A new artificial intelligence model can improve the process of drug and vaccine discovery by predicting how efficiently specific mRNA sequences will produce proteins, both generally and in various ...

A new vaccine provides hope for treating and even preventing the highly contagious and difficult-to-treat Clostridioides difficile infection, more commonly known as C. difficile or C. diff. In animal ...

In two experiments, researchers have found that introducing people to "mental models" about how mRNA vaccination works and how the body protects itself from foreign DNA can preemptively or reactively ...

The mass-produced COVID-19 vaccines built using the mRNA model – which were rapidly manufactured during the global pandemic – could also help the immune system recognise and attack cancer tumours, new ...

mRNA (red) is transported from the cell nucleus to the cytosol though a nuclear pore in complex with several proteins (white), including a helicase, Tap and Rae1, which interacts with the nucleoporin ...

mRNA vaccines saved lives during the COVID-19 pandemic, but older people had less of an immune response to the vaccines than did younger adults. Why? Boston Children's researchers, led by Byron Brook, ...

The localization of mRNA is crucial for the synthesis of functional proteins and plays a significant role in cellular processes. Understanding mRNA localization can enhance applications in disease ...

mRNA vaccines work by delivering genetic instructions into cells, but a new study shows that which cells express the mRNA can alter the resulting immune response. A new study in Nature Biotechnology ...

A new study shows that a biomedical tool can successfully deliver genetic material to edit faulty genes in developing fetal brain cells. The technology, tested in mice, might have the potential to ...
