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. It is worth noting that several companies have begun to develop mRNA-based cancer immunotherapies and vaccines for infectious diseases.
