mRNA
Ribonucleic acid that carries the genetic information for producing a specific protein from DNA to the ribosomes in a cell. The abbreviation stands for “messenger RNA” or “Boten-RNA.”
Die mRNA überträgt die Bauanleitung für ein Eiweiß zu den Ribosomen.
The mRNA carries the instructions for producing a protein to the ribosomes.

“mRNA” is a technical abbreviation; written out in German, it is “Boten-RNA” (messenger RNA). In scientific and medical texts, the shorter form “mRNA” is usually used.
Die mRNA wird in der Zelle nach kurzer Zeit wieder abgebaut.
The mRNA is broken down again in the cell after a short time.
Common collocations include “mRNA herstellen” (to produce mRNA), “mRNA in Zellen einschleusen” (to introduce mRNA into cells), “mRNA-Impfstoff” (mRNA vaccine), and “mRNA-Technologie” (mRNA technology). These combinations are especially common in texts about cell biology and medicine.
Für den Impfstoff wird mRNA hergestellt und anschließend in winzige Fettpartikel verpackt.
The mRNA is produced for the vaccine and then packaged in tiny fat particles.
“Die mRNA” (mRNA) mainly belongs to the technical vocabulary of biology and medicine. Words such as “Zelle” (cell), “Ribosom” (ribosome), “Eiweiß” (protein), “DNA” (DNA), or “genetische Information” (genetic information) often appear in the surrounding context.
Die Forscher untersuchen, wie die mRNA in den Ribosomen abgelesen wird.
The researchers are studying how the mRNA is read in the ribosomes.
