Deep dives
mRNA technology may hold the future for a cytomegalovirus vaccine
The first article explores the development of a vaccine for cytomegalovirus (CMV) using mRNA technology. CMV is a widespread virus that can cause birth defects and severe neurological consequences. Previous attempts at developing vaccines for CMV have been unsuccessful. Moderna is currently conducting Phase III trials for an mRNA-based CMV vaccine, mRNA-1647, which targets key antigens in the virus. The vaccine shows potential in priming the immune system to prevent CMV infection and is being studied for its safety and efficacy.
