Messenger RNA

Messenger RNA (mRNA) is a type of molecule that carries instructions from the DNA in your cells' nuclei to other parts of the cell where proteins are made. Think of it as a temporary copy or messenger of a specific genetic instruction, similar to a recipe card. Once the cell receives this instruction, it uses it to assemble proteins, which are essential for many bodily functions. mRNA's role is vital in translating the genetic code into functional molecules, guiding the cell in building the proteins necessary for growth, repair, and daily maintenance.
