Messenger RNA vaccines, or mRNA, differ from traditional ones. Instead of growing a virus and weakening it to allow the body to engage its natural defenses, mRNA vaccines use pieces of genetic code to ...

The move drew sharp criticism from medical and health experts. “Scrapping the fastest platform we have is a reckless move ...

The synthetic bacteria contain a shorter genetic code with 57 codons rather than 64, freeing up space for further edits that ...

Kennedy has claimed that mRNA vaccines “encourage new mutations and can actually prolong pandemics” – a misleading statement ...

In a discovery that could broaden access to next-generation biologic medicines and vaccines, researchers at the University of ...

The FDA's approval of the first CRISPR-Cas9–based gene therapy marked a major milestone in biomedicine, validating genome ...

DNA replication is a fundamental biological process that enables the accurate duplication of an organism’s genetic material. This intricate mechanism ensures that each new cell receives a complete set ...

The US health secretary is cutting funding for mRNA vaccines because he claims they are less effective than other types – but ...

This important study provides evidence for dynamic coupling between translation initiation and elongation that can help maintain low ribosome density and translational homeostasis. The authors combine ...

BACKGROUND: Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a life-threatening vascular disease with no effective pharmacological treatments. The causal role of triglycerides (TGs) in AAA development remains ...

This manuscript presents an in-depth analysis of gene expression across multiple brown algal species with differing life histories, providing convincing evidence for the conservation of life ...

In a landmark feat of genetic engineering, researchers at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology (LMB) in Cambridge have ...
