Introduction To Exosome Therapeutics

Roots Analysis

Over time, various research studies have demonstrated the potential of exosomes ( membrane bound extracellular vesicles) in disease diagnosis, drug delivery and therapeutic applications. In addition, they are involved in regulating the expression of the targets that are linked to RNA as they can affect the expression of RNA.

Cell-penetrating peptides as a delivery system for oligonucleotides

Drug Discovery World

Emerging as a new treatment option in rare and orphan disease areas, oligonucleotide therapeutics have matured into a drug class with a broad indication spectrum. Oligonucleotides act on the RNA level through different molecular pathways, but there is a major drawback when using them as drugs: their poor bioavailability and cellular uptake.

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.
