Nanogene editing drug delivery systems in the treatment of liver fibrosis

Liver fibrosis is a group of diseases that seriously affect the health of the world's population. Despite significant progress in understanding the mechanisms of liver fibrogenesis, the technologies and drugs used to treat liver fibrosis have limited efficacy. As a revolutionary genetic tool, gene editing technology brings new hope for treating liver fibrosis. Combining nano-delivery systems with gene editing tools to achieve precise delivery and efficient expression of gene editing tools that can be used to treat liver fibrosis has become a rapidly developing field. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the principles and methods of gene editing technology and commonly used gene editing targets for liver fibrosis. We also discuss recent advances in common gene editing delivery vehicles and nano-delivery formulations in liver fibrosis research. Although gene editing technology has potential advantages in liver fibrosis, it still faces some challenges regarding delivery efficiency, specificity, and safety. Future studies need to address these issues further to explore the potential and application of liver fibrosis technologies in treating liver fibrosis.
