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 ...

KAIST researchers have developed a method that attaches DNA fragments to mRNA to slow the onset of protein production, ...

In a recent study published in Nature, a group of researchers explored how the incorporation of N1-methylpseudouridine (1-methylΨ) into messenger ribonucleic acids (mRNAs) affects ribosomal ...

Aside from maybe high school biology classes, the first time many people heard of mRNA was during the pandemic because of the ...

LNP as the novel drug delivery system enhancing mRNA therapeutic efficacy has been proved for its delivery ability. This review provides valuable insights into the current state-of-the-art of LNP mRNA ...

Adding a photocopier gene to mRNA vaccines could make them last longer and curb side effects. This article first appeared in The Checkup, MIT Technology Review's weekly biotech newsletter. To receive ...

RNA, widely known from the COVID-19 vaccine, is not actually a “therapeutic agent,” but a technology that delivers the ...

Vaccines that resemble viruses generally produce a stronger immune response, while mRNA versions are much quicker and cheaper to make. Now we are getting the best of both worlds, in the form of mRNA ...

The United States may be losing its edge in mRNA technology­­. The technology, which powered life-saving COVID-19 vaccines and is now rocketing new cancer therapeutics forward, will soon undergo a ...

While mRNA vaccines trigger potent initial immune responses, emerging data suggest they do not generate durable plasma cells, ...
