The medicine is the message.

Covid-19 vaccines have alerted the world to the power of RNA therapies.

Covid-19疫苗已使全世界意識到RNA治療的力量。

And the molecule has many more tricks up its sleeve.

Briefing.

Molecular biology is not a popularity contest. But if it were, it would be a partisan one. The evolutionary biologists would pledge their allegiance en masse to dna. The sequences contained in its regular coils knit together the stories of almost all life on the planet. Pharmacologists, being of a more practical bent, would instead vote for proteins. Proteins are not about sequence, but about shape; their complex, irregular outlines, and the ways that they can change, allow them to do almost all of the biological work that gets done in cells. And it is thanks to the way that particular drug molecules fit into those shapes that almost all drugs have their effects.
