Targeted Delivery of Nucleic Acid Therapeutics: Emerging Carriers and Applications in Common Metabolic and Inflammatory Diseases

New nucleic acid platforms are expanding treatment possibilities for diabetes, inflammation, and rare metabolic disorders.

This comprehensive review covers nucleic acid therapeutic platforms from mRNA vaccines to CRISPR delivery, examining applications in diabetes, inflammation, and rare metabolic conditions. No new clinical trial data are presented; the review synthesizes 2020-2025 literature.
