Circular Genomics: Innovative RNA Solutions to Lead a New Era in Mental Health
RNA, often referred to as the “messenger molecule,” plays a crucial role in regulating gene expression and cellular function. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are single-stranded, covalently closed RNA molecules found across species ranging from viruses to mammals. They are highly stable, enriched in the brain, and crucial for brain development and function. Notably, circRNAs can cross the blood-brain barrier and remain in the blood long enough for testing via blood draw. By focusing on circRNAs, researchers can identify specific brain-derived biomarkers linked to mental health conditions, enabling the development of highly precise diagnostic tools for earlier and more reliable condition identification
In this dynamic field of biotechnology, where most circRNA-focused companies pursue therapeutic strategies, Circular Genomics stands out as an innovator. Unlike other companies in this space, this company specializes in diagnostic applications. Its unique approach leverages circRNA biomarkers to create advanced diagnostic tools specifically designed to revolutionize mental health care assessment and understanding.
