Messenger RNAs – a promising class of new therapeutic biologics
As messenger RNAs (mRNAs) are easier to deliver into cells than plasmids or viral vectors, they are useful for non-dividing cells. Inversely to the vectors, they ensure genome integrity that is recommended for cell therapeutics. mRNA are also well adapted to transient expression as required for cellular reprogramming, gene editing, and vaccines.
You might like to take a look at this poster, presented by Trilink (renowned modified nucleic acid experts) at the Keystone symposia last March (Pattern Recognition Signaling: From Innate Immunity to Inflammatory Disease). They share results on how to optimize messenger RNA for therapeutic activity.
