The American researcher Drew Weissman, winner of the Nobel Prize in Medicine together with the Hungarian biochemist Katalin Karikó, revealed that working on the development of a “definitive” vaccine once morest all coronaviruses.
Scientists advance the definitive vaccine once morest the pancoronavirus coronavirus
Weissman, recognized for his contribution in opening the way for vaccines once morest covid-19, stated that the next step in the evolution of vaccines is universal versions, which will be much more effective than the annual boosters currently offered.
The scientist has assured that he is confident that this vaccine will be the definitive one, since he seeks to improve messenger RNA vaccines, which have shown save countless lives by protecting once morest serious illness and death.
Weissman’s lab is developing currently 20 different messenger RNA vaccines, seven of which are being tested in humans and protect once morest different diseases, from rare autoimmune disorders to food allergies and heart disease.
“We have greatly expanded our field of research, and that has been possible because the world now recognizes the importance of RNA,” said the scientist.
It is important to remember that the messenger RNA vaccinesunlike traditional ones, provide genetic instructions to train the immune system by converting some host cells into virus-like particles, preparing it to face the real threat.
With these promising advances, it is expected that in a In the near future, a universal vaccine will be available once morest coronaviruses, which would mean a great advance in the fight once morest infectious diseases.
