Second-Generation mRNA COVID-19 Vaccine Candidate, CV2CoV, Demonstrates Improved Immune Response and Protection in Preclinical Study

The Pharma Data

Better activation of innate and adaptive immune responses was achieved with CV2CoV, resulting in faster response onset, higher titers of antibodies, and stronger memory B and T cell activation as compared to the first-generation candidate, CVnCoV. “In Induction of innate immunity was investigated via specific cytokine markers.

A therapy candidate for fatal prion diseases turns off disease-causing gene

Broad Institute

By Greta Friar, Whitehead Institute June 27, 2024 Images of a mouse brain show the effect of a technology called CHARM in turning off the expression of a gene in the brain. Like Cas9, ZFPs can serve as guide proteins to direct the tool to a target site in DNA. Credit: Neumann EN, Bertozzi TM, et al.

first-line monotherapy treatment for people with a type of metastatic non-small cell lung cancer

The Pharma Data

PD-L1 is a protein expressed on tumour cells and tumour-infiltrating cells, which suppresses the immune response and enables tumour cells to avoid detection by binding to proteins on the surface of immune cells. Median OS in the Tecentriq arm was the same as observed at the previous analysis (20.2
