A new artificial intelligence model can improve the process of drug and vaccine discovery by predicting how efficiently specific mRNA sequences will produce proteins, both generally and in various ...

mRNA (red) is transported from the cell nucleus to the cytosol though a nuclear pore in complex with several proteins (white), including a helicase, Tap and Rae1, which interacts with the nucleoporin ...

The mass-produced COVID-19 vaccines built using the mRNA model – which were rapidly manufactured during the global pandemic – could also help the immune system recognise and attack cancer tumours, new ...

In two experiments, researchers have found that introducing people to "mental models" about how mRNA vaccination works and how the body protects itself from foreign DNA can preemptively or reactively ...

In cancer treatments, the results were just as striking. In an animal model of melanoma, an mRNA cancer treatment delivered with C-a16 lipids shrank tumors three times more effectively than the same ...

NPR's Steve Inskeep talks with epidemiologist Michael Osterholm about a Trump administration decision to end funding for research into vaccines that fight respiratory viruses like COVID-19 and the flu ...
