Cancer cells to ‘Commit Suicide’ with a Self-Produced Bacterial Toxin
TAU researchers induce cancer cell suicide with bacterial toxin. For the first time, scientists encoded a toxin into mRNA molecules and delivered them to cancer cells, causing the cells to produce the toxin that eventually killed them. The Jerusalem Post JULY 2, 2023 SCIENCE NEWS JULY 3, 2023 Many bacteria secrete toxins. The most famous […]

mRNA Vaccines: Using Tiny Particles to Fight Viruses
How do Vaccines Work? Enjoy our new manuscript for young minds. mRNA-LNP vaccines are injected into the muscle, where they are swallowed by muscle and immune cells. After entering the cells, the mRNA-LNPs release their mRNA molecules into the cell’s cytoplasm. In the cytoplasm, ribosomes “read” the code on the mRNA, using it to create the […]
