As a result, researchers are striving to continually improve immuno-oncology approaches using the patient’s own immune cells to combat tumours. Although immunotherapy has revolutionised cancer therapy, the effectiveness of currently available immunotherapies varies significantly across patients and treatment types.

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.
