Site-specific chemical and topological modifications to augment mRNA therapeutic potential by Aditham, Abhishek J.

“…We show that mocRNAs are subject to slower deadenylation and enhance therapeutic protein expression in cell lines and primary cell cultures. We expanded on this technology by creating mRNAs with chemically branched poly(A) tails, or multitail mRNAs, which increase the density of modifications at the 3’ end of mocRNA and further stabilize mRNA against deadenylation. …”
