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 potential ...

A new study by Fikrig and other researchers, published Wednesday in Science Translational Medicine, uses a powerful ...

Only recently has the ribosome—one of the oldest molecular machines in evolutionary terms—been recognized as an active ...

The research field of "cellular IRESes" lay dormant for decades, as there was no uniform standard of reliable methods for the clear characterization of these starting points for the ribosome-mediated ...

Cancer metastasis, the spread of cancer to organs, is a major cause of cancer-related deaths. Once cancer spreads to multiple ...

National Institutes of Health officials have urged scientists to remove all references to mRNA vaccine technology from their grant applications, two researchers said, in a move that signaled the ...

Following the COVID-19 pandemic, mRNA-based vaccines have been shown to provide rapid and precise immune responses, however, this technology has much wider applications. Many leading pharma and ...

By recruiting ribosomes, IRES sequences enable the initiation of translation independently of the 5' cap of the mRNA. This is a protective cap with which the host's own mRNA strands are equipped ...
