Delivery of genome editors with engineered virus-like particles.

Genome editing technologies have revolutionized biomedical sciences and biotechnology. However, their delivery in vivo remains one of the major obstacles for clinical translation. Here, we introduce various emerging genome editing systems and review different delivery systems have been developed to realize the promise of in vivo gene editing therapies. In particular, we focus on virus-like particles (VLPs), an emerging delivery platform and provide in depth analysis on recent advancements to improve VLPs delivery potential and highlight opportunities for future improvements. To this end, we also provide detail workflows for engineered VLP (eVLP) selection, production, and purification, along with methods for characterization and validation.
