Amino Acid Mix Supercharges Lipid Nanoparticle Delivery for mRNA and CRISPR Therapies

Scientists have discovered that a simple mix of three amino acids can greatly improve how well lipid‑nanoparticle (LNP)–based therapies work in the body. These LNPs are tiny fat‑like packages used to carry mRNA or CRISPR components into cells, and they are already at the heart of new vaccines and gene‑editing treatments. The new finding suggests […]

PROSTest: Blood mRNA Assay Predicts 177Lu-PSMA Success in mCRPC After One Cycle

A study presented at the 2025 Society of Urologic Oncology (SUO) Annual Meeting has introduced PROSTest, a novel blood-based mRNA assay that accurately predicts treatment outcomes for 177Lu-PSMA radioligand therapy in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) patients. The multi-center investigation analyzed 268 PET-positive mCRPC patients from centers in Munster, Basel, and Essen, all with median […]

mRNA-based COVID-19 Vaccines Improve Immunotherapy Outcomes?

At the 2025 ESMO Congress, interesting data was presented showing that mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccines significantly improve outcomes for cancer patients undergoing immunotherapy. This large retrospective study, conducted by MD Anderson Cancer Center in collaboration with the University of Florida, analyzed clinical data from over 1,000 patients with various types of cancer treated between 2019 and […]
