So how do the mRNA vaccines evade this cellular defense? A key finding of the study was that mRNA molecules containing a special modification called N1-methylpseudouridine (m1Ψ)-which was awarded ...

A team of researchers led by Dr. Kim V. Narry, director of the Center for RNA Research at the Institute for Basic Science (IBS), has uncovered a key cellular mechanism that affects the function of ...

The International Human Frontier Science Program Organization (HFSPO) is pleased to award the 2026 HFSP Nakasone Award to ...

Professor Hirohide Saito and his research team have developed a new microRNA-responsive hybrid mRNA switch, enabling precise, ...

The mRNA vaccines work by giving your cells instructions on how to make a spike protein. This is a protein found on the outside of the novel coronavirus that causes COVID-19.

HFSPO is pleased to award the 2026 HFSP Nakasone Award to Erin Schuman for her breakthrough related to the function and ...

A complex molecular machine, the spliceosome, ensures that the genetic information from the genome, after being transcribed ...

With the help of the SKI complex, mRNA is transported to the exosome if it is either no longer needed or is defective. The exosome functions like a molecular shredder and the SKI complex acts as a ...

Without mRNA, protein synthesis would come to a screeching halt, preventing cells from performing essential functions or even reproducing. Simply put, life without mRNA would be impossible. Why the ...

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 ...

TRIM25 binds to and induces the rapid degradation of exogenous mRNAs, preventing their function. So how do the mRNA vaccines evade this cellular defense?
