What are Some Examples of Nanotechnology in COVID-19 Vaccines?
Nanotechnology has played a crucial role in the development of COVID-19 vaccines. For instance, the mRNA vaccines developed by Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna use lipid nanoparticles to deliver the mRNA into cells. These nanoparticles protect the mRNA from degradation and facilitate its uptake by cells, where it then instructs the production of the spike protein, eliciting an immune response.
