COVID prompts another milestone, as India clears first DNA vaccine

pharmaphorum

The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the development of mRNA-based vaccines, and its influence has now extended to DNA-based shots as well, with Zydus Cadila’s ZyCoV-D getting emergency use authorisation in India. Proponents of the approach claim that DNA vaccines may have advantages over other technologies like mRNA.

mRNA Therapeutics and mRNA Vaccines Industry: Current Scenario and Future Trends

Roots Analysis

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