PVX Protein Platforms for RNA Delivery
2026-10-06
A 2025 Scientific Reports study examined potato virus X coat-protein assemblies as a conceptual delivery platform for mRNA and circular RNA. The reported results support feasibility in cell-based reporter experiments, but the evidence remains early-stage: it does not establish clinical efficacy, tissue targeting, comparative performance against lipid nanoparticles, or the suitability of any particular commercial mRNA product.
