Biomaterial-Based Vaccine Booster to Enhance Long-Term Immunity (UCLA Case No. 2021-170)

UCLA researchers have developed injectable, cell-free, and biomaterial-based microparticles that can engage with tissue resident immune cells and enhance long-term immunity. It is the first biomaterial-based, targeted approach to induce T memory stem cells (TMSCs) in vivo. The approach was demonstrated for SARS-CoV-2 but can be used for any vaccine....
