The most common side effects of mRNA vaccines like the COVID-19 shot are well known: soreness, mild fever, and general ...

RNA vaccines saved millions of lives during COVID-19 but have limitations like waning immunity and complex production. Scientists are now testing a new platform called DoriVac, which uses folded DNA ...

Researchers at the University of California, Davis and the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge, U.K. have solved the the structure of the complex formed when mRNA is being scanned to find ...

Engineers at the University of Pennsylvania have built a lipid nanoparticle that chemically fuses an IDO-pathway inhibitor with the very lipids that carry IL-12 mRNA into tumors, creating a single ...

Imagine a cancer treatment that precisely targets malignant cells, leaving healthy ones untouched. Consider, also, a cancer treatment that corrects abnormal protein synthesis to produce healthy ...

Messenger Ribonucleic Acid (mRNA) vaccines gained global recognition during the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, proving their value through rapid development, high efficacy, and broad ...

We asked experts about how the technology works, its safety and its potential in medicine. By Nina Agrawal Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has repeatedly questioned the safety of mRNA vaccines ...

Researchers are redesigning lipid nanoparticles to do more than shuttle mRNA into cells, with preclinical studies suggesting engineered particles can influence immune metabolism in ways that may ...
