The usage of messenger RNA (mRNA) as novel active ingredient has attracted public attention in recent years, and it has become clear that it has profoundly changed biotechnology. How did this come about?
RNA, especially mRNA, has shown its capability to catalyze the development of advanced therapeutics, including engineered proteins, next-generation vaccines, and novel pharmaceuticals, whereby its versatility is unmatched, with its potential applications spanning infectious diseases, oncology, and rare genetic disorders. Besides the platform's inherent adaptability, its scalability facilitates rapid production and deployment, particularly critical during pandemic responses or personalized pharmaceuticals.
These properties streamline the preclinical and clinical development phases, accelerate the path from laboratory to bedside and make mRNA an extremely valuable drug with great potential that has not yet been exhausted.
Usage of RNA as new active ingredient represents a paradigm shift in modern medicine. Especially the deployment of mRNA vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 has underscored their transformative potential in vaccinology. What are the main components and what are the advantages?

What's dampening the GLOBAL AMR BATTLE?
Although there have been significant national and worldwide efforts to provide financial incentives for antibiotic research and development, it is still unclear how best to fortify the existing programmes to further spur antibiotic innovation. The incentive programmes in place now are a crucial first step in enhancing the economic viability of antibiotic development. However, it seems like there isn't enough global coordination among all the programmes, which could lead to duplication of effort, funding gaps in the value chain, and the failure to include crucial AMR objectives. Let's dig deeper.
