Cellular regulator of mRNA vaccine revealed… offering new therapeutic options

A team of researchers led by Dr. KIM V. Narry, director of the Center for RNA Research at the Institute for Basic Science (IBS), has uncovered a key cellular mechanism that affects the function of mRNA vaccines and therapeutics. Their study, recently published in Science, provides the first comprehensive understanding of how mRNA vaccines are delivered, processed, and degraded within cells — a breakthrough that could pave the way for more effective vaccines and RNA-based treatments.
