It seems like #mRNA vaccines have finally cracked the challenging Flu B strains, paving the way for widespread adoption. While earlier mRNA flu vaccines were highly effective against A strains their efficacy against B strains fell short. Now reconfigured vaccines from first Moderna and now GSK (partnered with CureVac ) have demonstrated non-inferiority to conventional flu vaccines. Given the scalability and rapid manufacture enabling rapid adaptation to seasonal strains, it's not hard to envision mRNA capturing a large section of Flu market in the near future. https://lnkd.in/gpt4ayMC

A-RNA 2024 Day 3! Dr Laura Leighton from BASE’s Research Team presented on the delivery of mRNA therapeutics in liver disease and cancer. Her talk was followed by an engaging QnA session, discussing about in vivo liver cancer model for testing mRNA therapeutics. The BASE team had a great time in Melbourne, enjoying all the discussions on mRNA design, our synthetic production approach, LNP formulation capabilities, potential new projects and collaborations, as well as great coffee ☕️. 🧬 Natasha Chaudhary, PhD Rachel Yoon Chang

We had a great start to the A-RNA Conference today in Melbourne. It is inspiring to see all the progress in the RNA research space across Australia and New Zealand. Drop by our table and connect with Rachel Yoon Chang and Natasha Chaudhary, PhD to discuss how we can help support your mRNA and LNP research. Also, stay tuned for Laura Leighton ’s talk on Wednesday!

We are excited to share our latest research in bioRxiv, introducing a novel method for targeted mRNA delivery. Bettina D. , Timothy Mercer and Seth Cheetham from BASE's Research Team used bispecific antibodies (BsAbs) to link mRNA-LNPs to specific cell surface markers in collaboration with James Humphries , Christopher Howard and Kristofer Thurecht . This technology has the potential to enable more precise and effective mRNA therapies. Key advantages: 💡 Innovative Delivery: BsAbs were used to target cell-surface proteins, retaining the original properties of the LNPs for better delivery. 💡 Targeted Action: Demonstrated effective, cell-type-specific targeting of EGFR and PSMA positive cells both in vitro and in vivo. 💡 Flexibility: This approach allows for easy adaptation by changing the cell-targeting region of the BsAbs, enabling rapid development of next-generation targeted mRNA drugs.
