Therapies involving mRNA, a key to Covid vaccines, hold great potential in treating several diseases, but some lawmakers want to ban them and the government is cutting funding.

Two Republican Idaho lawmakers last week introduced a bill that would criminalize the administration of mRNA vaccines across the state. Co-sponsored by state Sen. Tammy Nichols and Rep. Judy Boyle ...

Engineered mRNA has turned cells into tiny biofactories, producing medications to successfully treat an inflammatory skin condition and two types of cancer, according to a new study. The tech ...

But the self-amplifying mRNA shot did elicit antibodies in a greater percentage of people than Comirnaty. And a month out, antibody levels against Omicron BA.4/5 were higher in people who received ...

Because it is so easy to change the mRNA recipes, cancer vaccines can be part of a personalized medicine plan where doctors sample a patient’s tumor, sequence key genes and adjust the mRNA ...

mRNA is something of a middleman – it’s a small, single-stranded molecule that carries instructions from our DNA that tell the machinery in our cells, known as the ribosomes, what protein to ...

Compared with nonamplifying linear mRNA, amplifying mRNA contains an additional sequence that encodes the replicase. For instance, the replicase sequence in the VEEV-encoded RNA has a length of up to ...

COVID vaccines have shown us the potential of mRNA technology. Siyanight/Shutterstock This paved the way for mRNA COVID vaccines which instruct our cells to make spike proteins, proteins on the ...

Scientists hope to leverage mRNA for a bevy of vaccines and therapeutics. Hello again from The Checkup! This week the Nobel Committee for Physiology or Medicine honored two scientists whose ...
