Leveraging polysaccharide-derived nanocarriers to open new horizons in oral vaccine activation
mycolabadmin
Oral vaccines are easier to administer than injections, but the stomach’s harsh environment destroys them before they work. Scientists are developing special nanocarrier particles made from natural plant materials, especially those used in traditional Chinese medicine, that protect vaccine ingredients and trigger stronger immune responses in the gut. These carriers work like protective vehicles that deliver vaccines safely to immune cells in the intestines, potentially revolutionizing how we vaccinate people worldwide.
