Find the right protein and you can stop bacteria in its tracks by splitting it in two. New treatments can tackle antibiotic resistant bacteria by using proteins to break them in two.

Using special lipid nano particles, cancer mRNA vaccines can target the lymph nodes making for more powerful vaccines.
