The popularity of mRNA-based therapeutics has surged over the past few years. To ensure the safety of these treatments, scientists need to analyze the characteristics of the manufactured molecules, ...
SMRTS, a smart mRNA system, enables cell‑selective gene expression, expanding the mRNA toolbox for precision cancer therapies.
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 ...
In recent years, mRNA technology enabled the rapid development of vaccines to fight COVID-19, saving millions of lives. That same mRNA-powered approach to medicine—in which synthetic mRNA is ...
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 ...
A Stanford-led study probes why a very small number of people develop heart inflammation shortly after mRNA COVID-19 ...
Stanford scientists have uncovered how mRNA COVID-19 vaccines can very rarely trigger heart inflammation in young men — and ...
