REVIEW published: 07 July 2021 doi: 10.3389/fimmu.2021.679344 From COVID-19 to Cancer mRNA Vaccines: Moving From Bench to Clinic in the Vaccine Landscape † † Chiranjib Chakraborty 1,2* , Ashish Ranjan Sharma 2 , Manojit Bhattacharya 3 and Sang-Soo Lee 2* 1 Department of Biotechnology, School of Life Science and Biotechnology, Adamas University, Kolkata, India, 2 Institute for Skeletal Aging & Orthopedic Surgery, Hallym University-Chuncheon Sacred Heart Hospital, Chuncheon, Gangwon-do, South Korea, 3 Department of Zoology, Fakir Mohan University, Odisha, India Recently, mRNA vaccines have become a significant type of therapeutic and have created new fields in the biopharmaceutical industry. mRNA vaccines are promising next- generation vaccines that have introduced a new age in vaccinology. The recent Edited by: approval of two COVID-19 mRNA vaccines (mRNA-1273 and BNT162b2) has Bernard Verrier, accelerated mRNA vaccine technology and boosted the pharmaceutical and Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), France biotechnology industry. These mRNA vaccines will help to tackle COVID-19 pandemic Reviewed by: through immunization, offering considerable hope for future mRNA vaccines. Human trials Syafinaz Amin-Nordin, with data both from mRNA cancer vaccines and mRNA infectious disease vaccines have Universiti Putra Malaysia, Malaysia Wayne Robert Thomas, provided encouraging results, inspiring the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries University of Western Australia, to focus on this area of research. In this article, we discuss current mRNA vaccines Australia broadly in two parts. In the first part, mRNA vaccines in general and COVID-19 mRNA *Correspondence: vaccines are discussed. We presented the mRNA vaccine structure in general, the Chiranjib Chakraborty
