Book
The medical revolution of messenger RNA / Fabrice Delaye; translated from the French by the author and Simon Pare.
"To the casual onlooker, it took just 10 months to apply a revolutionary new technology to develop a vaccine against COVID-19. Messenger RNA (mRNA), the long-chain molecule at the heart of these vaccines, is now regarded as something of a global savior. What most people don't know, however, is that this technology had been in the works for three frustrating decades. Even before that came 30 more years of fundamental research, setting the stage now for no less than a medical revolution where our cells produce the drugs we need. This is the story of how mRNA's potential was finally harnessed for medical therapy, having long been shunned by mainstream molecular biologists"-- Provided by publisher.
