The evolution of the RNA therapeutics landscape 

Drug Discovery World

For decades, the life sciences community held the belief that RNA was merely the intermediary messenger (mRNA) between DNA and protein, a dogma that has been the foundation of biology. By silencing transthyretin (TTR) mRNA, patisiran decreases the production of TTR protein, the molecule responsible for causing the disease.

The future outlook for mRNA therapies

Drug Discovery World

The biggest growth driver for mRNA therapeutics came from the Covid-19 pandemic, when mRNA-based vaccines proved effective in treating SARS-CoV-2, and pharmaceutical companies such as Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna were successful in bringing these treatments to market. We believe it can now do the same for rare diseases.” “We
