Messenger RNA carries genetic information from DNA in the highly protected nucleus out to the rest of the cell, where structures called ribosomes can build proteins according to the DNA blueprint.

Sean Ryder, professor at UMass Chan Medical School, has written a book to delve the mysteries of ribonucleic acid as a tool to fight diseases. Messenger ribonucleic acid, or mRNA, is in the public ...

A commonly used strategy in the development of messenger RNA (mRNA) medicine is based on the destruction of disease-causing mRNA. Achieving the opposite and stabilizing health-promoting mRNA is still ...

Ask a friend what DNA is and, chances are, they have a general idea. Seventy years after scientists discovered the two-stranded helix, DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is widely understood as the keeper of ...

Over the last few years, scientists and entrepreneurs have flocked to developing medicines that target RNA, the genetic blueprint that cells in our bodies use to make proteins. RNA has been in the ...

A new study has found that receiving messenger RNA-based COVID-19 vaccines such as those from Pfizer (NYSE:PFE)/BioNTech (NASDAQ:BNTX) and Moderna (NASDAQ:MRNA) could boost the survival rates of ...
