Scientists believe mRNA vaccines – which have played a crucial role in our fight against Covid-19 – could solve a number of health issues for humans.
Until recently most people had never even heard of mRNA vaccines. Now scientists believe the Nobel Prize-winning technology behind them may be the key to solving a wealth of health problems.Barely three years ago, Anna Blakney was working in a relatively inconspicuous, niche field of science in a lab in London. Few people outside of her scientific circles had heard of mRNA vaccines. Because none yet existed.
Billions of doses of mRNA vaccines have been administered across the globe since the Covid-19 outbreak began. We know the world has to change for humanity to thrive.
"The other category is autoimmune diseases," he says."That is intriguing because it's verging beyond the very strict definition of a vaccine." Fu says the future could involve mRNA"treatments", for example to reduce inflammation."In theory, that opens up so many possibilities," he says. If treatments for cancer, HIV and tropical disease are coming along with mRNA 2.0, then what could be even further down the line with 3.0? One huge area of concern for modern medicine is."Potentially you could envision actually making a vaccine against a bacterial antigen such as C. difficile or some of those really tricky to treat bacteria," says Blakney.
