Abstract
RNA interference involves the degradation of a target messenger RNA through the incorporation of short interfering RNAs (siRNA) [1]. The application of siRNA based therapeutics is limited by the development of an effective delivery system. A novel type of nanoparticles known as non-ionic surfactant vesicles (NISV) are commonly used for drug delivery of various therapeutics, are relatively safe and non-expensive, have not been extensively studied for siRNA delivery [2]. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the potential of NISV prepared by microfluidics for siRNA delivery.
