Abstract
Background: Over the decade, miRNAs are the most important molecules for the biopharmaceutical industry due to their relation with several human diseases. Presently, the phase-II clinical trial has been initiated for the first miRNA-based therapeutics (“Miravirsen”) to treat HCV infection. It has been expected that many more miRNA-based therapeutics will enter the clinical trials. Therefore, it is important to develop different kinds of novel delivery systems with better efficacy and more efficiency, but fewer side effects.
Methods: We have undertaken a structured search of bibliographic databases for peer-reviewed research literature to solve our review question. Literature survey was performed widely to write this review article.
Results: In this review, we have discussed the various types of miRNA delivery systems such as viral vectors, lipid-based systems, nanocarriers, and LNA-customized DNA delivery without any delivery-mediated agent. Current status, technical support, and the future challenges for miRNA-based delivery are also discussed.
Conclusion: Recent development and understanding of miRNA had shown the therapeutic potentiality of miRNA.
Keywords: Biopharmaceutical industry, cancer therapy, miRNA delivery, therapeutic microRNA, tumorigenesis.

Impact of brain tissue binding and plasma protein binding of drugs in DMPK
The impression of brain tissue binding (BTB) or plasma protein binding (PPB) in Drug Metabolism and Pharmacokinetics is critical to understanding the distribution, efficacy, and potential toxicity of drugs that target the central nervous system (CNS). BTB and high PPB influence the distribution of drugs in the body and their ...read more
Interaction between drugs and endocrine diseases
The introduction of highly active antiretroviral therapy accelerated studies and our understanding on the interaction between pharmacological therapies and endocrine diseases. Drugs can precipitate endocrine via different mechanisms, including direct alteration of hormone production and secretion, dysregulation of hormonal axis, effects on hormonal transport, receptor-binding, and cellular signalling. Common drug-induced ...read more
Metabolism-Mediated Xenobiotic Toxicity
Considering the potent modulation of biotransformation enzyme expression and activities by various therapeutic drugs and environmental chemicals, and the commonly combined exposure of humans to both drugs and the ever increasing environmental pollutants simultaneously, knowledge about the combined toxic effects by modulating biotransformation enzymes, such as P450s, UDP- glucuronosyltransferases, and ...read more
Safety evaluation of vaccine combination
Vaccine combination safety evaluation is a critical field within immunology and public health that focuses on assessing the safety and efficacy of combining different vaccines to maximize protection against various diseases while minimizing potential adverse effects.
