An easy method for efficiently identifying proteins that interact with bioactive molecules has been developed by chemical biologists at RIKEN. This innovation, published in ChemBioChem, could help to ...

How many mRNA vaccines have been approved? So far, the only mRNA vaccines to be approved by the FDA are the coronavirus vaccines produced by Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna.

Flanking the protein-encoding sequence on the same mRNA strand are instructions that dictate the location and timing of mRNA translation.

Normally, multiple ribosomes bind to a single mRNA strand simultaneously. However, in certain situations, when the mRNA is damaged, two ribosomes can collide while translating the mRNA.

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

Here, the mRNA sequence is decoded in the process of translation into an amino acid sequence, the basic building blocks of proteins, and synthesized into amino acid chains. SKI complex: consists of ...

mRNA-based drugs are setting themselves apart from conventional protein therapeutics in cell and gene therapy, vaccine, and gene editing arenas. As scientists develop and manufacture novel mRNA ...

Messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines have been crucial to containing and controlling the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic. Advances in self-amplifying RNA technology promise to make them even more cost ...

> "Comb-structured mRNA" has been developed as a technology to incorporate the action of immune-activating adjuvants into mRNA, to demonstrate its efficacy against cancer vaccines in animal models ...

Researchers discovered a previously unknown function of RNA, potentially opening the door to new ways to treat cancer and neurodegenerative diseases.

This year’s Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine has been awarded to Katalin Karikó and Drew Weissman for their work on mRNA vaccines, a crucial tool in curtailing the spread of Covid-19.

mRNA vaccines train the immune system in a similar way to traditional vaccines, but they use a different strategy to get there.
