Abstrakt: Highlights from the article: Gene deficiency diseases where there is lack of functional protein, have found a potential cure in the form of mRNA therapy ([1]) but major challenges for achieving higher bioavailability concerning mRNA based therapy are higher rate of degradation, reduced ability to cross cellular barriers and immunogenicity ([2]) The advances in the field of nano-carriers and chemical modifications of mRNA bases and codon optimization have brought the mRNA based technology into therapeutics race; however, much more has to be achieved ([3], [4]). Additionally, in the light of recent identification of Lung stem cells (Myoepithelial cells and Bronchio Alveolar Stem Cells) ([[13]]), gene correction via sgRNA/Cas9 system could be also fruitful to target and repair stem cells.
