Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recent breakthroughs in immunology, protein engineering and genetic delivery have opened doors to innovative vaccine approaches that were once unattainable. These advanced designs demonstrate potential for targets where traditional methods have been ineffective. Modern strategies, including nucleic acid vaccines, whole-cell vaccines, novel delivery techniques and shelf-stable formulations, are paving new paths in both preventive and therapeutic vaccines. In this Special Issue, we will examine recent developments in vaccine technologies and delivery systems that could expand the field's possibilities.
