Can pulmonary RNA delivery improve our pandemic preparedness?

Merkel, Olivia M. (2022): Can pulmonary RNA delivery improve our pandemic preparedness? In: Journal of Controlled Release, Vol. 345: pp. 549-556

Abstract

The coronavirus pandemic has changed our perception of RNA medicines, and RNA vaccines have revolutionized our pandemic preparedness. But are we indeed prepared for the next variant or the next emerging virus? How can we prepare? And what does the role of inhaled antiviral RNA play in this regard? When the pandemic started, I rerouted much of the ongoing inhaled RNA delivery research in my group towards the inhibition and treatment of respiratory viral infections. Two years later, I have taken the literature, past and ongoing clinical trials into consideration and have gained new insights based on our collaborative research which I will discuss in this oration.
