Its mechanism of action involves blocking the protein shell (capsid) of the HIV-1 virus, disrupting multiple crucial stages of the viral lifecycle. The noteworthy candidate, EBT-101, is designed to eliminate HIV proviral DNA using CRISPR-Cas9 along with two guide RNAs (gRNAs). In November 2023, Hookipa Pharma Inc.,

Messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) is a single-stranded molecule that is complementary to a gene’s DNA. It is important in the process of protein synthesis because mRNA is responsible for transferring genetic information from DNA to ribosomes, which then decodes the genetic information into a protein.

The best way to prevent the flu is by getting vaccinated every year. The CDC and the World Health Organization (WHO) recommend annual flu vaccination for most people, especially those at high risk of serious complications, like pregnant women, elderly individuals, children and people with certain chronic health conditions.

1 August was first chosen as World RNA Day in 2018 as a play on AUG (adenine, uracil and guanine), a triple sequence of RNA (called a codon) that initiates protein synthesis by the cell. Since then, it has been observed to publicise the importance of this molecule in the generation of proteins in the body.

At a basic level, the virus’s protein ‘coat’ and the enzymes it uses to gain control of the host cell’s DNA mutate frequently, making it difficult to target with therapeutics. The team found that HIV Pol is formed by two proteins bound together, which was unexpected as other similar viral proteins are single-protein assemblies.

From isolating SARS-CoV-2 in early January to sequencing its genome shortly thereafter and having a prototype vaccine against it within days, scientific process and progress have held steadfast throughout the pandemic. For example, investment in mRNA vaccines and viral vectors came well before January, many years before it.

“Vaccine Nationalism” Could Prove the Undoing of COVID-19 Containment. Tension is mounting as nations big and small jockey around industry to ensure they are first in line to access a vaccine, should one prove to be successful against COVID-19. Moderna’s COVID-19 Vaccine. The price of that prize is incalculable.
