On the afternoon of October 2, in Stockholm (Sweden), the Nobel Council at Karolinska Institute announced the 2023 Nobel Prize in Biomedicine to Hungarian scientist Katalin Karikó and American scientist Drew Weissman for their discovery of Modifying the nucleoside base to develop an effective mRNA technology vaccine for COVID-19 prevention.
Female Professor Kariko has found a method to help prevent the immune system’s response to mRNA technology vaccines produced in the laboratory – which is the biggest obstacle to all treatments using mRNA technology. .
In 2005, she and scientist Drew Weissman discovered a way to modify nucleosides, which are the molecular building blocks of mRNA, to create hybrid mRNA that can enter cells without alerting the defense system. of body.
The groundbreaking discoveries of scientists Kariko and Weissman have changed the fundamental understanding of how mRNA interacts with the human immune system./.
