A landmark discovery by a team of South Korean scientists could transform the way RNA-based vaccines and therapeutics are developed and produced. Researchers led jointly by Professor V. Narry Kim and Professor Jin-Hong Kim have identified a series of viral RNA motifs that make conventional messenger RNA (mRNA) far more stable and efficient, potentially revolutionising RNA drug manufacturing.

Messenger RNA (mRNA) has gained significant attention since being used in the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines. mRNA holds potential for preventing and treating many difficult-to-treat or genetic diseases, including cancers. However, its production is complex and raises challenges for researchers developing new therapies: Discover Tebubio.
