PharmAthene, Inc. and Nanotherapeutics, Inc., a privately-held biopharmaceutical company, announced today that they have formed a Strategic Alliance to advance the development of certain medical countermeasures for the U.S. biodefense market.
The newly merged SUNY College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering (CNSE)/SUNY Institute of Technology (SUNYIT) institution today announced the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences has awarded a $1.65 million grant to further research conducted by nanobioscience professor Dr. Thomas Begley that identifies signals which cancer cells use to respond to their environment.
The potential for deployment of cold plasma sources in medical and biological applications continues to increase in areas such as dentistry, surgery, wound sterilisation and general surface decontamination. Successful optimisation of these gas-phase cold plasmas requires detailed characterisation and quantification of the plasma beam to establish the actual abundances of the reactive species within the feed-gas and the variances with feed-gas composition.
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.
