By Pooja Toshniwal PahariaApr 26 2023Reviewed by Danielle Ellis, B.Sc. In a recent study published in Nature Biotechnology, researchers reported on the automatic printing of microneedle patch severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 messenger ribonucleic acid vaccines.
About the study In the present study, researchers used microneedle vaccine printing to fabricate thermostable COVID-19 mRNA vaccines in an LNP vehicle. Thermogravimetric analysis was performed to evaluate drying time, and drying rates for various drying strategies were compared by linear regression modeling. The drop area and MNP coverage of the polymer solution were also evaluated. MNPs on an ultrathin acrylic backing, produced using the standalone device, were imaged using scanning electron microscopy . The throughput of the microneedle patch was assessed in terms of tray lengths and the duration required for drying.
Results The MNPs showed a ≥6.0 month-shelf stability at room temperatures. Vaccine loading efficiency and MNP dissolution indicated that efficacious, microgram-level dosages of LNP-encapsulated mRNA could be administered by an MNP. Vaccinations in mice with SARS-CoV-2 spike RBD stimulated durable immunological responses comparable to those induced by IM administration. The SEM analysis showed images of MNPs with conical and pyramid geometries.

A rapid and affordable in vitro model to test SARS-CoV-2 susceptibility in animal speciesResearch investigates the susceptibility of seven bat species to SARS-CoV-2 by expressing their ACE2 receptor in a non-permissive avian cell line. The study found that all seven bat species were susceptible to SARS-CoV-2, but the level of virus replication differed between bat species and virus variants.

Study reveals survival time of SARS-CoV-2 in wastewater: Implications for public healthStudy investigated the survival of SARS-CoV-2 in three wastewater matrices - filtered and unfiltered raw wastewater, and secondary effluent. The time required for inactivation of 90% of SARS-CoV-2 was observed to be 10.4, 10.8, and 18.3 hours for unfiltered raw, filtered raw, and secondary effluent, respectively.
