A lipid nanoparticle in a cell, from Cross, R We know that the end of the Covid-19 pandemic is due to the development and spread of the messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines, but not many people know exactly how they work. In truth, mRNA is quite finicky and hard to bend to your goals. The enzymes (proteins that speed up chemical reactions) in our bodies and environment quickly chop up mRNA, rendering them useless. In addition to that, mRNA can’t easily go through our cell membranes

(An image showing DNA from Pharmtech.) What are Biopharmaceuticals What are biopharmaceuticals you might ask? Biopharmaceuticals are complex medicines or medical drugs made from living cells or organisms using biotechnology. An important advantage to them that should be noted is the fact that biological molecules are very intricate while regular drugs are small and simple. These bigger builds allow them to have higher specificity, or work more efficiently, and off-target i
