-spheres presents a readily available biodegradable option for controlled release of mRNA in the cytosol of the cells. In this work we are using Enhanced Green Fluorescent protein as a proof of concept to show for transfection of osteoblast cells with modified mRNA. Transfection was carried out using lipofectaime RNAiMAX.
