Normally, mRNA is produced in the nucleus in a process called transcription, but in the case of mRNA vaccines, it enters cells within a lipid-based protective bubble.

Over the last several days, the safety and efficacy of messenger RNA, or mRNA, vaccines have come under intense scrutiny. On Tuesday, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced plans to limit ...

The mRNA never goes into the nucleus of your cells where your DNA is stored. The newly made spike protein now sits on the surface of the muscle cells.

First, the mRNA would need a nuclear signal to be able to get through the nuclear membrane into the nucleus of a cell. Then, it would need to work with the enzyme reverse transcriptase to be ...

This week, mRNA vaccines are set to face intense scrutiny from critics in Congress. Here's an explainer of how we know they are safe and effective.

There is no evidence to suggest that residual DNA fragments in mRNA COVID-19 vaccines pose a health risk raised in statements by Florida Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo. Social media posts are ...

It doesn't go into the nucleus (of the cell, where the DNA is). It degrades reasonably quickly. We want to let it do it's thing, but we don't want that drug to hang around forever and mRNA gives ...

The three types of RNA are found in different locations. mRNA is made in the nucleus, with each mRNA fragment copied from its relative piece of DNA, before leaving the nucleus and entering the ...

Serving as a spatial barrier, it allows mRNA splicing to finish up in the nucleus before the intron-free mRNA is translated in the cell’s internal fluid, the cytosol.
