Why the study?

Previous genetic engineering approaches to target cardiac fibrosis generated persistent cytolytic T cells that pose safety concerns in humans, motivating transient in vivo delivery.

Does targeted mRNA lipid nanoparticles delivering modified RNA to T cells in vivo improve cardiac function in a murine model of cardiac fibrosis?
