New bacterial mRNA vaccine technology shows promise in fighting plague, and could help address the global threat of ...

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.

Furthering its goal to grow the reach of its mRNA vaccines and guard against future pandemics, Moderna cleared a key regulatory hurdle at its flagship production plant in the United Kingdom. The U ...

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 ...
