Today’s Spotlight features an illustration, by Ella Maru Studio, about a new technique where MIT engineers use short bursts of ultrasound to efficiently deliver RNA into cells.
MIT and Brigham and Women’s Hospital researchers have demonstrated that they can deliver strands of RNA efficiently to colon cells, using bursts of ultrasound waves that propel the RNA into the cells. Using this approach, the researchers dramatically turned down the production of a protein involved in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), in mice.
