UCLA scientists in the United States study the conversion of edible plants, such as lettuce, into vaccine plants, by which they can "receive the vaccine" in the form of an appetite green salad prepared at home, rather than the syringe currently received at the top of the arm, indicating that science is close to winning a new victory in the vaccine battle.

As published by the University of California, researchers are currently developing a technique to place the vaccine in plant cells, in particular lettuce and spinach.

After receiving a $500,000 grant for the project from the National Science Foundation, scientists hope to turn home gardens into small vaccine farms.

The vaccine processed for this purpose is mRNA, a new type of vaccine that has undergone studies over decades, and under the Corona pandemic, Faizer-Biwantik and Moderna used RNA in the vaccines they produced to prevent Covid-19.

Conventional vaccines, based on the placement of a pathogen (virus or germ) in a human body, drive your immune system to produce antibodies.

In contrast, the transmembrane RNA vaccine works differently, using a genetically engineered form of mRNA to give your cells instructions on how to make a protein that stimulates the body to form antibodies and fight the virus, and never enters the DNA into the nucleus of cells.
