What most people don't know, however, is that this technology had been in the works for three frustrating decades. Even before that came 30 more years of fundamental research, setting the stage now for no less than a medical revolution where our cells produce the drugs we need. This is the story of how mRNA's potential was finally harnessed for medical therapy, having long been shunned by mainstream molecular biologists"-- |
