Researchers from the International Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology in Warsaw (IIMCB) have described a new mechanism ...

How do mRNA vaccines work? mRNA vaccines teach the immune system to target specific proteins, often proteins found on a pathogen, like a virus. To do this, they use instructions carried in a ...

However, mRNA itself is an exceptionally unstable molecule. This does not affect the safety of the therapy but limits its ...

Researchers have discovered that mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccines have a persistent effect on the innate immune system. These mechanisms may help the human body to better protect itself against ...

Immunization technology using mRNA is not like vaccines of the past ... it is quickly degraded by certain enzymes. But recent advances in nanotechnology led to a major innovation: mRNA could ...

It makes enzymes that help digest food and hormones ... our latest results continue to support the approach of using ...

The mRNA would first need to be reverse transcribed into DNA, which is not possible without the help of an enzyme called ...

Federal support for mRNA vaccine research appears in jeopardy after KFF Health News reported Sunday that officials at the National Institutes of Health have directed scientists to remove all ...

A vaccine kept patients free of pancreatic cancer for years, yet new reports say the NIH is advising against mentioning mRNA tech in grants.

mRNA technology is the basis for COVID- and other vaccines and could play a role in cancer treatment. Already, researchers across several fields, including LGBTQ+ health and gender identity ...

mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccines induce not only acquired immune responses but also persistent epigenetic changes in innate immune cells, specifically monocyte-derived macrophages.
