Biomaterials and Oxygen Join Forces to Shape the Immune Response and Boost COVID-19 Vaccines (Adv. Sci. 18/2021)

ABSTRACT

COVID-19 Vaccines In article number 2100316 by Sidi A. Bencherif and co-workers, it is demonstrated that advanced biomaterials can be leveraged to boost the effectiveness of SARS-CoV-2 protein subunit vaccines. Illustration depicting a subcutaneously injected oxygen-releasing cryogel-based COVID-19 vaccine boosting the immune response, leading to a sustained production of highly effective neutralizing antibodies against SARS-CoV-2.
