How does circVec technology compare to conventional mRNA expression? 

Drug Discovery World

This is a clear demonstration of a substantial, and statistically significant, advantage over mRNA-based expression. As a result, the data provides an important proof-of-concept for Circio’s circular RNA platform, which we expect will translate into improved gene therapies for patients in the future,” said Dr Thomas Hansen, CTO at Circio. “In
