Vaccines using mRNA are currently being studied for a wide range of diseases, including cancer, cardiovascular disease, ...

The vast majority of viruses that cause common infectious diseases are RNA viruses (those that use RNA, not DNA, as their genetic material), which share a critical piece of protein machinery ...

The only remaining autonomous 'jumping gene' can only attach to, and stitch a copy of itself into, DNA when it builds up into large clusters and only as cells divide.

While they’ve played a role in human evolution, they can also cause problems like cancer, brain disorders, and even aging.
