mRNA Synthesis: ManufacturingProcess of Modern Revolutionary Molecule

Roots Analysis

Messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) is a single-stranded molecule, which carries coding sequence and plays a prominent role in protein synthesis. It transfers genetic information form to DNA to ribosomes, a specialized structure, or organelle, which decodes genetic information into a protein.

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.

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. ASOs are short single-stranded nucleotides that bind to specific messenger RNAs and prevent the production of a particular protein.
