Design Improvements in mRNA Medicines Beyond Their Genetic Code

Updated

Abstract

Messenger RNA (mRNA) has rapidly emerged as a transformative therapeutic modality with applications in infectious diseases, oncology, and genetic disorders.

  • Chemical programmability of mRNA enables the introduction of synthetic modifications across various regions of the molecule.
  • Recent advances in topological engineering are influencing RNA stability, immune response, and translation efficiency.
  • Innovative synthesis strategies are being developed for linear, circular, and branched mRNA structures.
  • Understanding structure-activity relationships is crucial for optimizing translation efficiency, decay rates, and immune activation.
  • There is a growing interest in the implications of engineered mRNA for next-generation therapeutics.
