Abstract

Messenger RNA (mRNA) therapeutics have transitioned into a clinically validated therapeutic platform.

  • mRNA therapeutics were previously considered experimental but have shown clinical validation.
  • The use of mRNA therapeutics was notably accelerated by their application during the COVID-19 pandemic.
  • Interest in mRNA therapeutics has expanded to potential applications beyond just infectious diseases.
