Scientists at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center are studying mRNA as a treatment for cancer, informs Insider. The coronavirus pandemic prompted scientists to create a first vaccine that uses mRNA or a small piece of Covid-19 virus’s Spike surface protein. The mechanism of the vaccine creates an immune system response to protect … Read more
The emergence of SARS-CoV-2 threatening the health of the entire planet has led to a medical and biotechnological revolution in the search for pharmacological solutions and vaccines. In the times we live in, it should have been clear by now that the most effective strategy against infectious diseases is vaccination, but it still seems to … Read more
In addition to reducing the risk of becoming ill, vaccines that use RNA-Messenger technology, such as Pfizer and Moderna, also seem to prevent the transmission of the virus. These are the conclusions of the first studies carried out with data already collected in the field, with those who were vaccinated against covid-19. These are provisional … Read more
Going from the image of a small company to that of a large pharmaceutical laboratory, BioNTech has distinguished itself over the past year by the development of its anti-COVID vaccine produced jointly with the company Pfizer. But the German company does not intend to stop there. Indeed, initially, the laboratory was working on the development … Read more

Before unraveling the keys to the vaccine against COVID-19, we must stop at a couple of biological concepts. For starters, remember that the information in our cells is encoded in the DNA of the nucleus, a true biological fortress surrounded by a lipid membrane. From there the information is transferred to RNA -transcription- and is … Read more
