Food biopharmaceuticals as part of a sustainable bioeconomy: Edible vaccines case study

New Biotechnology
Elena Cebadera MirandaMontaña Cámara Hurtado

Abstract

The lack of immunization in developing countries is undoubtedly the most serious consequence of the difficulty in accessing traditional vaccination systems. The World Health Organization (WHO) has aimed to find low-cost vaccines, which are accessible to the population and are easy to store and distribute without the need for refrigeration. There is literature support that orally administered edible vaccines are promising agents to reduce the incidence of diseases such as hepatitis and diarrhoea, especially in the developing world. This article focuses on the study of the suitability of edible vaccines as biopharmaceuticals in the context of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, allowing to comprehensively address both malnutrition and the degree of immunization, mainly in the child population in developing countries. This is embedded within the scope of a new concept promulgated by the UN and FAO called' Therapeutic Food' or 'Ready to Use Therapeutic Food'. Biopharmaceuticals such as edible processed vaccines have the potential to play an important role in increasing global health to achieve the 2030 - Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and beyond, as a solution to the dual problem of malnutrition and immunoprophylaxi...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
