Symvivo’s Oral COVID-19 Vaccine Enters Clinical Trials

XTalks

DNA vaccines designed using the platform consist of a combination of an advanced gene expression plasmid (pDNA) with gene(s) of interest, and a probiotic bacterium to deliver the vaccine directly to the gut, where it binds to intestinal epithelial cells. In October, Symvivo had announced that it is to receive up to $2.8

Scientists discover small RNA that regulates bacterial infection

The Pharma Data

Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a common environmental bacterium, can colonize different body parts, such as the lungs, leading to persistent, chronic infections that can last a lifetime – a common occurrence in people with cystic fibrosis. “Our study took a novel approach to look directly into the bacterium’s behavior in the human host.”

2020 Year in Review: COVID-19, CRISPR and Immunotherapies Define the Year for the Life Sciences

XTalks

The novel coronavirus behind the pneumonia-like disease was first isolated by Chinese researchers in early January and its genomic sequence was released on January 10. Researchers isolated the virus from nasopharyngeal and oropharyngeal samples from the infected patient and characterized its sequence and replication properties.
