mRNA: A New Technology Moving into the Mainstream
Messenger RNA (mRNA) technology is based on the idea that human cells can be used as on-demand factories to develop therapeutic proteins by giving them instructions in the form of mRNA. Although mRNA therapeutics and vaccines could be found in drug development pipelines before Covid-19 emerged, the pandemic suddenly moved the mRNA technology into the limelight.
Now, the world has seen mass vaccinations using mRNA-based vaccines developed by Moderna and Pfizer/BioNTech. But the mRNA technology holds promise for other indications as well, including cancer and rare diseases. Read on to learn how this new technology is moving into the mainstream with an influx of investments and new discoveries.
