A team led by Neil King, a biochemistry professor at the University of Washington School of Medicine, is now exploring a new ...

Many people first learned about mRNA vaccines during the coronavirus pandemic, when the companies Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna released their COVID-19 vaccines. The Pfizer-BioNTech shot was the first ...

Messenger RNA, or mRNA, vaccines work by instructing a small number of a person’s cells to make specific proteins. In the case of the approved mRNA vaccines for COVID-19, the cells make spike protein ...

In the fast-evolving field of medical science, a new artificial intelligence model may be about to change the way mRNA-based drugs and vaccines are designed. Developed through a collaboration between ...

Katalin Karikó and Dr. Drew Weissman, American scientists whose long collaboration has revolutionized the making of vaccines and raised the prospect of new treatments for a range of afflictions, were ...

STOCKHOLM (AP) — Two scientists won the Nobel Prize in medicine on Monday for discoveries that enabled the creation of mRNA vaccines against COVID-19 that were critical in slowing the pandemic — ...

DURHAM, N.C. -- Living things from bacteria to plants to humans must constantly adjust the chemical soup of proteins -- the workhorse molecules of life -- inside their cells to adapt to stress or ...

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have discovered how cells can adjust their gene activity to survive when oxygen runs low ...

New research has shown that nanobody treatments that block PD-L1 can reduce tumor growth by about 50% in cancers that don't ...

Most vaccines contain an infectious pathogen or a part of it, but mRNA vaccines deliver the genetic instructions for our cells to make viral or bacterial proteins themselves. Our immune system ...

Dr. Drew Weissman, left, a physician-scientist, and biochemist Katalin Karikó won the Nobel Prize in medicine for discoveries that enabled the creation of mRNA vaccines against COVID-19 and that could ...
