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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Two hurdles mRNA drugs face are a short half-life and impurities that trigger immune responses. BlackJack3D/iStock via Getty Images Plus Vaccines have been reliably and affordably protecting people ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
