The Nobel Committee has awarded the 2023 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine to Katalin Karikó and Drew Weissman for their pioneering work in the development of mRNA vaccine technology, which made ...

The mRNA specifies, in triplet code, the amino acid sequence of proteins; the code is then read by transfer RNA (tRNA) molecules in a cell structure called the ribosome.

Dr. Drew Weissman, along with his research partner Katalin Karikó, changed the course of the Covid-19 pandemic by developing the mRNA vaccine platform. Now, the pair have been awarded a Nobel Prize.

Katalin Kariko and Drew Weissman discovered a key step toward making mRNA vaccines, leading to the COVID-19 vaccine and the Nobel Prize.

The unprecedented success of mRNA Covid vaccines is raising hopes that the technology could lead to new and better vaccines against cancer. ... the roughly 1% of the genome known to code for protein.

It might seem far-fetched, but self-replicating mRNA drugs that come with a built-in "copy machine" could lead to therapies that are safer and more effective.

To overcome the inherent challenge of translation termination interference caused by stop codon reprogramming in mammalian cells, researchers from Peking University led by Chen Peng from College of ...

Over the last several days, the safety and efficacy of messenger RNA, or mRNA, vaccines have come under intense scrutiny. On Tuesday, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced plans to limit ...
