The vaccine was tested in rats and showed strong, immediate and long-lasting immuneresponses to confer protection against the disease.
In 1974, Dr. Robert Langer was part of the first cohort of researchers to begin nanoparticle research , as his lab at Cornell University developed tiny particles to deliver large molecules for angiogenesis. This intersection will be remembered as one of the most significant achievements in science and medicine”.
Despite great progress with SARS-CoV-2 vaccines, there is still a need to accelerate vaccination in low- and middle-income countries and a need for more effective vaccine strategies in older adults, who tend to have weaker immuneresponses to vaccination.

Northwestern Medicine scientists have identified a new therapeutic target for tumors and developed a compound which slowed tumor growth and bolsters immuneresponses in mice, according to research published in Science Advances.
Loxo Oncology at Lilly, a research and development group of Eli Lilly and Company (NYSE: LLY), and Kumquat Biosciences today announced an exclusive collaboration focused on the discovery, development and commercialization of potential novel small molecules that stimulate tumor-specific immuneresponses.
In 2021, a group of scientists led by researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Weill Cornell Medicine and NewYork-Presbyterian reported that the Moderna mRNA vaccine and a protein-based vaccine candidate containing an adjuvant, a substance that enhances immuneresponses, elicited durable neutralizing antibody responses to SARS-CoV-2 (..)
The 2024 ASCO Annual Meeting from the American Society of Clinical Oncology is a fantastic platform for clinical researchers to discuss the latest advancements and challenges in oncology research. Microenvironment Management : Optimizing the tumor microenvironment to enhance TIL efficacy remains a critical focus of research efforts.
Immune cells specialize to ensure the most efficient defense against viruses and other pathogens. Researchers at the University of Basel have shed light on this specialization of T cells and shown that it occurs differently in the context of an acute and a chronic infection.
The anti-inflammatory macrophages help in preventing an immuneresponse from becoming dangerous, as seen with patients with autoimmune disease. This helps to ensure that inflammation naturally subsides after the initial immuneresponse and promotes tissue repair.
THN391 binds the inflammation-driving component of fibrin, known for activating the immuneresponses in neurodegenerative and ophthalmologic diseases. The grant includes preclinical research funding of $1m a year to advance the company’s Alzheimer’s disease programme into 2024.
