Scientists have created an artificial RNA system that can copy itself using simple building blocks and temperature changes.

A strategy that analyzes the structural properties of RNA could help identify regions that are promising targets for antiviral drugs.

The innate immune system is the body's first line of defense against pathogens and foreign substances. An essential component ...

An influenza vaccine candidate from Moderna showed promising results in a late-stage trial, bringing the drug maker one step ...

The mRNA metabolism passively shapes the levels of an mRNA modification called m6A within a steady-state cell and upon stress.

The structure and functions of metal–organic cages are heavily dependent on the nature of the building blocks. Herein, a dimethyl-substituted propane diamine blocked cis-Pd(II) acceptor (A) was ...

Researchers develop a self-regulating mRNA medicine that adjusts protein production based on disease-related signals. A research team from The University of Osaka and Institute of Science Tokyo ...

Scientists have discovered the internal shape of tiny drug-delivery particles – called lipid nanoparticles – has a big impact ...

Jun 18, 2025 New pathway for mRNA drug delivery shows shape of things to come Scientists have discovered the internal shape of tiny drug-delivery particles - called lipid nanoparticles - has a big ...

mRNA vaccines work differently: The antigen is produced inside the body. The vaccine itself consists of a small piece of genetic code—messenger RNA (mRNA)—to which the immune system responds.

Our study progresses from the rational design of polyplex micelles to the mechanistic elucidation of mRNA degradation, revealing RNase infiltration—rather than carrier dissociation—as the ...
