"In 2020 — after three years of immunosuppression — when I learned of mRNA vaccine research for MS, I was relieved," writes ...

Since addressing the COVID-19 pandemic, mRNA vaccines have risen as a promising tool for treating a broad range of diseases, such as cancer and genetic disorders. To be effective, foreign mRNA in ...

The tumor suppressor protein p53 plays a critical role in preventing cancer by regulating cell cycle, apoptosis, and genomic stability. However, mutations in the P53 gene are found in over 50% of ...

Myocarditis is recognized as a rare but serious adverse reaction to messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccination against COVID-19.

A new study has discovered an unprecedented pathway producing telomerase RNA from a protein-coding messenger RNA (mRNA). For the very first time, a study led by Julian Chen and his group in Arizona ...
