AI can help protein engineers optimize the transcription enzymes used to make mRNA-based vaccines and therapeutics, say the authors of a new study.

Messenger RNA (mRNA) made its big leap into the public limelight during the pandemic, thanks to its cornerstone role in several COVID-19 vaccines. But mRNAs, which are genetic sequences that instruct ...

In two experiments, researchers have found that introducing people to "mental models" about how mRNA vaccination works and how the body protects itself from foreign DNA can preemptively or reactively ...
