How our cells learn to defeat cancer: A podcast with Markus Landthaler
mRNA research has delivered vaccines against the coronavirus. Could RNA technology one day even defeat cancer? Markus Landthaler is working on deciphering the mode of action of RNA-binding proteins and making them usable.
With the help of mRNA technology, it was possible to produce the vaccines that helped to contain the spread of the coronavirus and save many lives. Where are we now? And how long will it be before mRNA preparations against cancer are really ready for use?
Markus Landthaler is a basic researcher and is trying to find out exactly how our cells are controlled, which proteins fulfill which function - and how we can intervene in these processes with the help of mRNA. In the "Research Quartet" he presents the work of his team in an interview with detektor.fm editor Johannes Schmidt.
