It is hard enough getting these protein instructions, called messenger RNA (mRNA), physically into a cell. It is another hurdle altogether for the cell to actually use them to make a protein. If the technique works in people, it could provide a new way of inserting therapeutic proteins into diseased cells.Science
Glow-in-the-dark mice brings next-gen gene therapies closer

Not only did the technique make the mouse glow, it also later woke up and ran around, completely unaware of the complex...
