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

Drug Discovery World

mRNA technology helped us to vaccinate the world against SARS-CoV-2. 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.

Present Treatments & Hopeful Future Directions for ALS Pharmacotherapies

Conversations in Drug Development Trends

Differences in regulatory sentiments and industry sponsors’ subsequent clinical development strategies historically restricted access based on geography. The targeted ASOs aim to downregulate the expression of gene mutations that are associated with gain-of-function toxicity that leads to motor neuron loss in some ALS cases.
