Indeed a real race took place worldwide between SARS-CoV-2 on the one hand and researchers on the other especially those specializing in messenger RNA vaccines. Four years after its emergence, the pandemic is not over, but some decisive battles have been won, thanks to the great success of mRNA vaccines. The Marathon of The Messenger presents the history of these mRNA vaccines, combining a scientific background with historical and economic perspectives. It appears that an important page in the history of these new vaccines was written in Europe, thanks to the crucial work of German and French scientists; this effort began in 1993 and continues to this day. In the face of a prevailing single-mindedness, these researchers pushed through a new therapeutic concept and defined the biotechnological keys that would open the way to the production of therapeutic messenger RNA in the fight against cancer and viral infections. Written for a broad audience and accompanied by humorous cartoons, this book will appeal to anyone looking for scientific and historical answers about mRNA vaccines. Readers will discover not only the technical and scientific knowledge of how these vaccines work, but also the economic levers that were necessary to create this technology. This book has been written in collaboration with Dr. Steve Pascolo, former director of CureVac, and the RNA messenger expert Professor Chantal Pichon. It also features a preface by Dr. Pierre Meulien, former director of the European Union public-private partnership Innovative Medicines Initiative (IMI). This book is a translation of an original French edition. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation. 001483934 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 001483934 650_0 $$amRNA vaccines$$xHistory. 001483934 650_6 $$aVaccins à ARN messager$$xHistoire. 001483934 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001483934 7001_ $$aLemonnier, Nicolas,$$eauthor. 001483934 7001_ $$aCharrot, Gilles,$$eillustrator. 001483934 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aLemonnier, Jérôme.$$tMarathon of the messenger.$$dCham : Springer, 2023$$z9783031392993$$w(OCoLC)1400087069 001483934 852__ $$bebk 001483934 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-031-39300-6$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001483934 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1483934$$pGLOBAL_SET 001483934 980__ $$aBIB 001483934 980__ $$aEBOOK 001483934 982__ $$aEbook 001483934 983__ $$aOnline 001483934 994__ $$a92$$bISE
