Drugs made of mRNA have the potential to transform medicine—if only they could get into cells in one piece. Now, University ...

The vector consists of a polyethylene glycolylated liposomal outer coat (providing immune evasion and prolonged circulation), a spindle-shaped nanomotor (resembling a flagellum, facilitating targeted ...

Gene therapy offers the possibility of addressing cancer at its molecular roots by targeting disease-causing genes rather than relying solely on surgery, chemotherapy, or radiotherapy. Among RNA-based ...

The technology, called the Viral-Engineered RNA-based Activation System (VERAS), hijacks the virus's own replication machinery to switch on reporter or therapeutic genes precisely in infected cells.

Viral vectors are engineered viruses that are used to deliver genetic material into cells for various applications, such as gene therapy, vaccine development, and biotechnology research. These viruses ...

Find out how different vaccines for the coronavirus cause your body to create antibodies that fight the virus.

Background: Toys in pediatric office waiting rooms may be fomites for transmission of viruses. Methods: Eighteen samples were taken from office objects on 3 occasions. Samples were tested for presence ...

A research group has discovered a novel RNA viral genome from microbes inhabiting a high-temperature acidic hot spring. Their study shows that RNA viruses can live in high-temperature environments (70 ...
