The quest for a vaccine against HIV has been going on for about 40 years — almost as long as the virus that causes AIDS has ...

The mRNA platform enabled scientists to begin work on a vaccine within days of the publication of COVID-19’s genetic sequence. Clinical trials for an mRNA vaccine began weeks la ...

The ability to correct disease-causing genetic mistakes using genome editors holds great promise in medicine, but it is not ...

The cuts risk making the world a more dangerous place. To assess the impact of these measures, The Economist spoke to more ...

Federal funding cuts to mRNA technology research doesn't just impact COVID vaccines — experts say it could stall progress in ...

Researchers identified messenger RNA that is missing in pediatric high-grade glioma tumors but not in normal brain tissues.

The ability to correct disease-causing genetic mistakes using genome editors holds great promise in medicine, but it is not without risk. When this type of "genetic surgery" is performed on DNA, for ...

DNA’s chemical cousin, RNA, was the messenger that carries DNA instructions from the double helix in the cell’s nucleus to ...

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. During the ...

A new study, led by researchers at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP), identified tiny pieces of messenger RNA that ...
