<em>E. coli</em>-based Transport Capsule for Next-gen Vaccines

Caption

The core of the capsule is harmless E. coli. Around the bacteria, the researchers wrapped a synthetic polymer -- called poly (beta amino ester) - like a chain link fence. The positive-charged polymer, combined with the negative-charged bacteria cell wall, create a sort of hybrid capsule.
