In a recent study posted to bioRxiv* preprint server, researchers developed a mucosal vaccine for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) based on bacteriophage. Vaccines against severe acute respiratory ...
“Mammalian cells actively engulf and traffic phages, so it’s important to understand the potential responses and impacts even if they are moderate to mild,” said Barr. To investigate the downstream ...
