Evaluate the drafted changes
The lead is clear, concise, and easy to read. I like that the lead includes a contemporary application of transient expression for transient expression via RNA expression to combat COVID-19. The lead would benefit from including more citations, especially when claims are made (e.g., most animal cells would require a viral vector or a citation to a review article about transient expression).

The advantages section is well-summarized without going into too much detail. I like the section comparing both the advantages and disadvantages of when and for what circumstances transient vs stable expression should be used. The advantages section could benefit from including citations to support claims. An example is for the sentence "However, since successful integration of a DNA vector into the chromosome is a rare occurrence, this process is more difficult and time-consuming, and is reserved for large-scale protein production, gene therapies, and long-term pharmacology studies," which could include a citation that claim the disadvantages of stable expression as well as another reference for the examples mentioned by citing the publications that studied the applications of stable expression.

Finally, the mammalian cells section includes interesting and relevant examples of transient expression in different mammalian cell lines. Mentioning the differences in transient expression methods (if any) between the different mammalian cell lines would further strengthen this section.
