Combining ancient and modern technology with "cupping method" to inject the new crown vaccine immune response is a hundred times stronger

Perfect combination of ancient and modern technology

"Cupping method" injection of new crown vaccine immune response hundred times stronger

Science and Technology Daily, Beijing, November 7 (intern reporter Zhang Jiaxin) Recently, researchers from Rutgers University in the United States who are studying COVID-19 have used a suction technique similar to ancient cupping to invent a new method of delivering DNA molecules into skin cells.

In experiments on rodents, the research team used the inhalation method to deliver the DNA new crown vaccine, which produced a strong immune response, which was about 100 times stronger than the vaccine alone

"This suction-based technique is achieved by injecting DNA and applying moderate negative pressure on the skin in a completely non-invasive manner

Cupping is a traditional treatment in which a heated cup is placed on the skin to generate negative pressure and increase blood circulation in the area to promote healing

After vaccination, the synthetic nucleic acid enters the host cell and uses the cellular mechanism to guide the production of encoded protein, thereby triggering an immune response

However, DNA and RNA molecules will not automatically enter the host cell, but will rapidly degrade

In this study, the researchers directly applied suction to the skin area after injecting purified DNA, creating negative pressure on the top of the skin

In this research, the wisdom of our ancestors is magically combined with the fight against the new crown epidemic, a topic that the world needs to face today
