Long-Lasting Thymosin Alpha-1 Through Albumin Fusion: Extended-Duration Immune Enhancement

evidence
The takeaway

Thymosin alpha-1 fused to human serum albumin (HSA) achieved dramatically extended half-life while retaining immunostimulatory activity — enabling less frequent dosing for sustained immune therapy.
