NCRIS Turbo-Charges New mRNA Drugs

Therapeutics that use mRNA are a growing area of development and work by introducing the ‘’message” to make a therapeutic protein into the patient’s body, instead of the protein itself. This approach can revolutionise combatting many kinds of cancers, and for treating genetic and infectious diseases. Conventional strategies deliver mRNA drugs to tissues inside lipid […]
