How does the cell convert DNA into working proteins? The process of translation can be seen as the decoding of instructions for making proteins, involving mRNA in transcription as well as tRNA. But ...

The new findings strengthen the "RNA world" hypothesis that describes how the first life on Earth could have used RNA instead ...

In the fast-evolving field of medical science, a new artificial intelligence model may be about to change the way mRNA-based drugs and vaccines are designed. Developed through a collaboration between ...

Within a cell, DNA carries the genetic code for building proteins. To build proteins, the cell makes a copy of DNA, called mRNA. Then, another molecule called a ribosome reads the mRNA, translating it ...

Messenger RNAs (mRNAs) possess unique properties making them great therapeutic candidates. However, delivering mRNA drugs to target cells is challenging. Protein nanocages (PNCs) are nanostructures ...

A trio of mRNA molecules could help guard against the harmful effects of aging on immune cells, a study in mice finds.

Researchers found a way to boost aging immune systems by turning the liver into a temporary source of immune support signals ...

This article explores limitations of chemical synthesis in high-throughput settings and the technical advantages enzymatic ...

Moderna, a leader in mRNA medicine, developed one of the earliest COVID-19 vaccines, with Spikevax being its first commercial product. The company's mRNA platform enables the development of ...

With the possibility of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. being involved in health policy in the next administration, vaccination – especially mRNA vaccines – will become a hot topic. Is there anything to fear ...
