"The shape of the curve is what matters. Not their origins."
Small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) are short, double-stranded RNA molecules that play a key role in the RNA interference (RNAi) pathway, a natural process used by cells to regulate gene expression and defend against viruses.

In the world of genetic medicine, RNA therapeutics stand out for their versatility and precision in targeting and modulating gene expression.

RNA therapeutics hinge on a remarkably elegant concept: rather than permanently altering the DNA within a cell's nucleus, these therapies temporarily adjust what proteins are produced by cells.

RNA, or ribonucleic acid, is an essential molecule in the synthesis of proteins and the regulation of gene expression. It acts as the messenger that carries instructions from DNA for controlling the synthesis of proteins, which are essential for all living cells and viruses.

Has biotech’s access to specialized, tacit knowledge improved?

While it is true that much of biotech R&D relies on tacit knowledge, the sector has evolved mechanisms to codify and share this knowledge more effectively than ever before.

Has biotech successfully created a modular, integrated network for drug development?

The biotech industry has become much more modular over the last two decades rather than vertically integrated.
