The innovation uses RNA interference to silence genes causing excessive inflammatory proteins, offering precision medicine instead of systemic symptom treatment. Liquid crystal nanoparticles protect genetic material and enable deep skin absorption, allowing multiple therapeutic RNAs and drugs to be combined in single particles.

Precision Medicine
Patients with psoriasis (5M in Brazil, 190M globally) and skin cancer could benefit from more effective, targeted treatments with fewer systemic side effects. Potential for improved quality of life and reduced healthcare costs through precision medicine approach rather than systemic medications.
Likely to attract increased R&D funding from Brazilian government agencies (FAPESP, CNPq). May accelerate regulatory pathways for nanomedicine approval. Could influence healthcare policy toward precision medicine reimbursement models. International collaboration opportunities may expand through technology transfer agreements.
