mRNA is the central molecule of all forms of life. It is generally accepted that current life on Earth descended from an RNA world. mRNA, after its first therapeutic description in 1992, has recently come into increased focus as a method to deliver genetic information.

mRNA-Based Protein Replacement Therapy for the Heart [PDF]
Myocardial infarction (MI) and heart failure (HF) are the leading causes of death in the United States and in most other industrialized nations. MI leads to a massive loss of cardiomyocytes (CMs), which are replaced with non-CM cells, leading to scarring and, in most cases, HF. The adult mammalian heart has a low intrinsic regenerative capacity, mainly

Polymer‐Based mRNA Delivery Strategies for Advanced Therapies
AbstractMessenger RNA (mRNA)‐based therapies offer great promise for the treatment of a variety of diseases. In 2020, two FDA approvals of mRNA‐based vaccines have elevated mRNA vaccines to global recognition. However, the therapeutic capabilities of mRNA extend far beyond vaccines against infectious diseases.

The ReNAissanCe of mRNA-based cancer therapy
About 25 years ago, mRNA became a tool of interest in anticancer vaccination approaches. However, due to its rapid degradation in situ, direct application of mRNA was confronted with considerable skepticism during its early use. Consequently, mRNA was for a long time mainly used for the ex vivo transfection of dendritic cells, professional antigen ...
