In a new study, published in Cell, researchers describe a newfound mechanism for creating proteins in a giant DNA virus, comparable to a mechanism in eukaryotic cells. The finding challenges the dogma ...

The brain's ability to carry out everything from forming memories to coordinating movement depends on its cells producing the right proteins at the right time.

The brain's ability to do everything from forming memories to coordinating movement relies on its cells producing the right proteins at the right time. But directly measuring this protein production, ...

The recent downturn follows Moderna’s announcement that its melanoma vaccine, mRNA-4157, showed promising results in a Phase 2b study, reducing the risk of recurrence or death by 49% when combined ...

In a small clinical trial, customized mRNA vaccines against high-risk skin cancers appeared to reduce the risk of cancer recurrence and death by nearly 50 percent over five years when compared with ...

A virus relies on the host's translation machinery to replicate itself and become infectious. Translation efficiency partially depends on the usage of a codon, or sequence of three nucleotides, that ...

In a Phase 3 trial of more than 18,000 volunteers across three countries, an mRNA influenza vaccine from Pfizer has outperformed standard seasonal flu shots by 34.5%. It's yet another sign that this ...

Pfizer has released the full data from its phase 3 trial of an mRNA flu vaccine candidate, with the potential new shot demonstrating 34.5% greater efficacy compared to a control vaccine. Of 9,225 ...

TORONTO – Messenger RNA (mRNA) therapeutics hold significant promise for the future of personalized cancer treatment, but persistent off-target effects and treatment-resistant tumour microenvironments ...

COVID-19 mRNA vaccines create enough of an immunity boost to extend survival in certain types of lung and skin cancers, an analysis of more than 1,000 patient files showed. The scientific journal ...

The COVID-19 mRNA-based vaccines that saved 2.5 million lives globally during the pandemic could help spark the immune system to fight cancer. This is the surprising takeaway of a new study that we ...

The mRNA covid-19 vaccines seem to have an unexpected benefit: extending the lives of people being treated for cancers by boosting the effectiveness of immunotherapy. An analysis of the records of ...
