Merck and Orna partner for RNA technology-based vaccines and therapies

Pharmaceutical Technology

Merck (MSD outside North America) has entered a partnership agreement with Orna Therapeutics for discovering, developing and marketing various programmes based on next-generation RNA technology. By self-circularisation, Orna’s oRNA technology makes circular ribonucleic acids (oRNAs) from linear RNAs.

FDA-approved drug sensitises brain cancer cells to radiotherapy

Drug Discovery World

This action sensitised GBM cells to radiotherapy both in vitro and in vivo (in mouse models). “Our research has revealed cladribine as a radiosensitiser for GBM treatment by drug repurposing, which can offer multiple advantages,” says Prof Youn. “As GBM is a WHO grade IV brain tumour with dismal prognosis.

Taking an ‘upside-down’ approach to mRNA delivery

pharmaphorum

As it stands, mRNA vaccines and therapeutics can only provide benefits if they can reach the living cells and be processed into protein. The intracellular barriers include endosomal escape, RNA sensors, and endonucleases. The intracellular barriers include endosomal escape, RNA sensors, and endonucleases.
