What is Life?

The process of life is driven by a strong source of energy: ribonucleic acid or RNA. The RNA molecule is especially suitable for setting energy free in order to improve its own complexity by building structures that can multiply by themselves. It can also generate and transport information. This multifaceted molecule is playing its part in the fight against COVID: as mRNA it is the base for several vaccines.

RNA – the origin of life and also the beacon of hope for overcoming the pandemic.
