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 ...
How do immune cells strike a balance, unleashing rapid attacks against pathogens or cancer, while avoiding damage to healthy ...
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 ...
Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai built an mRNA system that switches on therapeutic genes preferentially in targeted cells for greater precision and safety. [New York, NY ...
Cancer cells have softer membranes than healthy cells. New nanoparticles exploit this physical difference to fuse selectively ...
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 ...
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 ...
