Researcher’s re-engineer red blood cells to trigger immune system against COVID-19

According to SINA Press, new treatments and vaccine technologies are critical for controlling the pandemic and preparing for future outbreaks as the coronavirus continues to evolve and mutate. Physicists, chemists and immunologists at McMaster University in Hamilton, Canada have teamed up in an experimental study to modify red blood cells to transport viral agents which can safely trigger the immune system to protect the body against SARS-CoV-2, creating a promising new transporting system for vaccine delivery.
