Regenerative Medicine related mRNA Development Service

Regenerative Medicine

The field is focused on addressing unmet clinical needs in chronic diseases and traumatic injuries where the body's natural healing response is insufficient. This includes myocardial infarction, non-healing bone fractures, end-stage organ failure (liver, kidney), and neurodegenerative disorders. The goal is to introduce biological materials that actively promote self-repair.

Case Study

The conventional lentiviral method for iMPC production carries risks, making mRNA delivery a safer alternative. Researchers designed plasmids for in vitro transcription, containing the mouse MyoD coding sequence flanked by a T7 promoter, 5' UTR, α-globin gene 3' UTR, and poly-A tail. Stability is enhanced via ARCA capping, a 120 bp poly-A tail, and replacement of uridine/cytidine with pseudouridine-5'-triphosphate and 5-methylcytidine-5'-triphosphate. Post-transfection, transfection efficiency is observed via fluorescence microscopy, relevant markers are detected by immunofluorescence staining, and single-cell RNA sequencing is used to characterize the dedifferentiation process of iMPCs.

FAQs

1. How does the purity of your mRNA affect my in vivo regenerative study outcomes?

High purity, specifically the rigorous depletion of dsRNA (double-stranded RNA), is paramount. Contaminant dsRNA strongly activates the innate immune response, which can lead to mRNA degradation, translational shutdown, and undesirable inflammation at the target site. Our ultra-pure mRNA ensures minimal immune interference and maximizes the duration and potency of your therapeutic protein expression. Contact us to see our QC data showing industry-leading dsRNA depletion.

2. My target is the brain/heart, not the liver. Can your LNP platform achieve targeted delivery to non-hepatic tissues?

Yes, this is a core area of our specialized R&D. We move beyond generic LNPs by engineering custom cationic lipids and surface chemistries that favor uptake in non-hepatic tissues. For localized delivery (e.g., direct myocardial injection), our formulations are optimized for retention and endosomal escape in target cells like cardiomyocytes and fibroblasts. Tell us your target organ, and we can discuss specific LNP candidates for improved tropism.

3. What is the main benefit of using your modified mRNA for iPSC generation compared to traditional virus-based methods?

The main benefit is safety. Viral methods carry a permanent risk of genomic integration and potential tumorigenicity due to the stable expression of oncogenic factors. Our modified mRNA provides the necessary transient expression pulse for successful reprogramming, then safely degrades, eliminating the risk of genomic alteration and significantly streamlining regulatory approval pathways. Ask our team for our white paper on non-viral iPSC generation efficiency.

4. How do you ensure the therapeutic protein expression lasts long enough to induce a regenerative effect, given that mRNA is transient?

We ensure sufficient expression longevity through a combination of engineering strategies: (1) Nucleoside Modification (m¹Ψ, N1-methylpseudouridine) to suppress nucleases and immune detection, and (2) Optimized UTRs and Poly(A) Tail Lengths that extend the mRNA's translational half-life. This ensures a powerful, sustained therapeutic window (often 24-72 hours, depending on the cell type) necessary for initiating complex biological cascades like tissue remodeling. Let us know your required expression window to optimize your sequence.

5. My current mRNA supplier uses ARCA capping. Is Creative Biolabs' approach significantly different or better?

While ARCA is functional, we utilize and optimize Cap 1 structures and proprietary methods that achieve demonstrably higher capping efficiency and resistance to decapping enzymes. This directly translates to more efficient translation initiation and overall higher protein yield per transcript, giving your therapeutic a significant potency advantage over standard Cap 0 or less-purified ARCA products. Inquire today for a head-to-head comparison of translational activity.
