Dec 10, 2025 · An mRNA vaccine is a type of vaccine that uses a synthetic version of a molecule known as messenger RNA (mRNA) to instruct cells in the body to produce a protein that trains the immune …

Aug 6, 2025 · Research that helped develop mRNA vaccines won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2023. Members of the scientific community are criticizing Kennedy for his decision. How …

3 days ago · Messenger RNA (abbreviated mRNA) is a type of single-stranded RNA involved in protein synthesis. mRNA is made from a DNA template during the process of transcription.

Aug 2, 2025 · Messenger RNA (mRNA) is a fundamental molecule in biological systems. It functions as a single-stranded nucleic acid, similar to DNA but containing uracil instead of thymine. mRNA acts as …

Apr 11, 2025 · mRNA vaccines teach the immune system to target specific proteins, often proteins found on a pathogen, like a virus. To do this, they use instructions carried in a genetic molecule called...

Most vaccines contain a weakened or dead bacteria or virus. However, scientists have developed a new type of vaccine that uses a molecule called messenger RNA (mRNA) rather than part of an actual …

Jul 18, 2024 · Messenger RNA, or mRNA, exists in all cells in our bodies and has for millions of years. Just as its name suggests, it acts as a messenger to the cell's machinery that makes proteins, giving …

Dec 10, 2025 · COVID-19 — and, less frequently, the mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccine — can cause inflamed heart tissue in some people. A new study implicates a pair of substances secreted by …
