Nanoparticle vaccine breakthrough. Researchers at MIT have developed a new lipid nanoparticle that “significantly enhances the potency of mRNA vaccines,” making them 100 times more effective in mice and reducing dosage requirements. This could make vaccines cheaper and reduce liver […]
“The demonstration that making an mRNA cancer vaccine in this fashion generates similar and strong responses across mice, pet dogs that have developed cancer spontaneously, and human patients with brain cancer is a really important finding, because oftentimes we don’t […]
The liver is regularly bombarded with foreign substances, and is home to antigen-presenting cells that train the immune system to tolerate foreign proteins rather than attacking them. Delivering carefully selected protein fragments to the liver helps put a damper on […]
“Overall, the Mayo Clinic team argues that in bone healing, mRNA “promises to couple affordability with efficacy, and clinical expediency with safety, while presenting fewer barriers than traditional gene therapy to clinical translation.” | learn more
