Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to contribute to this Special Issue, where we aim to focus on pathogens that invade the body through mucosal sites. Examples of this include oral and intranasal vaccination, which have emerged as promising approaches for mucosal vaccine delivery. Technological advancements in mucosal vaccination have heightened immunological responses, simplified administration, and enhanced efficacy. The primary objective of this Special Issue is to describe the latest technological developments that enable the effective delivery of vaccines, specifically focusing on mucosal vaccines and their development, production, processing, and design. Additionally, novel vaccine platforms for mucosal immunization, such as mRNA, DNA, viral vectors, live attenuated bacteria, bacterial vectors, and encapsulation techniques, are of interest.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
Best regards,
Dr. Mohamed I. Husseiny El-Sayed
Guest Editor
