Novavax, Inc., a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery, development and commercialization of recombinant nanoparticle vaccines and adjuvants, today presented preclinical data demonstrating that antibodies generated to its RSV F-protein nanoparticle vaccine candidate (RSV F vaccine) bind to the site II epitope of the RSV F-protein with a higher affinity than palivizumab (Syangis®) at the 54th Interscience Conference on Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy (ICAAC) in Washington, DC.
Individuals who are squeamish about injections or are looking for a way to let collagen penetrate deeper into the skin may soon have a solution that is faster, more effective and painless. The key lies in a small adhesive patch topped with minuscule needles that is pioneered by researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS).
Ascendia Pharmaceuticals, a start-up specialty pharmaceutical company in the business of providing formulation technologies and product development services for poorly soluble molecules, today announced that the company has successfully applied its nano-emulsion technology platform to a novel injectable formulation of clopidogrel - the world’s top-selling blood thinner medicine. Ascendia has advanced the program to pre-IND development stage, and has filed US and worldwide PCT patent applications on the product.
Researchers at Guangdong Medical College have discovered that the combination of serum surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectroscopy and support vector machine (SVM) diagnostic algorithm demonstrated great potential for non-invasive screening of prostate cancer. Screening for cancer can help prevent related deaths. Many methods exist, but there is a growing need for more effective, safe and cost-effective methods.
Novavax, Inc., a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery, development and commercialization of recombinant nanoparticle vaccines and adjuvants, announced today that it will present data from recent preclinical studies of its respiratory syncytial virus F-protein nanoparticle vaccine candidate (RSV F Nanoparticle Vaccine) at the 54th Interscience Conference on Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy (ICAAC) in Washington, D.C., September 5-9, 2014 at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center.
Cancerous brain tumors are notorious for growing back despite surgical attempts to remove them — and for leading to a dire prognosis for patients. But scientists are developing a new way to try to root out malignant cells during surgery so fewer or none get left behind to form new tumors. The method, reported in the journal ACS Nano, could someday vastly improve the outlook for patients.
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the second leading cause of cancer-associated death worldwide. These regrettably poor prognoses are due to the difficulty in treating this cancer using conventional chemotherapeutic drugs such as doxorubicin, epirubicin, cisplatin, 5-fluorouracil, etoposide or combinations therein.
BIND Therapeutics, Inc., a clinical-stage nanomedicine platform company developing targeted and programmable therapeutics called AccurinsTM, announced today that a poster presentation including Phase 2 clinical data on its lead drug candidate, BIND-014, in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) will be presented at the upcoming 26th EORTC-NCI-AACR Symposium on Molecular Targets and Cancer Therapeutics.
Amultidisciplinary team of scientists from UCLA and Stanford University has used a naturally occurring nanoparticle called a vault to create a novel drug delivery system that could lead to advances in the treatment of cancer and HIV.
Tekmira Pharmaceuticals Corporation, a leading developer of RNA interference (RNAi) therapeutics, today announced the publication of data in a peer-reviewed scientific journal which highlights positive results in an animal model of Marburg virus infection enabled by Tekmira's lipid nanoparticle (LNP) technology.
