mRNA for Antibody Manufacturing

In collaboration, Charles River Lab and Vernal Biosciences released this scientific poster. Since its release, new advancements have been made and new data is available to share. Join the webinar on December 12 to dive into this new data and hear from the researchers directly. 

Clinical Trial: mRNA COVID-19 & Influenza Vaccines

A randomized clinical trial found that the simultaneous administration of mRNA COVID-19 and inactivated influenza vaccines has similar safety and reactogenicity compared to sequential administration. These findings support offering both vaccines at the same time, providing a convenient option for patients without added risk.

Versatile Tool for Tracking RNA Dynamics

This study shows that to study RNA biology in vivo, researchers have developed a bioluminescent platform using RNA tags that recruit luciferase fragments, enabling sensitive imaging without the limitations of fluorescence. This method allows single-copy RNA detection in cells and live animals, providing a versatile tool for tracking RNA dynamics at various scales.



LNPs Enhanced Immune Cell Infiltration

This article showcases the challenges glioblastoma (GBM) immunotherapy faces due to its tumor-friendly microenvironment, but LNPs carrying TLR agonists like pIpC show promise. These formulations activate immune cells, enhance cancer cell phagocytosis, and improve survival in models, suggesting potential for GBM treatments when optimized with other therapies like temozolomide or immune checkpoint inhibitors.
