A "Hot Take" On mRNA Critical Process Parameters

Bushwacking up a trailless mountain — as many of us may feel we’re doing today with the development of our mRNA therapeutics — is bound to be accompanied by its fair share of drama. These dynamics became increasingly apparent to me as I listened to a presentation unpacking the results of a BioPhorum benchmarking survey on CPPs for plasmid linearization, mRNA drug substance, and mRNA drug product production.

An mRNA Wish-List: What Regulatory Developments Would Make Life “Easier?”

Three regulatory experts share the topics on which they hope to see further agency clarification in the near-term to help mRNA products make meaningful progress toward/through the clinic.

CRISPR-Cas Genome Editing For Rejuvenation Of Aging Stem Cells

As stem cells age, their regenerative capacity declines due to accumulated genetic and epigenetic changes. Using CRISPR-Cas, scientists can directly edit these changes or modulate aging-related pathways.
