The commercial success of RNA vaccines for COVID-19 has revved up interest in circular RNAs as the next generation of therapies. This is because linear RNA molecules have a fleeting existence inside cells-which is not a problem for it’s function as vaccine, but for other therapeutic applications longer existence is preferable. This is where the circular RNAS come in.

Between this and that thing I read about them adding dna to glass to make it stronger and lighter than steel, it seems like it’s time for the NA’s to shine.
Until someone develops a thermo nucleic acid bomb.
That dna to glass sounds very interesting. Could you maybe link the article?
This was a very interesting read. I wouldn’t have ever dreamed of combining DNA with glass. Very interesting to think that a biological material like DNA can be potentially used for making materials like vehicles and devices. Nanotechnology can be crazy. It will be exciting if something like this ever gets commercialised.
