Abstract

The recent commercialization of gene products has sparked significant interest in gene therapy, necessitating efficient and precise gene delivery via various vectors. Currently, viral vectors and lipid-based nanocarriers are the predominant choices and have been extensively investigated and reviewed. Beyond these vectors, polymeric nanocarriers also hold the promise in therapeutic gene delivery owing to their versatile functionalities, such as improving the stability, cellar uptake and endosomal escape of nucleic acid drugs, along with precise delivery to targeted tissues. This review presents a brief overview of the status quo of the emerging polymeric nanocarriers for therapeutic gene delivery, focusing on key cationic polymers, nanocarrier types, and preparation methods. It also highlights targeted diseases, strategies to improve delivery efficiency, and potential future directions in this research area. The review is hoped to inspire the development, optimization, and clinical translation of highly efficient polymeric nanocarriers for therapeutic gene delivery.
