Hello,
I am not a biology researcher, but I am working in intradisciplinary research and would like to know the answer to this question, which I have not being able to understand.
This questions refers specifically to the coronavirus vaccines being developed functioning on a mRNA mechanism. I would like to know how the body differences the cells that are instructed to construct the spikes (which cells) and how they are biologically signaled to stop (certain proteins or a certain mechanism, so on).
I very much appreciate any input from researches on the field.

Potentially every cell into which the m-RNA penetrates can produce coronavirus spike protein of the kind of virus of origin. Theoretically all cells of the body can be programmed to synthesize just virus proteins. This is potentially fatal for the funktion of the organs.
