Engineered hookworms deliver therapeutic antibodies in vivo

Researchers have genetically engineered hookworms to produce human therapeutic antibodies within a host. These modified hookworms can secrete the antibodies directly into the host's bloodstream. This breakthrough offers a potential method for long-term drug delivery, possibly requiring only a single dose for years of effect. AI
