mRNA vaccines: a programmable platform that delivers coded instructions
What happened
On October 15, Computing Life explained the core difference between mRNA vaccines and traditional recombinant protein vaccines: an mRNA vaccine delivers coded instructions, like putting a manual rather than finished parts into the vial, and the body's own cells then build the spike protein. That is what makes it a programmable platform. To answer a new strain, you change bases in the coding region to adjust the instructions and reuse the back-end fill-finish line. The report covers delivery, coding changes and line reuse, and does not touch development, approval or rollout of any specific new vaccine.

mRNA 疫苗与传统重组蛋白疫苗的核心差异在于药瓶里装的是"说明书"而非成品零件：前者递送编码指令，由人体细胞自行合成刺突蛋白，后端灌装产线可复用，改编码区碱基即可应对新毒株。
