Stable RNA elements open new possibilities for mRNA therapeutics
A research team led by Director Kim V. Narry at the Center for RNA Research within the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) has discovered compact viral RNA elements that can make mRNA more stable and increase protein production.
AI Summary
Researchers at the Center for RNA Research, led by Director Kim V. Narry, identified compact viral RNA elements that enhance mRNA stability and boost protein production. The elements could simplify the creation of longer‑lasting, more efficient mRNA vaccines and other RNA‑based therapeutics. The study, published in *Cell*, also revealed an unexpected viral mechanism that recruits cellular enzymes to shield viral RNA from degradation.
