Cells in the body have to move around in order to do their jobs. During development, for instance, cells are distributed to create and grow tissue. And in the event of an immune response, different ...
Most vaccines contain an infectious pathogen or a part of it, but mRNA vaccines deliver the genetic instructions for our cells to make viral or bacterial proteins themselves. Our immune system ...
Messenger RNA, or mRNA, vaccines work by instructing a small number of a person’s cells to make specific proteins. In the case of the approved mRNA vaccines for COVID-19, the cells make spike protein ...
South Korean researchers have, for the first time in the world, uncovered how messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) vaccines enter human cells, function inside the body, and are blocked by certain ...
Vaccines train the body's defenses to fight infections safely. Learn how vaccines work, how the immune system responds, and ...
Katalin Karikó and Dr. Drew Weissman, American scientists whose long collaboration has revolutionized the making of vaccines and raised the prospect of new treatments for a range of afflictions, were ...
mRNA vaccines can enhance immunotherapy efficacy by activating the immune system, improving outcomes in hard-to-treat tumors. mRNA COVID-19 vaccines enhance immune responses, improving cancer ...

What are mRNA vaccines, and how do they work?
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 ...
Dr. Drew Weissman, left, a physician-scientist, and biochemist Katalin Karikó won the Nobel Prize in medicine for discoveries that enabled the creation of mRNA vaccines against COVID-19 and that could ...
