Messenger RNA - Wikipedia
In molecular biology, messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) is a single-stranded molecule of RNA that corresponds to the genetic sequence of a gene, and is read by a ribosome in the process of synthesizing a protein.

Messenger RNA (mRNA) | Description & Function | Britannica
Messenger RNA (mRNA) is a molecule in cells that carries codes from the DNA in the nucleus to the sites of protein synthesis in the cytoplasm (the ribosomes). Each mRNA molecule encodes information for one protein.

mRNA Vaccines: What They Are & How They Work - Cleveland Clinic
MRNA — or messenger ribonucleic acid — is a molecule in your cells that copies instructions from your DNA and brings them to your ribosomes (protein-making structures in your cells). Your ribosomes use the instructions on mRNA to create proteins that make your body work.

What is mRNA and How Does it Actually Work? - Biology Insights
Messenger RNA (mRNA) is a fundamental molecule in biological systems. It functions as a single-stranded nucleic acid, similar to DNA but containing uracil instead of thymine. mRNA acts as a temporary carrier of genetic instructions, transmitting information from the cell’s DNA to its protein-making machinery.

Particles that enhance mRNA delivery could reduce vaccine dosage and ...
A new lipid nanoparticle could make mRNA vaccines more effective and potentially lower the cost per dose. New research suggests an mRNA influenza vaccine delivered with the new particle could generate the same immune response as mRNA delivered by standard nanoparticles, but at around 1/100 the dose.

mRNA Explained - Moderna
Messenger RNA, or mRNA, exists in all cells in our bodies and has for millions of years. Just as its name suggests, it acts as a messenger to the cell's machinery that makes proteins, giving instructions for what proteins to make and how to make them.
