The mRNA technology used in some coronavirus vaccines is expected to have many other uses, including temporarily reprogramming heart cells to remove scarring

The mRNA approach, which involves only temporarily modifying these cells, could dramatically decrease costs.“CAR-T therapy has been a breakthrough, but it costs a lot,” says Aghajanian. “We’re hoping this is the next step in CAR-T-type technology that will allow more access. This type of thing you can get to developing countries, to remote areas.”

In this case, however, the lipid nanoparticles have antibodies attached to them that bind to T-cells. The team had already been working on their research before the vaccines, but Aghajanian says the mass roll-out of vaccines should make it easier to get other uses of lipid nanoparticles approved by regulators

mRNAs, by contrast, are temporary copies of genes used as templates by protein-making factories. They are not integrated into the genome and only persist for days. This means that adding mRNAs to T-cells doesn’t permanently alter them. In other words, it is a way of creating transient CAR T-cells. “It does its thing for a few days and then it is gone,” says Aghajanian.

I wish it could mend this broken heart 😔😞

Cool, now do soccer players

Perfect Ad for getting your Valentine Vax!!!

Do they wipe out the mouse's memory?

What really is a broken heart? Novel headlines in science?

What about Cold Dead Hearts kimspearscook Campbells

Research for blood cells called Kymriah, cost $475,000.

How ironic 🤭

Whomever is in charge of crafting headlines, this is a winner.

Let's hope the costs drop dramatically so that this treatment will be viable for future treatments

lauferlaw Can it repair my broken heart?

Finally, Stuart little can find love again

lauferlaw But is it showing any promise in repairing brains broken by propaganda? Who is working on the problem of weaning people from the cult? Q theory and The Big Lie is spreading faster than omicron in an elevator

i was not aware mice got divorced

?

Why mice die Why

What the fuck is this? Gene therapy? Interesting….

Is this for when mrs mouse fucks off with mr mouse’s best friend. You really can give a vaccine for almost everything these days! Amazing 🐁 ♥️

It’s a great technology, but we’re not mice, and technology for COVID causes problems, and let’s the virus mutate.

🙄😶‍🌫️👀😔

your evilness and godlessness and denial is my heartbreak.

...and destroy hearts in humans... Also, 'broken hearts'?! That's the medical term New Scientist decided to go with?

Best joke ever!

After the breakthrough of making pigs get their oxygen from intestine/anus, this's the second impressive finding within the last couple of months!

Great tech. It should be utilised to make a safe and effective vaccine for COVID.

Just in time for Valentines Day...

Once it is adapted to repair broken hearts in humans there will no longer be the problem of vaccine hesitancy.

Damn those scientists!! Can’t they be faithful to one mouse at a time?

Forever's gonna start tonight.

In time for Valentine's

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Now mice are free to go on romantic escapades without having to fear the consequences if they go awry

Vincent180N Lol. mRNA has created various Hart disease.

Bulshit in a sandwich. This is totally a Pfizer backed article. It just doesn’t make sense lol

maybe start focusing on the mRNA that's harming humans first, before your rodent family.

mRNA covid vaccines gave people Hart problems.

تقنية عظيمة

Great, so we could fix all the human hearts damaged by mRNA based vaccines, eventually?

Probably from the complete genocide the white coats put on all their relatives all around them

Beer. They invented mice beer.

Even mice get heartbroken?🤔

And causes myocarditis in another. Got it. Next..

and brake healthy hearts in humans

Again! Mice get all the good stuff first - why is that? Is it something to do with Douglas Adams?

HeatherThomasAF Teenagers of the world, rejoice!!

how lucky they are (hope we all next

when a mouse loves another mouse? that is so sweet. kin i git some? broken heart don'tcha know.........

Oh thank goodness

I wonder how many anti-vax idiots left w no other option would suddenly get a mRNA vaccine to fix themselves but not help everyone else? Let em die!

I particularly like the image of the vaccinator patting the mouse on the shoulder as it take a deep breath and moves forward with its life!

I use chocolate and booze
