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.

How did pharma develop a vaccine so quickly?

World of DTC Marketing

Both the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines copied RNA sequence from the virus genome and found a way to manufacture it at scale with high-level processes and quality control. First, a novel approach was used that didn’t require traditional vaccine production in cell cultures or eggs. 1455NO-HEALTH-CORONAVIRUS_VACCINES_PFIZER_O_.

Study reveals how ribosomes are assembled in human cells

Scienmag

All cells need ribosomes to make the proteins necessary for life. These multi-component molecular machines build complex proteins by stitching building blocks together according to instructions encoded in the cell’s messenger RNAs. Before they can manufacture proteins, these subunits must be manufactured […].
