he has started publicly attacking the safety of the mRNA vaccines that his research helped to enable. Malone says, for instance, that proteins produced by vaccines can damage the body’s cells and that the risks of vaccination outweigh the benefits for children and young adults — claims that ...
It's actually you. Because the human body has amazing powers to both prevent and cure disease by making its own medicines. You just need to know what medicine to make. And that's what your vaccine gave you. Simply a set of instructions for how to...

Messenger RNA (mRNA) has emerged as a promising therapeutic molecule with numerous clinical applications in treating central nervous system disorders, tumors, COVID-19, and other diseases. mRNA therapies must be encapsulated into safe, stable, and effective delivery vehicles to preserve the cargo from...
Moderna has made nearly as much news for its stream of upbeat press releases, executives’ stock sales, and spectacular rounds of funding as for its science. Each is well-aware of the other in the race to be first. But what the companies share may be bigger than their differences: Both ...
In most organisms, DNA provides the instructions for making mRNA. Since researchers have alreadypublished the genetic code for the omicron spike protein, all that’s left to do is make a DNA template for the spike protein that would be used to produce the mRNA...
So, what has this got to do with vaccines and how does mRNA play a role in this new mRNA vaccine technology? When you become infected with a new pathogen for the first time, you become ill because your immune system doesn’t have natural defenses against it. If you are lucky enough to...
mRNA vaccines bypass that entirely, forcing your cells to manufacture the antigen themselves. On paper, it sounds innovative. But here’s the harsh reality: your body wasn’t designed to be a factory for synthetic proteins. Your immune system has developed as a highly complex network, shaped ...
So ... What’s the Catch? Florian Gaertner//Getty Images If mRNA is so great, has “spectacular” initial findings for effectiveness at preventing transmission of COVID-19, and works so cleverly, then why are we hesitating? Well, how something performs in a clinical trial, where circums...
Transcription RNA (tRNA) has three bases specific for a particular amino acid with which it binds to messenger RNA (mRNA). This specific area of tRNA is called the a. anticodon b. codon c. axon d. intron e. transposon What type of RNA carries ea...
