Despite its potential, mRNA research faces several challenges, including:
Stability: mRNA is inherently unstable and prone to degradation, which complicates its use in therapeutic applications. Delivery: Efficient delivery of mRNA into cells is another major hurdle. Various delivery systems, such as lipid nanoparticles, are being explored to overcome this challenge. Translation Efficiency: Ensuring that the mRNA is efficiently translated into protein is crucial for its effectiveness in applications like vaccines and gene therapy.
