Katalin Karikó and Drew Weissman – awarded the 2023 #NobelPrize in Physiology or Medicine – discovered that base-modified mRNA can be used to block activation of inflammatory reactions and increase protein production when mRNA is delivered to cells.

Study in @Nature details a new algorithm to find the most stable, efficient mRNA sequence to use in vaccines. Dave Mathews @lhuang3 show optimal mRNA sequences lead to ⬆️ protein production, improved immune response @UofR @OregonState #URochesterResearch urmc.info/Wa

New #URochesterResearch in @ScienceMagazine upends the idea that #CRISPR mounts its defense only by cutting RNA/DNA. It found a Cas protein works w/ a membrane protein 👇to stop infection in bacteria. What?? @mitchellrayoco1 @arica_vanderwal @kellogg_liz urmc.info/Vy
