The commercial success of RNA vaccines for COVID-19 has revved up interest in circular RNAs as the next generation of therapies.

This is where the circular RNAS come in.

Very interesting to think that a biological material like DNA can be potentially used for making materials like vehicles and devices. Nanotechnology can be crazy. It will be exciting if something like this ever gets commercialised.
