Cancer is the second cause of death worldwide, representing critical health and economic burdens. In an era of an aging society, cancer prevalence is expected to rise, with projections disclosing 28.4 million new cases by 2040. Direct costs of cancer reached €103 billion in 2018, of which €32 billion are due to the increase on cancer therapeutic...Improving the manufacturing of mRNA vaccines applying ionic liquids and integrated production-clarification processes (mVACCIL)
