RT Dissertation/Thesis T1 Nanoengineered delivery of RNA: impact on brain diseases and COVID-19 vaccination A1 López Borrajo, Mireya K1 nanotechnology K1 genetic medicine K1 RNA K1 central nervous system diseases K1 vaccines AB Genetic therapies show great potential for treating various diseases through modulation of the expression of specific genes. Their effective delivery is crucial, particularly for challenging conditions like CNS diseases and SARS-CoV-2 vaccines. Here, we used nanotechnology as a fundamental tool for RNA delivery. First, we engineered an ionizable nanoemulsion designed for brain diffusion and delivery of RNA. Second, we explored nanocarriers loaded with siRNA for brain delivery, exploring their performance following alternative administration routes. Finally, we encapsulated mRNAs derived from SARS-CoV-2 within nanoemulsions and polymeric nanocapsules, achieving significant cellular immune responses.
