Common Cationic Lipids and Their Applications in Vaccines

Messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines have emerged as a groundbreaking tool in the realm of vaccine development. Unlike traditional vaccines, mRNA vaccines work by introducing genetic material encoding a specific antigen into cells, prompting the cells to produce the antigen themselves. This approach stimulates an immune response as the body identifies the antigen as foreign and generates antibodies to combat it. One of the key benefits of mRNA vaccines is their agility in design and production, allowing for rapid response to emerging threats such as viral outbreaks or mutations. Get more information on:
