About this episode

This episode discusses the potential of mRNA therapy for treating liver inherited metabolic diseases with insights from experts in the field.

mRNA therapy is emerging as a serious therapeutic platform for liver inherited metabolic diseases. In this episode, James Nurse speaks with Sonam Gurung and Julien Baruteau about their JIMD paper exploring how mRNA can be used for protein replacement, how lipid nanoparticles help target the liver, and where this approach may complement gene therapy, transplantation and standard care. A clear look at a rapidly evolving field. Delivering the Message: Translating mRNA Therapy for Liver Inherited Metabolic Diseases Sonam Gurung, et al https://doi.org/10.1002/jimd.70078
