Edible vaccines? The future of immunization
Keywords:
Vaccine, Plants, ImmunityAbstract
Can you imagine getting vaccinated just by eating a salad? Edible vaccines will soon become a reality, with potatoes, tomatoes, or lettuce producing viral proteins, the very ones your immune system needs to recognize to protect you. By consuming these vegetables, you could activate your defenses without the need for needles. This revolutionary technology would not only simplify vaccination but also eliminate the need for refrigeration, which is crucial for reaching remote areas. Although there are still challenges to overcome, each advance brings us closer to a future where disease prevention could be as simple as eating.
