The process of translation can be seen as the decoding of instructions for making proteins, involving mRNA in transcription as well as tRNA. But where does translation take place within a cell?

Because of this flexibility, the 30 to 40 tRNAs present in a cell can "read" all 61 codons in mRNA. The opposite end of the folded structure, which is the 3' end of the tRNA, binds to its ...

A team of researchers has uncovered a key cellular mechanism that affects the function of mRNA vaccines and therapeutics. Their study provides the first comprehensive understanding of how mRNA ...

Scientists at Shinshu University School of Medicine have developed a synthetic mRNA that, when injected, revitalizes the immune system to recognize and attack metastasizing cancer cells.

Researchers have discovered that mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccines have a persistent effect on the innate immune system. These mechanisms may help the human body to better protect itself against ...

The vaccine — using messenger RNA (mRNA) technology similar to that found in some Covid vaccines — activated tumour-targeting immune cells that persisted for nearly four years after surgery in ...

They found that mRNA-based COVID-19-vaccinations cause a significant and persistent change through acetylation, i.e., the binding of a chemical group to specific, immunologically relevant genes of ...
