In addition, the superior performance of VHH compared with mAb under extreme conditions was highlighted.

Transmission electron microscopy, dynamic light scattering, and dynamic viscosity measurements show rigid bionanofibers with substantially lower viscosity compared to solubilized linear forms of chitosan and other biopolymers, suggesting improved handling and manufacturability.
