Messenger RNA - Wikipedia Messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) is a single-stranded molecule of RNA that corresponds to the genetic sequence of a gene, and is read by a ribosome in the process of synthesizing a protein [1][2]
mRNA Vaccines: What They Are How They Work - Cleveland Clinic MRNA — or messenger ribonucleic acid — is a molecule in your cells that copies instructions from your DNA and brings them to your ribosomes (protein-making structures in your cells) Your ribosomes use the instructions on mRNA to create proteins that make your body work
