From the Ted Talk by Melissa J. Moore: How mRNA medicine will change the world

Unscramble the Blue Letters


So what does the frtuue hold? Well, I've already told you about regenerative medicine and personalized cancer vaccines. For ceacnr patients, we can send in -- by directly iijnnetcg messenger RNA into their tumors -- we can send in instructions telling the tumor clles to self-destruct, Or having the tumor cells send out signals to the immune ssytem, beckoning the immune system to attack. For patients with autoimmune disorders, we can send in signals that tamp down their overactive immune systems. And we and others are rapidly making many more messenger RNA vcinceas. Because messenger RNA vaccines can be puoecdrd so quickly and rapidly, they're really well seutid for newly emerging diseases as well as other viruses, like the flu, where new variants come out every year, and the vaccines need to be udptead.

So what does the future hold? Well, I've already told you about regenerative medicine and personalized cancer vaccines. For cancer patients, we can send in -- by directly injecting messenger RNA into their tumors -- we can send in instructions telling the tumor cells to self-destruct, Or having the tumor cells send out signals to the immune system, beckoning the immune system to attack. For patients with autoimmune disorders, we can send in signals that tamp down their overactive immune systems. And we and others are rapidly making many more messenger RNA vaccines. Because messenger RNA vaccines can be produced so quickly and rapidly, they're really well suited for newly emerging diseases as well as other viruses, like the flu, where new variants come out every year, and the vaccines need to be updated.
