Description
Book Introduction
The future depends on RNA!
A First Introduction to RNA for Those Who Only Know DNA
With the development of RNA-LNP-based therapeutics and vaccines making headlines, interest in RNA is heating up across society, from academic achievements to investments in biotech companies.
Following the success of the first human mRNA vaccine in human history, attention is focused on how the pharmaceutical industry will respond quickly to the resurgence of the COVID-19 virus.
If the past 50 years have been the era of DNA, the next 30 will be the era of RNA. RNA is a polymer compound that participates in life processes in a far more diverse and nuanced way than DNA and the proteins made from DNA information.
mRNA, the messenger of genes, acts as a conveyor belt of information and controls the core functions of life, and the scope of RNA's function, which precisely controls various life phenomena, will further expand in the future.
This time, 『RNA Special Lecture: From DNA to RNA, the Revolution in Molecular Biology』, published by Science Books, Inc., contains the knowledge we must know amidst the overflowing information in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Professor Song Ki-won of the Department of Biochemistry at Yonsei University, who wrote this book, has published "Song Ki-won's Study of Life," which covers the basic biology knowledge he has gradually built up through his liberal arts course "What is Life Science?" for freshmen in the humanities and social sciences, as well as the most pressing social issues, answering 17 key questions.
The best-selling book, "Song Ki-won's Post-Genome Era," which goes beyond the genomic era of reading life information and opens the door to the post-genomic era of editing and creating life forms, is also scheduled to be published in a revised and expanded edition that incorporates the latest research findings.

Publisher's Review
The core of 21st century biology
RNA, the molecular revolution
Katharine Karriko and Andrew Wiseman, winners of the 2023 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, were the first scientists to propose a way to modify mRNA so that it could be used as a vaccine, thereby evading inflammation, the body's innate immune response.
In a time of difficulties securing research funding and continuous rejections from academic journals to which they submitted their research, the research of two scientists who, at the time, harbored the possibility of mRNA vaccines, a possibility that most did not believe in, and who dedicated themselves to research for a long time without giving up, was able to shine in the special circumstances of COVID-19.
Their research is a good example of how fundamental research on a variety of topics, even if it has immediate success or potential applications, can ultimately be crucial.
With the success of the COVID-19 mRNA vaccine, many RNA therapeutics have recently been developed and approved as pharmaceuticals, and with more being developed, it's time to carefully examine their potential and limitations. A book that raises awareness of the importance of RNA is crucial. As RNA's diverse applications and its diverse, yet-to-be-discovered regulatory functions in the body become more widely known, our understanding of how life works will become much deeper and more sophisticated.
