There is a YC company that has a technology to guide small molecules to cancer cells. Might be able to guide mRNA too.

This would be great for many diseases. mRNAs are great as a vaccine to trigger an anti-cancer response, combined with checkpoint inhibitors. The big challenge is to choose a good personalized mix of peptides (encoded as mRNAs) in a way that scales to thousands of patients.
