# drugs: spray with autocatalyic effects: an inhalable form of Messenger RNA

<< Messenger RNA encodes genetic instructions that stimulate cells to produce specific proteins. >>

<< In an advance that could lead to new treatments for lung disease, MIT researchers have now designed an inhalable form of mRNA. This aerosol could be administered directly to the lungs to help treat diseases such as cystic fibrosis >>
