Further, the acceptance of new mRNA vaccines has rejuvenated activity within previously established categories of RNA therapeutics including lifesaving antisense technologies. These include antisense oligonucleotides (ASO), RNA interference (RNAi), and RNA aptamers.
The Drug Controller General of India (DCGI) has added in-vitro diagnostic (IVD) medical devices including those for diagnosis of Covid-19, ribonucleic acid (RNA) and deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) extraction kits, among others into the Class C risk category under the Medical Devices Rules (MDR), 2017.
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.
Biotechnology company Ochre Bio has raised $30m in a Series A financing round to develop RNA therapies for chronic liver diseases. It also intends to turn the insights from its research into RNA-based drug candidates, and they will be tested in human livers at the company’s recently opened ‘Liver ICUs’ in the US.
The alliance hands Lilly an RNA-based therapy in preclinical testing for ALS and frontotemporal dementia, and includes a research collaboration to develop other, similar medicines.
With RNA therapies being the next hot thing in genetic medicine, Eli Lilly is joining the RNA editing race by partnering with Netherlands-based ProQR Therapeutics NV (Nasdaq: PRQR), a biotech company developing RNA-based therapies for rare genetic diseases with a focus on blinding disorders of the retina.
Perhaps popularized by the COVID-19 vaccines, RNA-based technologies now have the potential to become the next best pesticide to combat crop pests, like insects and fungal pathogens. Over the last year, researchers have been studying the effectiveness of RNA-based pesticides, and there are already a handful of sprays in the works.
Discover how genomics is transforming cancer research through the study of DNA, RNA, and ctDNA. Learn about the latest breakthroughs in the field in this insightful short read.
ReviR Therapeutics has signed a research collaboration and option-to-license agreement with Asieris Pharmaceuticals to discover new oncology therapeutics. The company’s VoyageR AI platform integrates computational methods to drug traditionally undruggable RNA targets.
Credit: Surajit Chatterjee To better understand how RNA in bacteria gives rise to protein–and along the way, target these processes in the design of new antibiotics–researchers are turning their attention to the unique way this process happens in bacteria.
The companies said that patients treated with their experimental drug BIIB080 had reductions in a protein called tau, which research indicates is tied to Alzheimer's but isn't yet proven to impact the course of the disease.
A new agreement with the Australian government will bring messenger RNAresearch and manufacturing capabilities to the country, adding to the COVID-19 vaccine developer’s global expansion efforts.
In-vitro studies conducted at the British virology research laboratory Virology Research Services in London then demonstrated a potent antiviral activity against SARS-CoV-2 and other RNA viruses. The trial was conducted at.
A team led by scientists at the University of Birmingham has come a step closer to uncovering the purpose of a distinctive set of modifications found at the beginning of messenger RNA which have long remained a fundamental mystery in molecular biology. Messenger RNAs (mRNAs) are vital for protein production.
Research into single-cell sequencing has been boosted with Single Cell Discoveries and BioTuring joining forces to refine the process. A rapidly growing field of research, single-cell RNA sequencing is vital for those working in areas such as oncology, immunology, and neuroscience.
A research team led by scientists from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) has revealed how secondary structure RNA elements control the cleavage activity of the DICER enzyme in both pre-miRNA and short-hairpin RNAs, improving the understanding of the DICER cleavage mechanism and providing a foundation for the design of accurate (..)
Ipsen is looking to deepen its expertise in movement disorders in a research collaboration with Skyhawk Therapeutics to develop small molecule drugs for RNA targets in neurological diseases.
LA JOLLA, CA—Scientists at Scripps Research have unveiled a new software tool for studying RNA (ribonucleic acid) molecules, which have a host of critical roles in organisms.
Our bodies burn carbohydrates, proteins, and fat for fuel, and now, researchers at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard and the University of Lausanne have discovered another important energy source for cells: uridine, the chemical building block unique to RNA.
Following a string of deals in edgy, unproven fields of scientific research, Vertex's latest diversification push involves chemical-based drugs that target RNA — an approach that's already attracted several large pharmas.
The company will jointly design and analyse messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) Covid-19 vaccines in partnership with the NIH unit National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases’ Vaccine Research Center (VRC). They intend to develop vaccines that provide lasting immune responses compared to existing vaccines.
