- 1Scientists Develop RNA Vaccines That Survive Higher Temperatures▼Scientists Found a Way to Make RNA Vaccines Survive Higher Temperatures
Scientists report a breakthrough that allows RNA vaccines to remain stable at higher temperatures, potentially reducing dependence on the deep-freeze cold chain that has complicated global vaccine distribution. If confirmed, the advance could make vaccination campaigns easier and cheaper in regions with limited refrigeration infrastructure. Details of the research and how the stability was achieved were not provided.

MIT researchers, working with AI, have used a design framework called AGENT to develop mRNA vaccine formulations that stay stable without deep freezing. In tests, the formulations kept their biological activity for more than two months at 37°C, a temperature typical of many climates without reliable cold storage. Researchers say the advance could transform vaccine delivery in low-income regions that lack dependable refrigeration, a major obstacle during past vaccination campaigns.
