SNSajid NaeemINTI International UniversityJZJu ZhangNortheast Agricultural UniversityYZYang ZhangEast China University of Science and Technology

Key Result

Nucleic acid therapeutics have seen substantial advancements and regulatory approvals for clinical use, though achieving efficient and targeted delivery to diseased sites remains a challenge.

Structured PICO

I
Intervention
Nucleic acid therapeutics (including siRNA, mRNA, aptamer, antisense oligo, and CRISPR-Cas9)

Nucleic acid therapeutics are rapidly advancing with multiple regulatory approvals, though targeted delivery remains a key challenge.

Limitations

  • Difficulty of achieving efficient and targeted delivery to diseased sites

Abstract

Nucleic acid therapeutics have become increasingly recognized in recent years for their capability to target both coding and non-coding sequences. Several types of nucleic acid modalities, including siRNA, mRNA, aptamer, along with antisense oligo, have been approved by regulatory bodies for therapeutic use. The field of nucleic acid therapeutics has been brought to the forefront by the rapid development of vaccines against COVID-19, followed by a number of approvals for clinical use including much anticipated CRISPR-Cas9. However, obstacles such as the difficulty of achieving efficient and targeted delivery to diseased sites remain. This review provides an overview of nucleic acid therapeutics and highlights substantial advancements, including critical engineering, conjugation, and delivery strategies, that are paving the way for their growing role in modern medicine.
