Effective messenger RNA (mRNA) transfection in hard-to-transfect cells delivered by vectors is a long-standing challenge. Now it is hypothesized that the high intracellular glutathione level is associated with suppressed mRNA translation. This theory leads to a new design principle of next-generation mRNA vectors: nanoparticles with glutathione depletion chemistry upregulate mRNA translation and enhance transfection, which is beneficial for mRNA delivery in hard-to-transfect cells in vitro and in vivo. © 2019 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
