Rheumatoid arthritis treated with implanted cells that release drug

The Pharma Data

Louis have genetically engineered cells that, when implanted in mice, will deliver a biologic drug in response to inflammation. The engineered cells reduced inflammation and prevented a type of damage to bone, known as bone erosion, in a mouse model of rheumatoid arthritis. . Simon Professor of Orthopaedic Surgery.

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

Roots Analysis

Messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) is a single-stranded molecule that is complementary to a gene’s DNA. 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.

RNA Therapeutics: A Novel Approach to Treating Diseases

Roots Analysis

Coding RNAs include messenger RNA (mRNA) and short interfering RNA (siRNA), which encode proteins and silence gene expression, respectively. In the last few years, researchers have become interested in using in vitro transcribed (IVT) mRNA as a drug delivery agent. RNA therapeutics offer several advantages over small molecules.
