Some genetic mutations that are expected to completely stop a gene from working surprisingly cause only mild or even no symptoms. Researchers in previous studies have discovered one reason why: cells ...

Researchers uncovered how cells coordinate genetic compensation when faulty mRNA is degraded. Small RNA fragments act as sequence “addresses” that recruit ILF3 to activate related backup genes.

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 ...

Researchers have used an experimental mRNA therapy to make old immune cells in mice behave as if they were young again, reversing key signs of immune aging in a way that standard vaccines or drugs ...

Since addressing the COVID-19 pandemic, mRNA vaccines have risen as a promising tool for treating a broad range of diseases, such as cancer and genetic disorders. To be effective, foreign mRNA in ...

The same groundbreaking technology that enabled rapid COVID-19 vaccine development is now poised to revolutionize medicine in ways that seemed impossible just a few years ago. Messenger RNA vaccines ...
