If you're so healthy Gopher why don't you get a job?

There was an old lady that lived down the street from me growing up. She probably weighed 400lbs. She didn't believe in cholesterol or generally anything from the medical industry because her husband was also fat and lived into his late 80s. She also lived into her late 80s so I guess being ignorant her whole life actually paid off.


I'm not a doctor but I stayed at a holiday inn express and have read your post. I dub the Methuselah
Any word about a meet up?

Here's an up-to-date summary of recent advances (2024-2025) in mRNA research:

Key Advances
[ol]
  • Improved mRNA sequence/design using AI and machine learning
    • New models like RNop optimize mRNA for multiple objectives (fidelity of amino acid sequence, codon adaptation, tRNA availability, secondary structure) and do so with much greater computational efficiency. arXiv
    • Helix-mRNA is a foundation model that handles full mRNA sequences (not just coding regions), including UTRs, with long sequences and fewer parameters. It improves predictive performance for translation, stability, etc. arXiv
    • Equi-mRNA is a model that explicitly encodes synonymous codon symmetries (i.e. that different codons can encode same amino acid) to improve predictions of expression, stability, etc. arXiv
  • New vaccine platforms and antigen design
    • Researchers at University of Pittsburgh / Penn State proposed a "trans-amplifying" mRNA vaccine format, where the antigen and replicase are on separate mRNAs. Because the replicase component can be produced/prepared in advance, this can reduce costs/dose and increase speed. In mice, this induced strong responses to many SARS-CoV-2 variants. University of Pittsburgh Health Sciences
    • There is also work to identify "consensus" antigen sequences that cover many viral variants, to improve breadth of immunity. University of Pittsburgh Health Sciences
  • Therapeutic applications beyond vaccines
    • Delivery of mRNA to make cells act like "long-lasting drug factories." For instance, engineering mRNAs with signal peptides so that the produced protein is secreted into the blood, extending the therapeutic effect vs. standard injections. Shown in mice for disease models such as psoriasis and cancer. NIBIB
  • Cancer vaccines and personalized mRNA immunotherapy
    • There are over 120 clinical trials underway for RNA-based cancer vaccines. MDPI
    • One example: mRNA-4157 (Moderna) combined with pembrolizumab in melanoma showed a 44% reduction in recurrence risk vs. checkpoint inhibitor alone. MDPI
    • Platforms are getting faster: manufacturing personalized vaccines is becoming more rapid. MDPI
  • Delivery system and nanoparticle / LNP improvements
    • There is active work in improving lipid nanoparticle (LNP) carriers (better targeting, actives that reduce side effects, more efficient delivery) as well as exploring other delivery systems (such as polymer-based nanoparticles, exosomes, etc.) GlobeNewswire
    • AI is being used to optimize both the mRNA components and the delivery vehicle design. For example, Everest Medicines has an AI + mRNA platform, with optimized third-generation sequence models and lipid libraries, applying them to both cancer and autoimmune disease vaccine/therapeutic programs. PR Newswire+1
  • Regulatory / manufacturing improvements
    • In vitro transcription (IVT) processes are being refined to improve yield and purity (especially reducing double-stranded RNA contaminants, which can trigger unwanted immune responses). GlobeNewswire
    • Manufacturing time for personalized cancer vaccines is dropping (from ~9 weeks down to under ~4 weeks in some settings). MDPI
  • New or expanded clinical trials / approvals
    • Zapomeran (self-amplifying mRNA vaccine against SARS-CoV-2) has been approved in Japan and the EU. It's one of the first approved self-amplifying mRNA vaccines. Wikipedia
    • Clinical trial progress in norovirus vaccines (Moderna's mRNA-1403 / Nova 301) is underway. The Guardian+1
    • mRNA candidates for influenza, RSV, and other respiratory viruses are progressing. Moderna News+1
  • Emerging modalities
    • Self-amplifying mRNA (saRNA) and trans-amplifying RNA (taRNA) are being pursued to allow use of lower doses, longer persistence, potentially lower cost. MDPI+2GlobeNewswire+2
    • Circular RNAs (circRNA) are being explored in some settings because of potential for greater stability. MDPI
  • Structural prediction / folding / secondary structure advances
    • Long-sequence folding of mRNA (secondary structure) remains challenging computationally. New methods combining quantum-centric optimization and classical post-processing are being tested. E.g. quantum sampling methods to handle folding for longer mRNA sequences. arXiv

    I just think it's so cute that you think calling me Gopher is a dig. I could pinch your little punkin' cheeks!
