proteins. Cells use mRNA to get those specs out of hard DNA storage and into their protein-making factories. The mRNA inside Pfizer and BioNTech's vaccine directs any cells it reaches to run a coronavirus spike-building program. The viral proteins these cells produce can't infect any other ...
After the arduous fight against the pandemic, humans have enormously wrapped up their capacity to develop and produce vaccines. So we should be in a position when another pandemic comes along, which inevitably will, whether it’s a coronavirus or a flu virus or some other virus, perhaps one ...
