Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is a continuation of our previous Special Issue “SARS-CoV-2 and mRNA Vaccines” (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/viruses/special_issues/SARS-CoV-2-mRNA-Vaccine).
In order to effectively prevent and control COVID-19, which has caused great harm and had a significant impact on the world in recent years, great attention has been paid to the development and application of COVID-19 vaccines with various technological routes. Among them, mRNA vaccines have been greatly and rapidly developed and applied around the world. The advantages of good immunogenicity and rapid editable development and production have been demonstrated around the world. This is a promising development in both vaccines and therapeutic biologics. Recently, after linear mRNA, circular mRNA has once again been attracting attention worldwide, because it has the advantages of linear mRNA, but also solves the key problem of linear mRNA products—stability.
In order to summarize and promote the development of mRNA technology, a Special Issue on the topic of SARS-CoV-2/mRNA vaccines will be issued in our journal, including descriptions of R&D, manufacturing processes, quality control, clinical trials, practical applications, mechanisms, and other research on COVID-19 mRNA and circular mRNA vaccines. We hope that the reports collected in this issue will provide a good reference for the development and quality control of mRNA products worldwide.
