Cells in the body have to move around in order to do their jobs. During development, for instance, cells are distributed to create and grow tissue. And in the event of an immune response, different ...

A trio of mRNA molecules could help guard against the harmful effects of aging on immune cells, a study in mice finds. A new ...

Messenger RNA, or mRNA, vaccines work by instructing a small number of a person’s cells to make specific proteins. In the case of the approved mRNA vaccines for COVID-19, the cells make spike protein ...

Many people first learned about mRNA vaccines during the coronavirus pandemic, when the companies Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna released their COVID-19 vaccines. The Pfizer-BioNTech shot was the first ...

While using mRNA as medicine is new, mRNA has been inside you for your entire life. The cells in your body create mRNAs that serve as instructions to make specific proteins you need to function.

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 ...

Clemens Plaschka is the 2024 winner of the Eppendorf Award for Young European Investigators. Group Leader at the Institute of Molecular Pathology in Vienna, Austria, his work has shed light on the ...

mRNA molecule, illustration. [Kateryna Kon/Science Photo Library/Getty Images] Messenger RNA (mRNA) has already transformed medicine, most notably through COVID‑19 vaccines that taught cells to act as ...

Michael Mitchell, an associate professor of bioengineering at the University, is developing novel lipid nanoparticles that can deliver mRNA inside human cells, which could pave the way for therapies ...

One of the most well-studied cellular responses is how they react during times of stress, such as when the temperature gets ...

These ubiquitous "messengers" copy instructions from DNA and relay them to other locations in the cell — namely, to protein-construction sites where the complex molecules that do most of the work in ...

Published, peer-reviewed research shows a patent-pending, virus-mimicking platform technology developed at Purdue University ...
