  Role of mRNA Technology in HIV Vaccine Development
  Author(s): Bentley Averie*
  
  The role of mRNA technology in HIV vaccine development is emerging as one of the most promising avenues of research in the ongoing battle against HIV/AIDS. mRNA technology, which gained widespread attention for its role in the rapid development of vaccines against COVID-19, has revolutionized the way scientists approach vaccine design. Its flexibility, speed, and precision offer new opportunities in the fight against HIV, a virus that has proven difficult to target with traditional vaccine approaches. mRNA vaccines work by introducing a small piece of genetic material—messenger RNA—into the body. This RNA encodes the instructions for making a protein that is similar to a part of the virus, such as the spike protein in the case of COVID-19. The immune system recognizes this protein as foreign and mounts a response, which includes the production of antibodies that can neutra.. Read More»
