mRNA Therapeutics and mRNA Vaccines Industry: Current Scenario and Future Trends

Roots Analysis

It is important in the process of protein synthesis because mRNA is responsible for transferring genetic information from DNA to ribosomes, which then decodes the genetic information into a protein. In the last few years, researchers have become interested in using in vitro transcribed (IVT) mRNA as a drug delivery agent.

A protein-based COVID-19 vaccine that mimics the shape of the virus

The Pharma Data

Even as several safe and effective COVID-19 vaccines are being administered to people worldwide, scientists are still hard at work developing different vaccine strategies that could provide even stronger or longer-lasting immunity against SARS-CoV-2 and its variants.

COVID-19 Vaccine Messaging: Why Vaccine Efficacies Can’t Be Compared and Shopped

XTalks

As the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) handed out an emergency use authorization (EUA) to Janssen’s COVID-19 vaccine over the weekend — making it the third authorized COVID-19 vaccine in the US — many people became laser-focused on the 66 percent average efficacy of the single-dose shot.

mRNA pioneers Katalin Karikó and Drew Weissman receive Nobel prize

Drug Discovery World

The Nobel Assembly at Karolinska Institutet has awarded the 2023 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine jointly to Katalin Karikó and Drew Weissman for their discoveries that enabled the development of mRNA vaccines against Covid-19. The effect was due to the reduced activation of an enzyme that regulates protein production.
