Description
Our video project explores the use of mRNA-encoded Cas13 delivered via lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) as a novel antiviral strategy against the Dengue virus, which lacks approved treatments and poses a serious risk in tropical regions. Designed for a general audience, especially travelers, the video will combine animations, interviews, and infographics to explain the science behind Cas13 and its therapeutic potential in targeting viral RNA.This video aims to raise public awareness about Dengue prevention and the future of nanoparticle-based antiviral therapies.
