Scientists Will Test a Cancer-Hunting mRNA Treatment

A podcast discusses the potential of messenger RNA (mRNA) as a targeted treatment for cancer. They explore Strand Therapeutics' innovative approach to programming mRNA to activate only in certain cell types and discuss the ongoing clinical trial testing this treatment in cancer patients with solid tumors. Additionally, they delve into the use of synthetic mRNA to activate the immune system against tumor cells and the testing of localized mRNA effects directly injected into tumors.
