Nanomaterials provide structural and functional advantages for delivering nucleic acids and CRISPR/Cas systems across biological barriers, but clinical translation remains constrained by unresolved challenges.
Nanocarrier design must balance efficiency with safety by integrating physicochemical precision with biological adaptability.
Reproducibility and large-scale manufacturing continue to limit broader application of ionizable lipid nanoparticles.
Nanocarrier behavior within living systems is often unpredictable and is associated with off-target editing, immune activation, and inconsistent biodistribution.
For ionizable lipid nanoparticles, fine-tuning charge, surface chemistry, and degradation kinetics can enhance endosomal escape and target specificity.
