How does a cell know when it’s been damaged? A molecular alarm, set off by mutated RNA and colliding ribosomes, signals ...

Valued at $13 billion by market cap, Cambridge, Massachusetts-based Moderna, Inc. (MRNA) operates as a clinical-stage ...

New messenger RNA vaccines to fight the coronavirus are based on a technology that could transform medicine. Next up: sickle cell and HIV. On December 23, as part of a publicity push to encourage ...

A Pennsylvania Representative is looking to ban testing mRNA vaccines on domestic animals. Representative Jacob Banta (R-Erie ...

The elephant vaccine closely resembles other mRNA vaccines made for humans. mRNA packed in lipid nanoparticles carries ...

Messenger RNA, or mRNA, transfers information held in genes to the ribosome, where cellular proteins are made. Each of our cells carries tens of thousands of different mRNAs, which give rise to a ...

In the spotlight for its role in COVID-19 vaccines – and a Nobel Prize – mRNA is not a new invention. It’s a crucial messenger molecule at work every day in every cell in your body.

The biotechnology company’s messenger RNA flu vaccine candidate showed positive results in a late-stage trial.

Messenger RNA (mRNA) is a subtype of RNA. An mRNA molecule carries a portion of the DNA code to other parts of the cell for processing. mRNA is created during transcription.

To build proteins, cells rely on a molecule called transfer RNA, or tRNA. tRNAs act like protein-building couriers, where ...
