Researchers in North Carolina have developed a promising needle-free vaccine delivery method using dental floss coated with vaccine molecules, which successfully protected mice from influenza and could revolutionize immunization practices by eliminating the need for injections.
Researchers have developed a novel method of vaccine delivery using dental floss, which could provide an effective, needle-free alternative to traditional injections and nasal sprays, especially targeting mucosal surfaces to enhance immune response. The study demonstrated promising results in mice, with potential applications in humans, though limitations such as age restrictions and infection considerations remain.
Researchers from Texas Tech University have developed a novel, needle-free vaccine delivery method using dental floss to target the leaky junctional epithelium in the mouth, showing promising results in mice and initial tests in humans, potentially revolutionizing vaccination practices by making them less invasive and easier to administer.
Scientists have developed a novel needle-free vaccine method using specially coated dental floss that, when applied along the gum lines, triggers an immune response in mice and shows promise for human use, offering a simple, accessible alternative to traditional injections.
Dentists weigh in on the pros and cons of water flossers, highlighting their effectiveness in removing food and plaque, especially for people with dexterity challenges or braces.
