harvey-cantor New Strategy Prevents Rheumatoid Arthritis In Mice

Dana-Farber Cancer Institute scientists have demonstrated a new strategy for treating autoimmune disease that successfully blocked the development of rheumatoid arthritis in a mouse model.

  • GSK Receives FDA Approval For MenHibrix

    GlaxoSmithKline plc announced recently that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the vaccine MenHibrix [Meningococcal Groups C and Y and Haemophilus b Tetanus Toxoid Conjugate Vaccine]. 

  • Identified 115 Proteins That Would Allow Designing New Generation Anti-Cancer Drugs

    Researchers from the Research Programme on Biomedical Informatics (GRIB) from the IMIM (Hospital del Mar Research Institute) and the Pompeu Fabra University (UPF) have identified 115 proteins in silico (via computer simulation) that could be highly relevant to treat colon-rectal cancer, since they would make it possible to define the strategy to design new generation anti-cancer drugs.

  • Antibody Evolution Could Guide HIV Vaccine Development

    Observing the evolution of a particular type of antibody in an infected HIV-1 patient, a study spearheaded by Duke University, including analysis from Los Alamos National Laboratory, has provided insights that will enable vaccination strategies that mimic the actual antibody development within the body.
