In a development that could reshape vaccination methods, Stanford University scientists have designed a tetanus vaccine that can be delivered through the skin in the form of a cream. Published in Nature, the study uses a common skin bacteria to trigger immune responses, but the viability of such solutions is still questioned.  The cream contains Staphylococcus epidermidis, a bacterium commonly found on human skin. Researchers modified this bacteria to display tetanus toxin on its surface, prompting the body to produce antibodies against tetanus, which can negate the need for injective vaccines.  Wearing a Jacket with Someone Else’s Name To start … Continue reading Stanford’s Skin Cream Vaccine Saves Mice From 6x Lethal Tetanus Dose—A Needle-Free Breakthrough?
