Novavax Initiates Phase 2 Clinical Trial Of RSV Vaccine Candidate

Novavax, Inc. today announced that enrollment has begun in a Phase 2 dose-ranging clinical trial of its respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) vaccine candidate in women of childbearing age.

  • New' Estrogen Receptor Found To Be Key Player In Tamoxifen Resistance Researchers at Georgetown University Medical Center have discovered a novel way in which breast cancer cells become resistant to tamoxifen, the world's largest-selling breast cancer prevention and treatment drug.
  • Ultrasound Idea: Prototype NIST/CU Bioreactor Evaluates Engineered Tissue While Creating It

    Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have developed a prototype bioreactor—a device for culturing cells to create engineered tissues—that both stimulates and evaluates tissue as it grows, mimicking natural processes while eliminating the need to stop periodically to cut up samples for analysis.

  • Laser Spotlight Reveals Machine 'Climbing' DNA

    The experiments, reported in this week's Science, use laser light to generate very bright patches close to single cells. When coupled with fluorescent tags this 'spotlight' makes it possible to image the inner workings of cells fast enough to see how the molecular machines inside change size, shape, and composition in the presence of DNA.
