mRNA Technology in Medicine

 Developing vaccine was lengthy process in previous days.

 Since a few years we have ability to create mRNA(messenger


RNA) vaccines which can be developed much faster.
How IT forms?

 So how do this? mRNA vaccine works? Are


they safe?
 To understand how it works let’s take the
COVID-19 pandemic as an example.
 You might seen the pictures of the virus, with its
distinctive spikes.
 These spikes allow virus to attach the cell of body
and infect them.
 So, here’s the key idea for Covid 19 Vaccines.
 Researchers took the spikes of virus and isolated a
part of RNA responsible for producing spikes and
created messenger RNA(mRNA) with
transcription.
What is mRNA??

 This is a special type of RNA that can enter


your cell and give instruction to build spike. It
won’t infect you because its just a spike not a
virus.
HOW IT WORKS?

 Once this mRNA vaccine is injected


in your body your immune system learn how
to kill this spikes by producing antibodies
against it.
Uses OF mRNA TECHNOLOGY
 As you all know it is used in COVID 19
vaccines.

 mRNA technology can also help treat


existing diseases like cancer.

 This technologies is used in different


types of chemotherapies.
