Here is a summary of today's reframe:
- Dialysis Protocol
A gentler, “as‑needed” dialysis schedule helped ICU patients with kidney failure come off dialysis sooner, requiring fewer treatments and resulting in faster recovery.
- Hepatitis B Cure Sign
Adding an investigational small‑interfering RNA (elebsiran) to interferon led to higher rates of functional cure for chronic hepatitis B in a phase 2 study.
- Improved mRNA Delivery
Scientists developed new, degradable ionizable lipids that deliver mRNA more effectively, which could mean lower doses and better tolerability for vaccines.
- Long-Lasting mRNA
A chemical boostkept base‑modified mRNA stable for longer in lab models, potentially extending how long mRNA therapies work, meaning patients need fewer doses.
