摘要：

Botulinum toxin is now used to treat a wide variety of cholinergic disorders, ranging from mild ties to more disabling forms of dystonia. The demonstrated safety of such treatments has encouraged further exploitation of the toxin's unique properties. With genetic manipulation of structural features, this poisonous substance could turn out to be an efficient carrier of oral medications and vaccines.
