Researchers at Harvard Medical School and Brigham and Women's Hospital designed an ingestible capsule that delivers liquid mRNA to the intestines, producing gene expression and reducing inflammation ...

With viral outbreaks spreading more quickly, faster responses and quicker development of new vaccines has become crucial. However, production of the mRNA used in vaccines is hindered by its production ...

With the possibility of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. being involved in health policy in the next administration, vaccination – especially mRNA vaccines – will become a hot topic. Is there anything to fear ...

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) recently announced it will wind down funding for mRNA vaccine development—which could prove to be one of the costliest, deadliest decisions HHS ...

Most people don't enjoy getting shots for treatments or vaccines. So, researchers are working to create more medicines, such as those made from messenger RNA (mRNA), that can be sprayed and inhaled. A ...
