Researchers have used an experimental mRNA therapy to make old immune cells in mice behave as if they were young again, reversing key signs of immune aging in a way that standard vaccines or drugs ...

Michael Mitchell, an associate professor of bioengineering at the University, is developing novel lipid nanoparticles that can deliver mRNA inside human cells, which could pave the way for therapies ...

Two hurdles mRNA drugs face are a short half-life and impurities that trigger immune responses. BlackJack3D/iStock via Getty Images Plus Vaccines have been reliably and affordably protecting people ...

Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have developed a first-of-its-kind mRNA system that switches on therapeutic genes preferentially inside targeted cells-an advance ...

Researchers boosted levels of a heart-healing hormone in mice and pigs with a single injection of a new, experimental form of ...

Pioneering clinical trial testing how personalised mRNA vaccines can enable the immune system to target recurring pancreatic cancer.

CAR T therapy has been transformative in the battle against deadly cancers. Scientists extract a patient’s own immune cells, genetically engineer them to target a specific type of cancer, and infuse ...

Many people first learned about mRNA vaccines during the coronavirus pandemic, when the companies Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna released their COVID-19 vaccines. The Pfizer-BioNTech shot was the first ...
