Host-directed vaccine therapies represent an innovative approach to vaccination that focuses on manipulating the host's immune system to improve its response to vaccines. Unlike traditional vaccines, which aim to directly target pathogens, host-directed therapies enhance the host's innate and adaptive immune responses, optimizing the body's ability to fight off infections. This strategy may involve boosting immune system signaling, promoting the activation of certain immune cells, or enhancing the function of the immune organs. By modulating the host’s immune environment, these therapies aim to create a more favorable setting for vaccine-induced protection, especially in individuals with weakened immune systems or those at high risk for infection. Host-directed therapies are particularly promising for diseases like tuberculosis, malaria, and HIV, where traditional vaccine strategies have had limited success. This emerging field holds the potential to revolutionize vaccine development, offering new tools for combating complex and persistent infectious diseases.
