Turning science into business: Amplifying mRNA by targeting regRNAs

Drug Discovery World

DS: CAMP4 leverages research from co-founder Richard Young on how regulatory RNA (regRNA) molecules control the expression of genes. JMB: Regulatory RNAs (or regRNAS) are molecules that directly control the expression of nearby protein-coding genes. DS: How easy was it to transfer theoretical research into a viable business?

The era of precision neuroscience

Drug Discovery World

Mutations in a gene may cause structural changes in its protein product, which can lead to a loss of function and consequently to the onset of a disease. Mutations in the dark genome affect gene regulation rather than coding, exerting a positive or negative impact on the expression of genes that may be related to disease processes.

World RNA Day: What impact RNA it had on drug discovery?  

Drug Discovery World

As per a definition provided by AstraZeneca: “Once inside, ASOs bind with high specificity to target mRNA or pre-mRNA, inducing its degradation – effectively silencing it – to prevent its translation into a detrimental protein product. Though some genetic mutations are harmful, others can be protective.

Scientists pinpoint where thousands of individual proteins are made in intact tissue and single cells

Broad Institute

Williams June 29, 2023 Credit: Zeng H, Huang J, Ren J, et al. Now, researchers at MIT and the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard have developed RIBOmap, a technique that lets them pinpoint and visualize the precise locations of thousands of proteins being produced within an intact tissue and even individual cells.
