Dry mRNA vaccine patches reveal design rules for room-temperature storage

Researchers from RMIT, MIT, and Harvard have identified design rules for creating dry mRNA vaccine patches that can be stored at room temperature. This innovation could significantly reduce the reliance on cold-chain logistics for vaccine distribution.
Why it matters
Removing the cold-chain requirement makes vaccines more accessible in low-resource settings, potentially saving millions of lives.
