TOLEDO, Ohio — Scientists say mRNA could change the way we develop a variety of vaccines moving forward and some argue the limit does not exist when it comes to treating other illnesses than COVID-19.

"If I handed you a book, DNA is the whole book; mRNA is kind of like handing you the copied, highlighted chapter that I want you to read so that we're making sure you get it right," Dr. Adam Walter, medical director at the ProMedica Cancer Institute, explained.
