Nanotechnology in vaccines

Nanotechnology is transforming vaccine development by enabling the creation of more effective and targeted vaccines. By using nanoparticles as carriers, researchers can enhance the stability and delivery of vaccine antigens, leading to improved immune responses. Nanoparticles can be engineered to mimic pathogen structures, which helps to elicit a stronger immune reaction. Additionally, nanotechnology allows for the development of controlled-release systems that can gradually release antigens, potentially reducing the need for multiple doses.
