mRNA technology
Cellular instruction delivery
mRNA technology uses messenger RNA to instruct cells to produce specific proteins, typically for medical purposes.
Unlike traditional vaccines that introduce weakened pathogens, mRNA vaccines deliver genetic instructions that prompt the body to manufacture proteins triggering an immune response.
The COVID-19 vaccines from Pfizer and Moderna brought this approach into widespread use.
The technology has potential applications beyond vaccines, including cancer treatment and gene therapy.
