AI Designs Virus-Like Nanocages to Deliver Drugs
Teams from POSTECH and the University of Washington used RFdiffusion to design protein nanocages that self-assemble into hollow spheres, essentially virus shells without the genome. This could be a game-changer for delivering drugs, vaccines, or gene therapies exactly where needed, ditching traditional viral vectors and their associated risks.
