New research by University of Texas at Dallas scientists could help solve a major challenge in the deployment of certain COVID-19 vaccines worldwide the need for the vaccines to be kept at below-freezing temperatures during transport and storage.
In a study published online April 13 in
Nature Communications, the researchers demonstrate a new, inexpensive technique that generates crystalline exoskeletons around delicate liposomes and other lipid nanoparticles and stabilizes them at room temperature for an extended period up to two months in their proof-of-concept experiments.
