The future outlook for mRNA therapies

Drug Discovery World

Reece Armstrong explores the potential and future opportunities for mRNA-based therapies. For instance, consider how at the end of 2018, the mRNA therapies market was valued at $3.43 mRNA-based approaches can produce proteins / peptides by using protein synthesis which is processed in a transfected cell 1.

Gene editing in organoids: accounting for complexity in drug discovery

Drug Discovery World

Altering one base pair can drastically change how the gene’s protein product functions, while mutations can lead to the development of a range of genetic disorders. . The development of CRISPR has opened the door to ending diseases by fixing mutations and developing therapies through the process of modeling mutations.

This means that IscB base editors might be easier to package inside of AAVs, which can only store 4,700 bases of DNA for gene therapies. 3/ Cell Membrane Editor A cell is a lipid shell with lots of DNA, proteins, and RNA molecules inside. Molecular Therapy. Base editors made from Cas9 are about twice as big. Tech Crunch.
