Enhancing gene therapy with Circio

Drug Target Review

Secondly, circRNAs can be engineered for more efficient protein expression by carefully selecting and optimising the IRES element, a sequence motif derived from viruses and used to initiate cap-independent translation from circRNA. What improvements in protein expression and durability have been demonstrated by the circVec 2.1

Unlocking the potential of mRNA for the future treatment of rare diseases 

Drug Discovery World

The half-life of proteins expressed through the mRNA technology is also much longer than those of direct protein delivery, which suggests that it could be more effective as a treatment strategy for rare diseases. Therefore, the risk for off-target insertional mutagenesis is greatly reduced.

Five Promising Treatment Areas in Early-Phase Drug Development in 2024

Alta Sciences

They work by binding to specific sequences of nucleotides present within the mRNA structure and can induce mechanisms that either decrease, restore, or modify protein expression. And since proteins are often linked to disease, there's huge potential to treat a broad range of diseases with this technology. Asia, and Europe.
