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 ...

Caltech scientists have developed a new type of vaccine that works like a hybrid of mRNA and protein nanoparticles. In tests in mice, the prototype produced five times more antibodies than existing ...

Nucleic acid-based therapeutics, including antisense oligonucleotides (ASO), small interfering RNA (siRNA), messenger RNA (mRNA), immunomodulatory DNA/RNA, and gene-editing guide RNA (gRNA), hold ...

Messenger RNAs (mRNAs) possess unique properties making them great therapeutic candidates. However, delivering mRNA drugs to target cells is challenging. Protein nanocages (PNCs) are nanostructures ...

In the fast-evolving field of medical science, a new artificial intelligence model may be about to change the way mRNA-based drugs and vaccines are designed. Developed through a collaboration between ...

Within a cell, DNA carries the genetic code for building proteins. To build proteins, the cell makes a copy of DNA, called mRNA. Then, another molecule called a ribosome reads the mRNA, translating it ...

Every winter, Austin gets walloped by cedar fever: runny noses, scratchy throats, watering eyes, and canceled plans as ...

Bayer's agrochemicals unit Monsanto has filed lawsuits in the US against the manufacturers of mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccines, ...

Researchers at Penn Medicine have developed an mRNA vaccine that could potentially cure allergies by stopping allergens from ...

The study examined 180 patients with advanced lung cancer who received a COVID vaccine within 100 days before or after beginning immunotherapy, as well as 704 similar patients who did not. Vaccinated ...
