Background: As the global population increases, the demand for protein sources is expected to increase, driving the demand for cell-based cultivated meat. This study aimed to enhance the productivity of cultivated meat through optimization of the cell source and organization process.
Results: We engineered fibroblasts into myogenic cells via non-viral introduction of the MYOD1 gene, avoiding viral methods for safety.

Current methods for the precise integration of DNA sequences into the genome of human T cells predominantly target exonic regions, which limits the choice of integration site and requires complex cell-selection strategies. Here we show that non-viral intron knock-ins for incorporating synthetic exons into endogenous introns enable efficient gene targeting and selective gene knockout in successfully edited cells. In primary human T cells, the knock-in of a chimaeric antigen receptor (CAR) into the T-cell receptor alpha constant locus facilitated the purification of more than 90% CAR T cells via the negative selection of T-cell-receptor-negative cells.

Lipoplexes are non-viral lipid vectors that effectively form complexes with genetic material, positioning them as promising alternatives to viral vectors in gene therapy. Their advantages include lower toxicity, reduced immunogenicity, improved targetability, and ease of large-scale production. A typical lipoplex is composed of cationic lipids, neutral lipids, and anionic nucleic acids (e.

Plasmids are widely used gene vectors in gene therapy, yet their efficient delivery remains a major challenge for achieving optimal therapeutic outcomes. Recently, poly(β-amino esters) (PBAEs) have emerged as promising carriers for non-viral gene delivery due to their tunable structures and high delivery efficiency. Nonetheless, the cationic nature of PBAEs raises toxicity concerns, and their lack of tissue-specific targeting capability limits their clinical application.

DNA vaccines have emerged as a powerful approach for advanced cancer therapy. Despite the development of various delivery systems to enhance the immunogenicity of DNA vaccines, many still face challenges such as limited DNA condensation, rapid degradation in vivo and insufficient targeting to lymph nodes (LNs). Synthetic dendrimers with modifiable surfaces exhibit high efficiency in DNA condensation, but their synthesis is extremely complex.
