Through a study that could transform the way vaccines are delivered, scientists have discovered that flossing between your teeth may one day do more than clean your gums—it could help to immunise you.
Published in Nature Biomedical Engineering, the study, titled “Floss-based vaccination targets the gingival sulcus for mucosal and systemic immunisation”, unveils a groundbreaking technique developed by researchers from North Carolina State University, Texas Tech University, and collaborating institutions.
