In a study published in Nature Biomedical Engineering, researchers demonstrated that […] The post Scientists use dental floss to deliver vaccines without needles appeared first on Science Tech Updates.
Dental floss may soon do more than protect dental health. Scientists have developed a new method of delivering vaccines using dental floss that induces an immune response without the use of a needle. In the study, the researchers injected vaccine components—such as proteins and inactivated viruses—into the gums of mice. The special dental floss activated the immune system and protected the mice from a deadly strain of flu. The team flossed the g…
Floss vaccination can radically change the fight against viral diseases, because the effectiveness of vaccination will increase, and the need for a painful procedure of needle injections will disappear.
A vaccine without a shot? Scientists have developed a novel method for administering protective agents using… dental floss. In tests on mice, it worked better than expected. A new type of vaccine is getting closer. People are afraid of needles. The most terrifying part of getting vaccinated is often not the prick itself, but the sight of the needle. This could soon change. A team of US scientists has developed a new method of administering vacci…
