Articles, compositions, kits, and methods relating to nanostructures, including synthetic nanostructures, are provided. Certain embodiments described herein include structures having a core-shell type arrangement; for instance, a nanostructure core may be surrounded by a shell including a material, such as a lipid bilayer, and may include other components such as oligonucleotides. In some embodiments, the structures, when introduced into a subject, can be used to deliver nucleic acids and/or can regulate gene expression. Accordingly, the structures described herein may be used to diagnose, prevent, treat or manage certain diseases or bodily conditions. In some cases, the structures are both a therapeutic agent and a diagnostic agent.
提供了与纳米结构(包括合成纳米结构)有关的物品、组合物、试剂盒和方法。本文所述的某些实施方案包括具有核壳型排列的结构;例如,纳米结构核可被包括材料(如脂质双分子层)的壳包围,并可包括其他成分(如寡核苷酸)。在某些实施方案中,将这些结构导入受试者体内后,可用于递送核酸和/或调节基因表达。因此,本文所述结构可用于诊断、预防、治疗或控制某些疾病或身体状况。在某些情况下,这些结构既是治疗剂又是诊断剂。
