RNA interference
Novartis announced positive phase III efficacy study results for inclisiran as a treatment for heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HeFH) and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD).
2019
RNA interference
FDA and EMA approve givosiran for treating adults with acute hepatic porphyria (AHP).
2019 EteRNA launched the OpenRibosome project in collaboration with the Jewett Lab at Northwestern University, focusing on enhancing the folding of modified Escherichia coli ribosomes using the iSAT cell-free ribosome construction platform. The project involves players designing 16S and 23S sequences, which are being evaluated through four feedback-based iterations to reengineer ribosomes as molecular machines capable of synthesizing unique polymers.
