The Importance of Messenger RNA for Vaccine Development
30:21 - 34:20 (03:58)
Messenger RNA is crucial for vaccine development as it instructs cells to produce specific proteins that stimulate an immune response. Scientists have to work to keep the messenger RNA intact long enough to get it into the cell, as it degrades quickly after injection.

When a virus infects a cell, the cell can create proteins and present them outside for the immune system to attack.

Summary
When a virus infects a cell, the cell can create proteins and present them outside for the immune system to attack. However, the virus can also use the cell's own machinery to make copies of itself and continue infecting other cells.

The messenger RNA instructs cells to create proteins, but it has a limited lifespan and requires special attention to remain intact.

Summary
The messenger RNA instructs cells to create proteins, but it has a limited lifespan and requires special attention to remain intact. Proteins that help regulate messenger RNA levels are crucial to making sure the right proteins are synthesized at the right time.
