An mRNA vaccine is a type of vaccine that uses a copy of a molecule called messenger RNA (mRNA) to produce an immune response. [1] The vaccine delivers molecules of antigen -encoding mRNA into cells , which use the designed mRNA as a blueprint to build foreign protein that would normally be produced by a pathogen (such as a virus ) or by a ...
Zapomeran, sold under the brand name Kostaive is a self-amplifying mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccine. [1] It contains a self-amplifying mRNA that encodes the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein. [ 1 ] Self-amplifying means that the mRNA also carries instructions to make a protein called replicase .
Two pioneering scientists who created the technology behind life-saving Covid-19 vaccines have won the Nobel Prize in medicine or physiology.
RNA therapeutics are a new class of medications based on ribonucleic acid (RNA). Research has been working on clinical use since the 1990s, with significant success in cancer therapy in the early 2010s. [1] In 2020 and 2021, mRNA vaccines have been developed globally for use in combating the coronavirus disease (COVID-19 pandemic). [2]
In his new book “The Catalyst,” Thomas R. Cech talks about the Covid-19 vaccines, what RNA means for future health crises and how gene editing with CRISPR factors in.

A genetic vaccine (also gene-based vaccine) is a vaccine that contains nucleic acids such as DNA or RNA that lead to protein biosynthesis of antigens within a cell. Genetic vaccines thus include DNA vaccines , RNA vaccines and viral vector vaccines .
Covid vaccines are currently only available via the NHS but some scientists have highlighted a need for companies to offer private sales, like with flu jabs
