Abstract
Wesselhoeft et al. find that exogenous circular RNAs are able to bypass RNA sensors, thereby avoiding antiviral defense induction upon cellular entry. They report that nanoformulated, synthetic protein-coding circRNA can be translated in mouse tissues, providing evidence for the potential of circRNA as a vector for therapeutic gene expression.
