In the press release of the University of North Carolina, it was stated that the 3D-printed vaccine patch, which was obtained by the joint work of scientists from the two universities, is easy for people to apply on their own and will eliminate the need for special storage.
“As we develop this technology, we aim to lay the foundation for faster global development of vaccines at lower doses, painlessly and carelessly,” said Stanford University professor Joseph M. DeSimone. statement was included.
Shaomin Tian, a researcher in microbiology and immunology at UNC, said: “Our approach gives us a lot of design freedom and allows us to 3D print microneedles directly to make the best microneedles in terms of performance and cost.” said.
CAN BE TRANSMITTED UNDER THE SKIN
It was shared that the vaccine, which can be printed on a thin patch resembling a band-aid with the 3D technique, can be transmitted under the skin thanks to the micro needles on the patch, and that there is no need for a syringe and needle.
In addition, stating that the vaccine applied with the 3D technique can provide more protection than the vaccine injected with the traditional needle, the scientists noted that micro-needle vaccine patches can be created for flu, measles, hepatitis and even Kovid-19.
