This preclinical study with a LNP-formulated, modified mRNA vaccine demonstrates 100% survival and higher protective antibody titers than previously observed with viral vector vaccines.

Results in non-human primates characterize the response of immune-suppressive cells to vaccination, expanding our understanding of the mechanisms underlying vaccine immunogenicity versus reactogenicity.

This research demonstrates that LNP-formulated mRNA vaccines can induce protection against viral placental and fetal damage in mouse models, critical for vaccines against viruses that exhibit vertical transmission.

This in vivo research demonstrates that a mRNA vaccine encoding components of a subviral particle can prevent disease.

This review highlights the potential for RNA cancer immunotherapies, including mRNA applications in cancer vaccines and immune modulation.

Local delivery of mRNA encoding the secreted cytokines IL-23 and IL-36γ and the membrane-bound T-cell co-stimulator OX40L induced a broad immune response promoting tumor regression in both injected lesions and distant un-injected tumors in mice.

Data from a Phase 1a/b study of mRNA encoding for vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A) shows tolerability, protein expression and protein pharmacology in human subjects and its potential for use as a regenerative therapeutic.

In mouse models, the intradermal administration of mRNA encoding for VEGF-A can induce a localized, sustained, and reproducible biological response, including blood vessel formation and oxygenation to accelerate diabetic wound healing.

This foundational paper establishes that direct injection of modified mRNA in mice can induce local physiological changes and could be an effective approach for regenerative therapeutics.

Rapid onset of effect with mRNA therapeutics is demonstrated in the acute setting, imparting hepatic enzymatic activity with repeat dosing in small and large animals.

Non-human primate and rodent studies demonstrate tissue-targeted mRNA translation and mitigation of potential off-target effects through the use of microRNA binding sites.

This study suggests that direct injection of LNP-formulated mRNA may be a valuable tool in the study of developmental biology given transfection of distinct tissues in a developing vertebrate embryo.

This research focuses on the mechanism of LNP endosomal escape, highlighting opportunities to increase LNP potency by improving the efficiency of escape.

This study explores the impact of folding energetics on mRNA secondary structure, contributing toward structure prediction and design of mRNA therapeutics.
