Wondering why you should ✍ our petition? c.org/nDnRNSsVcq

In @aai.org, founder @drshrutinaik.bsky.social reveals why the coalition was formed, why NY needs a state-backed research institute, and how scientists should organize for systemic support — here and nationwide.

🧬 mRNA has emerged as a powerful new class of therapeutic molecules—extending far beyond vaccines to cancer immunotherapy, protein replacement, and gene editing.

🧩 But designing mRNAs with strong, lasting protein expression remains a major challenge.

Our new review in @natbiomedeng.nature.com is out!
RNA-loaded lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) have huge potential—but their strong liver and immune cell uptake has mostly confined them to vaccines and liver therapies. We explore how to move beyond those limits.

The BIGGEST impact you can have with 1 minute today ⏱️

Add your name to show NY is ready for a statewide biomedical institute.

CA’s CIRM & TX’s CPRIT proved it works—billions returned, jobs created, cures accelerated. Let’s do even better for New York.

📝NEW STUDY📝 Cancer's first punch when battling the immune system may be rewiring myeloid progenitors in bone marrow so they become suppressive tumor macrophages blunting T-cell attacks. Find out how in @nature.com from @samhegde.bsky.social & @miriammerad.bsky.social 🧐 www.nature.com/articles/s41...
