Abstract Nanovaccines, as a new generation of vaccines, have garnered significant interest due to their exceptional potential in enhancing disease prevention and treatment. Their unique features, such high stability, antigens protection, prolonged retention, targeted delivery lymph nodes, immune cells, tumors, set them apart promising candidates the field immunotherapy. Polymers, with superior degradability, capacity mimic pathogen characteristics, surface functionality that facilitates modifications, serve ideal carriers for vaccine components. Polymer‐based self‐adjuvanted nanovaccines remarkable ability augment responses. The inherent adjuvant‐like properties polymers themselves offer pathway toward more efficient exploitation nanomaterials optimization nanovaccines. This review article aims summarize categorization elucidate mechanisms action adjuvants. Additionally, it delves into advantages limitations polymer‐based management prevention, providing valuable insights design application. comprehensive analysis could contribute development effective tailored wide range diseases.

Beta-glucans comprise a group of polysaccharides natural origin found in bacteria, algae, and plants, e.g., cereal seeds, as well microfungi macrofungi (mushrooms), which are characterized by diverse structures functions. They known for their metabolic immunomodulatory properties, including anticancer, antibacterial, antiviral. Recent reports suggest potential beta-glucans the prevention treatment COVID-19. In contrast to β-glucans from other sources, mushrooms β-1,3-glucans with short β-1,6-side chains. This structure is recognized receptors located on surface immune cells; thus, mushroom have specific properties gained BRM (biological response modifier) status. Moreover, also owe formation triple helix conformation, one key factors influencing bioactivity beta-glucans. review summarizes latest findings biological health-promoting civilization viral diseases, particular emphasis
