JUNE'S BEST FEATURED EDITORIAL

Order, Chaos, And The mRNA Black Box: Takeaways From The USP/AMM Forum

To be clear, this year’s USP/AMM quality forum was just as focused on the intricacies of applying/using the methods. But what was equally if not more present in this year’s discussion was our increasing acknowledgement that our understanding of mRNA and its biological mechanisms remains quite messy.

Why Chemoenzymatic Ligation Is A Non-Negotiable Step For Future siRNA Production

Is the future of RNA manufacturing fully enzymatic? In this Advancing RNA Live clip, panelists Claire MacCleod and Jill Caswell unpack why the "hybrid" chemoenzymatic approach is an essential bridge to an enzymatic future for siRNA production. 

What Is Holding Us Back From Enzymatic siRNA Production Today?

In this Advancing RNA Live clip, CPI’s Claire MacCleod shares the biological and logistical hurdles currently keeping full enzymatic production of siRNA at bay.
