South Korean researchers have, for the first time in the world, uncovered how messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) vaccines enter human cells, function inside the body, and are blocked by certain ...

RIKEN researchers have discovered how an enzyme modifies gene expression by targeting certain stretches of messenger RNA ...

A team of researchers led by Dr. Kim V. Narry, director of the Center for RNA Research at the Institute for Basic Science (IBS), has uncovered a key cellular mechanism that affects the function of ...

A complex molecular machine, the spliceosome, ensures that the genetic information from the genome, after being transcribed into mRNA precursors, is correctly assembled into mature mRNA. Splicing is a ...

Genome-wide CRISPR knockout screens to identify cellular regulators of LNP-based mRNA vaccines. mRNAs encoding Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP) were in vitro transcribed (IVT) and delivered to knockout ...

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 ...

WASHINGTON (AP) — So-called mRNA vaccines saved millions of lives during the COVID-19 pandemic — and now scientists are using that Nobel Prize-winning technology to try to develop vaccines and ...

The same groundbreaking technology that enabled rapid COVID-19 vaccine development is now poised to revolutionize medicine in ways that seemed impossible just a few years ago. Messenger RNA vaccines ...

Can the weakened immune systems of older individuals be rejuvenated? Researchers from the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ), the HI-STEM institute, and the Broad Institute have demonstrated that ...
