mRNA–mRNA duplexes that autoelicit Staufen1-mediated mRNA decay [PDF]
We report a new mechanism by which human mRNAs cross-talk: an Alu element in the 3' untranslated region (3' UTR) of one mRNA can base-pair with a partially complementary Alu element in the 3' UTR of a different mRNA, thereby creating a Staufen1 (STAU1)-binding site (SBS). STAU1 binding to a 3'-UTR SBS was previously shown to trigger STAU1-mediated mRNA

mRNA as a Therapeutics: Understanding mRNA Vaccines
Vaccination is one of the important approaches in the prevention and control of diseases. Although the capacity to present antigens other than the disease-specific antigen in the traditional vaccine composition provides a potential benefit by increasing its protective efficacy, many components that are not needed for the related disease are also ...

mRNA Vaccine Platform: mRNA Production and Delivery
Vaccination is the most efficient way to prevent infectious diseases. mRNA-based vaccines is a new approach to vaccine development, which have several very useful advantages over other types of vaccines. Since mRNA encodes only the target antigen there is no potential risk of infection as in the case with attenuated or inactivated pathogens.

Increases in the world’s population and population density promote the spread of emerging pathogens. Vaccines are the most cost-effective means of preventing this spread. Traditional methods used to identify and produce new vaccines are not adequate, in most instances, to ensure global protection.

Relationship between HER2 expression and efficacy with first-line trastuzumab emtansine compared with trastuzumab plus docetaxel in TDM4450g: a randomized phase II study of patients with previously untreated HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer. [PDF]
IntroductionThe purpose of this study was to retrospectively explore the relationship between human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) messenger RNA (mRNA) expression and efficacy in patients receiving trastuzumab plus docetaxel (HT) or ...

High MYC mRNA expression is more clinically relevant than MYC DNA amplification in triple-negative breast cancer [PDF]
DNA abnormalities are used in inclusion criteria of clinical trials for treatments with specific targeted molecules. MYC is one of the most powerful oncogenes and is known to be associated with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC).

piRNAs and Aubergine cooperate with Wispy poly(A) polymerase to stabilize mRNAs in the germ plasm
In Drosophila embryos, Piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) loaded into the PIWI protein Aubergine target and destabilize maternal mRNAs. Here, the authors provide evidence that piRNAs and Aubergine cooperate with the Wispy poly(A) polymerase to stabilize ...

Microarray profile of B cells from Graves’ disease patients reveals biomarkers of proliferation
B lymphocytes are the source of autoantibodies against the thyroid-stimulating hormone receptor (TSHR) in Graves’ disease (GD). Characterization of au toimmune B-cell expression profiles might enable a better understanding of GD pathogenesis.

Myocarditis following COVID‐19 mRNA (mRNA‐1273) vaccination
AbstractIn this case report, we presented a case of myocarditis as a rare complication that developed after Covid mRNA‐1273 vaccine. Cases of post‐vaccine myocarditis usually progress with mild symptoms. However, it should be a situation that healthcare workers should keep in mind, that myocarditis may develop after vaccination.
