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. Non-coding RNAs include antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) and RNA aptamers.

Clinical Catch-Up: January 4-8 | BioSpace

The Pharma Data

INZ-701 is a soluble, recombinant protein containing the extracellular domain of native human ENPP1 fused to the Fc domain of the immunoglobulin IgG1. ILP100 is a genetically engineered Lactobacillus that acts as a small bioreactor on site in the wound, continuously introducing a chemokine, CXCL12, into the wound tissue.

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

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.

Gene Switch: A Novel Platform for Switching Genes On and Off

Roots Analysis

Further, the expression of any gene is dependent on the rate at which it is transcribed into mRNA and translated into proteins. There are various regulatory proteins or transcription factors that are responsible for affecting the transcription rate. When activator binds to the operon, it either speeds up or permits gene expression.
