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.

Editorial: Over the holiday period, the Guardian leader column is looking ahead at the themes of 2026. Today we examine how the White House’s war on vaccines has left the future of a key technology un ...

SMRTS, a smart mRNA system, enables cell‑selective gene expression, expanding the mRNA toolbox for precision cancer therapies.

The same groundbreaking technology that enabled rapid COVID-19 vaccine development is now poised to revolutionize medicine in ways that seemed impossible just a few years ago. Messenger RNA vaccines ...

mRNA, often referred to as the "blueprint of life," is a crucial molecule involved in protein synthesis. It carries genetic information from DNA, the genetic code, to the cell's protein-making ...

Researchers have used an experimental mRNA therapy to make old immune cells in mice behave as if they were young again, ...

Johns Hopkins Medicine laboratory scientists say they have developed a potential new way to treat a variety of rare genetic diseases marked by too low levels of specific cellular proteins. To boost ...

While mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccines are the best known application of the molecule, researchers around the world have found additional uses for mRNA technology beyond the realm of vaccines. They're ...

Sickle cell diseases arises from hemoglobin protein mutations. The mutation causes red blood cells to form a sickle shape rather than a round one. One study suggests that this mutation could be ...

In a recent study published in Nature Medicine, researchers investigated the impact of biological sex on protein levels and its genomic control by analyzing 1,277 proteomes of the human brain. Study: ...
