    the researchers have shown for the first time that mRNA can be delivered into the cells where HIV is hiding, by encasing it in a tiny, specially formulated fat bubble. The mRNA then instructs the cells to reveal the virus.

    Am I the only one kinda scared about mRNA treatments?

    I have always wondered how a zombie apocalypse could come about, like, from a biochemical perspective, and mRNA seems to me a very good candidate.

    Obviously it has a massive potential to cure otherwise incurable diseases, like genetic defects…

    Edit: Sheesh thanks for the downvotes, teaches me to ask a question on Lemmy.
