Delivery and structural elements of mRNA therapeutics. Structure of a lipid-based mRNA nanoparticle (left) and synthetic mRNA (right), comprising a 5′ cap, 5′ and 3′ UTRs, a start codon initiating the open reading frame (AUG), and a poly(A) tail. Listed are different mRNA delivery methods, as well as tunable structural elements influencing mRNA translation, stability and potential of innate immune activation. UTR: untranslated region; ds: double-stranded
