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?

The fertilized egg has all the mRNA needed for proteins during rapid cell division. What instructions prevent premature mRNA translation before fertilization? In the 1960s and 1970s, scientists ...

How does a COVID-19 mRNA vaccine work? COVID vaccines are now available. Some of the COVID-19 vaccines are mRNA vaccines, but what does this mean? mRNA vaccines are different from traditional ...

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 mRNA vaccines and therapeutics.

Since addressing the COVID-19 pandemic, mRNA vaccines have risen as a promising tool for treating a broad range of diseases, such as cancer and genetic disorders. To be effective, foreign mRNA in ...

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 ...
