Messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines represent one of the most significant scientific advances in modern therapeutics. Unlike conventional vaccines that use weakened or inactivated pathogens, mRNA vaccines deliver genetic instructions that enable host cells to synthesize a target antigen and stimulate an immune response.
Inhalable vaccines trigger powerful mucosal immunity where pathogens enter the body, offering needle-free protection against respiratory diseases.
Vaccines need precise temperature control to work but maintaining the cold chain wastes half of all doses globally. New thermostable formulations could change everything.
How a 150-year-old food industry technique became essential for creating stable biologics and inhaled medicines, transforming liquid drugs into life-saving powders.
Modern healthcare is undergoing a silent revolution. Now to treat a disease in the healthcare system, there is no longer a need to wait for symptoms to appear.
Discover how antigen-presenting cells like dendritic cells and macrophages are being recruited through smart particle design for vaccines and immunotherapy.
Natural polysaccharides like locust bean gum and chitosan are replacing lactose as safer, more effective carriers for inhaled medications and vaccines.
Nanotechnology is having a big impact on pharmaceutical sciences, and drug delivery systems are one area where this is most evident. Compared to conventional medication delivery methods, nanoparticles provide a number of benefits, including increased effectiveness and fewer adverse drug reactions.
Why is mucus the biggest obstacle to lung drug delivery? Explore the mucosal barrier science reshaping how we design inhaled medicines and vaccines.
Ageing is accompanied by a gradual decline in physiological functions, among which deterioration of the immune system termed immunosenescence—has profound implications for human health.
Science writing simplifies complex research, making scientific discoveries accessible, trustworthy, and relevant to the public while reducing misinformation.
Drug repurposing is reshaping medicine. Discover how changing a drug's route of administration — not the molecule itself — can unlock new therapeutic potential.
Antibiotic resistance is making common infections hard to treat. Learn why it happens, how it affects communities in Nigeria and beyond, and what we can do to protect these life-saving medicines.
Too big, it hits your throat. Too small, you exhale it. The sweet spot delivers drugs exactly where they're needed.
