For instance, she said, the CDC could post a warning on its website advising people not to take mRNA vaccines.

To build proteins, the cell makes a copy of DNA, called mRNA.

In the new paper, the researchers detail preclinical studies using mRNA as a therapeutic in the eye.

These targets mostly involve guiding modifications for ribosomal RNA and small nuclear RNA involved in mRNA splicing.
