Ancient cupping technique may help overcome unwanted side effects of vaccine delivery
Scientists in one of the latest researches have developed a novel way of delivering nucleic acid-based medicines and vaccines using a method similar to an ancient cupping technique. This technique has been proven to make vaccine delivery more effective in several ways. Researchers from Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey in Piscataway, and GeneOne Life Science in Seoul, South Korea, developed a method based on an ancient cupping technique to deliver nucleic acid-based medicines. Creating a method for delivering nucleic acid-based medicines that overcomes unwanted side effects and cost barriers while still being effective could increase the accessibility of vaccines to areas with limited resources.
