mRNA Added to the Fight Against Cancer

Due to COVID-19, the world has become familiar with messenger RNA technology, which was utilized by Pfizer and Moderna to make vaccines specifically ones that instruct the body to make a protein that triggers an immune response against the virus. Now, Mayo Clinic researchers are using mRNA technology to help make immunotherapy-a type of treatment that uses the body's immune system to fight cancer-more effective for patients whose T-cells are too weak for the task.
