Professor Hirohide Saito and his research team have developed a new microRNA-responsive hybrid mRNA switch, enabling precise, ...

Circular mRNA, enhanced by an internal cap structure, can produce up to 200 times more protein than traditional methods, offering a stable and efficient translation process.

To build proteins, cells rely on a molecule called transfer RNA, or tRNA. tRNAs act like protein-building couriers, where ...

The elephant vaccine closely resembles other mRNA vaccines made for humans. mRNA packed in lipid nanoparticles carries ...

Liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) has emerged as a major organizing principle in cells. Recent work showed that multiple components of integrin-mediated focal adhesions, including p130Cas can form ...

This week, mRNA vaccines are set to face intense scrutiny from critics in Congress. Here's an explainer of how we know they are safe and effective.

Protein factories in the cells then take instructions from the mRNA and manufacture a protein like the one found on the surface of a Covid-19 virus. Your body recognizes that protein as foreign ...
