Having an mRNA COVID vaccine will not make your body produce new tumour-fighting T cells. What it might do, based on this ...

Messenger RNA carries genetic information from DNA in the highly protected nucleus out to the rest of the cell, where structures called ribosomes can build proteins according to the DNA blueprint.

Scientists have discovered that some tiny segments of RNA thought to be junk instead have a functional role in suppressing production of certain messenger RNAs and appear to help cells respond to ...

During translation, messenger RNA guides protein production, and certain conditions can favour particular proteins. Helicase enzymes and mRNA structure control translation during defence responses in ...

Researchers found that COVID-19 mRNA vaccines significantly increased survival in lung and skin cancer patients undergoing ...

In a recent study posted to the bioRxiv* preprint server, researchers describe a novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) spike protein component vaccine called MT-001, which ...

UNLV scientists successfully introduced nanoparticles with messenger RNA into the pancreas for the first time with 99% accuracy.

Proteins sourced from microorganisms are attracting attention for their potential in biomanufacturing a variety of products, ...

Infectious disease experts predict another coronavirus pandemic in the future, so we need to be prepared. That will require both basic research to devise improved vaccines, including "universal" ones ...

A new study, led by researchers at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP), identified tiny pieces of messenger RNA that are missing in pediatric high-grade glioma tumors but not in normal brain ...

Scientists have discovered a wild treatment that they say could protect astronauts from the copious amounts of space radiation they’d be exposed to during trips into deep space. In an effort to find ...
