This week, mRNA vaccines are set to face intense scrutiny from critics in Congress. Here's an explainer of how we know they ...

MRNA technology is already used in Moderna’s and Pfizer/BioNTech’s currently licensed COVID-19 vaccines, which have been found to be safe and effective.

In that vaccine, which must still undergo clinical testing, the mRNA code is slightly changed to match the genetic code of the new strain of the virus, but the LNP formulation remains the same.

Late-stage trial data suggest that a new COVID-flu vaccine offers good protection against both infections, but experts expect ...

Researchers aimed to develop tools to create novel mRNA sequences — ones that code for viral proteins, for example — in the lab, and then introduce those mRNA molecules into cells. The cells would ...

This technology may also speed up drug development timelines. It’s possible to devise the genetic code for an mRNA vaccine within days or weeks, compared to the years that developing a traditional ...

These vaccines consist of strands of mRNA that code for specific viral proteins. Say you get a Covid-19 vaccine. The strands of mRNA, packaged into tiny fat particles, go into your muscle and ...

In bacterial mRNA, the 5' UTR is normally short ... and termination factors are used, the genetic code is generally identical. As previously noted, in bacteria, transcription and translation ...

Judy Boyle, House Bill 154 was introduced Feb. 15 in the House Health & Welfare Committeeand would ban all mRNA technology in the state. If passed, the Idaho state code would be amended so that ...

The vaccines use mRNA, a piece of genetic code, to try to instruct cells in your body to make a protein that may trigger an immune response. Coincidentally, at this time, BioNTech co-founder and CEO ...
