Gene Therapy and Drug Discovery Offer Hope for Polycystic Kidney DiseaseGene Therapy and Drug Discovery Offer Hope for Polycystic Kidney DiseaseResearchers have discovered that a single normal copy of a defective gene can prevent the formation of dangerous cysts in polycystic kidney disease (PKD). This finding opens up the potential for gene therapy to treat the disease. Additionally, a glycoside drug has been found to bypass the effects of the defective gene. The study, funded by the NIH, could lead to new therapeutic approaches for PKD, a life-threatening inherited kidney disorder.

The Role of Erythropoietin in LNP-Mediated mRNA Drug DiscoveryThe Role of Erythropoietin in LNP-Mediated mRNA Drug DiscoveryErythropoietin (EPO) is a glycoprotein hormone produced naturally in the kidneys, stimulating red blood cell creation. LNP-mediated mRNA drugs utilize lipid nanoparticle (LNP) technology to deliver modified mRNA into cells. Human EPO plays a role in LNP-mediated mRNA drug discovery by serving as a carrier for mRNA in drug development.
