Experimental RNA drug TY1 repairs DNA and restores tissue

sciencedaily.com

Experimental RNA drug TY1 shows significant DNA repair capabilities, potentially restoring injured tissue and reducing scarring. The synthetic RNA molecule boosts the body's natural DNA repair system by enhancing the TREX1 gene, which helps clear damaged DNA, aiding recovery after injuries like heart attacks. This discovery, built on decades of research into heart progenitor cells and exosomes, represents a new class of drugs called exomers and may lead to treatments for various conditions.
