Molecular beacons used for gene therapy. (A) Analysis of molecular beacon micelle flares for intracellular mRNA gene therapy. Diacyllipid-molecular beacon conjugates (L-MBs) self-assemble into MBMFs and enter living cells. (B) Illustration of miR-34a beacon delivery system for targeted intracellular recognition of miR-34a based on HA-coated nanocontainers that encapsulate the miR-34a beacons (bHNCs).
