Genome-editing technologies hold tremendous potential for treating genetic diseases. However, the efficient and safe delivery of genome-editing elements to the location of interest, and the achievement of specific targeted gene correction without off-target side effect remains a big challenge. In this perspective, we highlight recent developments and discuss the challenges of non-viral nanoparticles for the delivery of genome-editing tools. Finally, we will propose promising strategies to improve the delivery efficacy and advance the clinical translation of gene-editing technology.
