New listicle: Five tips on scaling up IVT for mRNA production

Drug Discovery World

The success of messenger RNA or mRNA vaccines in the fight against the global SARS-CoV-2 crisis brings a new era of vaccine development. In vitro transcription, or IVT, is a complex reaction, requiring key components like an RNA polymerase, nucleotides, and a DNA template to make each mRNA.

Transforming Biomanufacturing: Potential of Cell Free Systems

Roots Analysis

Overview of Cell Free Systems Cell-free systems are ­in-vitro platforms which allow occurrence of biochemical reactions in the absence of living cells. These expression systems utilize bio machinery harvested from the lysate of disrupted cells for the manufacturing of a wide array of macromolecular and small molecule products.

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.
