In Vivo's Biggest Threat — Comparison To Old Models

In vivo CAR-T is not simply ex vivo without a manufacturing step. It is a different modality that relies on biological systems to regulate outcomes. In this discussion, the functions of in vivo and ex vivo enmesh to show how their designs complement each other.

How Modality Maturity, Delivery, And Data Will Reshape RNA Therapeutics

As RNA therapeutics mature, 2026 will reward execution over novelty. Delivery, data-driven design, and modality specialization will determine which RNA platforms scale clinically and commercially. With modalities diversifying and data collection more accessible, evidenced-informed decision making is crucial to navigate industry changes.
