World RNA Day: What impact RNA it had on drug discovery?  

Drug Discovery World

1 August was first chosen as World RNA Day in 2018 as a play on AUG (adenine, uracil and guanine), a triple sequence of RNA (called a codon) that initiates protein synthesis by the cell. Since then, it has been observed to publicise the importance of this molecule in the generation of proteins in the body.

RNA Therapeutics: A Novel Approach to Treating Diseases

Roots Analysis

RNA therapeutics are a novel class of biopharmaceuticals that harness the power of RNA molecules for the treatment and prevention of a wide range of disorders, including oncological, and genetic disorders as well as infectious diseases. These therapeutics are broadly classified into two categories, namely coding RNAs and non-coding RNAs.
