Taking an ‘upside-down’ approach to mRNA delivery

pharmaphorum

Once its potential as a means of stimulating an immune response had been established, attention quickly turned to where else the technology could provide a therapeutic solution. As it stands, mRNA vaccines and therapeutics can only provide benefits if they can reach the living cells and be processed into protein.

How mice with humanised immune systems are advancing cell-based immunotherapy

Drug Discovery World

Immunotherapies have become more popular due to their ability to trigger and train the patient’s immune system to recognise and attack tumour cells, provide strong immune responses, and reduce the severity of adverse side effects generally associated with chemotherapies. Jespersen et al.
