Long known as a messenger within cells, RNA is increasingly seen as life’s molecular communication system — even between organisms widely separated by evolution. For a molecule of RNA, the world is a ...

Exsilio says it will use lipid nanoparticles and messenger RNA (mRNA) to integrate whole genes into “safe harbors” in the genome, building off of mobile genetic elements, or genetic material ...

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

After one dose of mRNA, about 40 percent of lung epithelial cells were transfected, the researchers found. Two doses brought the level to more than 50 percent, and three doses up to 60 percent ...

Consequently, effective disease-modifying treatments are generally lacking. Aberrant messenger RNA (mRNA) translation is implicated in a range of neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer ...

But the RNA alters those instructions along the way. One way to turn a particular gene on or off is by attaching a small molecule called a methyl group to the messenger RNA. This change, known as ...

Oregon State University College of Pharmacy scientists have demonstrated in animal models the possibility of using lipid nanoparticles and messenger RNA, the technology underpinning COVID-19 ...

For the first time, messenger RNA technology — the advance that undergirds the most commonly used coronavirus vaccines — has been shown effective against a deadly form of skin cancer ...

The unprecedented speed with which we developed vaccines to help us control and curb the Covid-19 pandemic is in large part thanks to years of research on messenger RNA (mRNA) technology.

A new study has discovered an unprecedented pathway producing telomerase RNA from a protein-coding messenger RNA (mRNA). For the very first time, a study led by Julian Chen and his group in ...

The nearly 17 million Americans who received the one-shot Johnson & Johnson coronavirus vaccine are less protected against serious illness and hospitalizations than those who got the Pfizer ...

Here is the latest news from the pandemic. Hungarian biochemist Katalin Kariko is on the awards circuit. She’s been feted by the World Health Organization, painted onto the side of a building in ...
