Certain techniques should be used to reduce the risks, scientists say.
The technology used in Modernaās COVID-19 vaccine carries toxicity risks, scientists with the company said in a new paper. āA major challenge now is how to efficiently de-risk potential toxicities associated with mRNA technology,ā the scientists wrote in the paper, which was published by Nature Reviews Drug Discovery on Jan. 23. The Moderna and Pfizer COVID-19 vaccines use modified messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) technology. The mRNA is delivered by lipid nanoparticles (LNP).

The toxicity risks include ālipid nanoparticle structural components, production methods, route of administration and proteins produced from complexed mRNAs,ā the authors of the paper wrote. Authors of the paper include Moderna employees Eric Jacquinet and Dimitrios Bitounis and Maximillian Rogers, who was working at Moderna when the paper was being done. Moderna didnāt respond to a request for comment.
