Study Suggests an mRNA Shot Could Reverse This Deadly Pregnancy Condition

With a single shot, scientists protected pregnant mice from a deadly complication called pre-eclampsia. The shot, inspired by mRNA vaccines, contains mRNA instructions to make a protein that reverses damage to the placenta--which occurs in the condition--protecting both mother and growing fetus.
