Delivery of anti-inflammatory microRNA (miRNA) could be beneficial for inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Here the authors show that a fluorinated polyamidoamine dendrimer nanoparticle delivers miR-23b to affected RA joints and reduces inflammation, joint damage and synovial cell influx.
