WHY THE NEXT GENERATION OF MRNA VACCINES IS SET TO BE EVEN BETTER

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

mRNA vaccines that code for virus-like nanoparticles produce a strong immune response while still being quick and cheap to make. Scientists at the University of Washington have shown that an mRNA version of a COVID-19 nanoparticle vaccine produces an immune response in mice that is up to 28 times higher than that of a standard mRNA vaccine. The more potent vaccine could lower side effects as patients receive lower doses. Scientists are already working on mRNA-launched nanoparticle vaccines for the flu, Epstein-Barr, and other viruses.
