The future outlook for mRNA therapies

Drug Discovery World

Messenger RNA (mRNA) has come into focus within the drug discovery and development as an exciting tool to deliver genetic information. mRNA is a molecule made up of a single strand of ribonucleic acid (RNA). At the start of 2024, the first patients in a clinical trial investigating an mRNA cancer therapy were dosed.

Breaking the Speed Limit on Cell Division

However, they plod along as they clone plasmids—the loops of DNA that biologists use to manipulate and study organisms—because propagating them relies, in part, on the pace at which cells grow and divide. Most medicines, including insulin and semaglutide (the weight loss drug), are made using DNA cloning. However, E.

in physics at Princeton University, he had a remarkable idea: What if it were possible to build a circuit out of DNA, rather than electronics, and use it to “program” a living cell? The RNA Exporter , which was developed by Felix Horns and others in my lab, is one example. Elowitz: It’s a mix.
