Also known as: mRNA therapies
Scientists have developed multiple breakthrough delivery systems for gene editing and mRNA therapies, including a simple amino acid supplement that increases delivery 20-fold and a CRISPR gene drive that reverses antibiotic resistance in bacterial populations.
Scientists have developed two breakthrough approaches to dramatically enhance gene editing and mRNA therapy delivery: a simple amino acid supplement that increases CRISPR efficiency to nearly 90 percent, and a self-replicating CRISPR system that spreads between cells like a virus.
UCLA scientists developed a lipid nanoparticle-based gene editing system that successfully inserts a full-length healthy CFTR gene into human airway cells, offering potential treatment for cystic fibrosis patients unresponsive to current therapies.
The mRNA therapy market is forecast to grow from USD 13.6 billion in 2025 to USD 70.0 billion by 2035 at a 17.8% CAGR, driven by expanding applications beyond vaccines into oncology, rare diseases, and infectious disease treatments including genital herpes.
