Messenger RNA vaccines, or mRNA, differ from traditional ones. Instead of growing a virus and weakening it to allow the body to engage its natural defenses, mRNA vaccines use pieces of genetic code to ...

Scientists figured out how to harness that natural process by making mRNA in a lab. They take a snippet of that genetic code that carries instructions for making the protein they want the vaccine to ...

Following the criticism of mRNA vaccine strategies by federal leaders, UNC Health's Dr. David Wohl shared why he supports the ...

Messenger RNA, or mRNA, is a code that tells the body’s cells to produce just a piece of the virus, the protein on the surface. The code is protected by a lipid coating, like a fat bubble. mRNA ...

This week, President Donald Trump called Operation Warp Speed, a public-private federal program that helped speed up the ...

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.

The government has canceled nearly $500 million in research grants into the revolutionary technology, which experts believe ...

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services will cancel contracts and pull funding for some vaccines that are being ...

A team of scientists in Germany has successfully developed and tested the first mRNA vaccine against foot-and-mouth disease ...

The code is protected by a lipid coating, like a fat bubble. mRNA vaccines: RFK Jr. to wind down $500M vaccine development ...
