At its so-called 3' end mRNA is equipped with a polyadenine tail with an average length of 200 nucleotides. But even this shield does not last long -- the average half-life of mRNA is only 7 hours.

“These [changes] can define the half-life of the mRNA,” Šiurkus notes. Alternatively, researchers can also modify the chemical structure of the mRNA cap found at the molecule’s 5’ en ...

How does a COVID-19 mRNA vaccine work? COVID vaccines are now available. Some of the COVID-19 vaccines are mRNA vaccines, but what does this mean? mRNA vaccines are different from traditional ...

However, the speed of vaccine production is limited because the mRNA used in it is partly chemically synthesized and partly synthesized using enzymes, a relatively slow process. A team of ...
