At the 2025 International Conference on Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s Diseases and Related Neurological Disorders (ADPD), Promis Neurosciences Inc. presented its new approach to optimizing the α-synuclein (α-Syn) vaccine composition in order to maximize targeting of toxic α-Syn species.
Promis Neurosciences Inc. recently presented the rational design of an Alzheimer’s disease (AD) vaccine candidate maximizing the selective targeting of toxic amyloid-β oligomers.
At the recent European Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (ESCMID) meeting in Vienna, Longhorn Vaccines & Diagnostics LLC presented data on the neutralizing antibody responses of LHNVD-202, an unconjugated composite peptide vaccine.
Researchers from Tridem Bioscience GmbH & Co. KG provided details on the development of TRB-001, an anti-α-synuclein construct consisting of a B-cell epitope derived from human α-synuclein (SNCA), conjugated to CRM197 and C-type lectin (CLEC) β-glucan.
Nipah virus, which circulates in fruit bats and other animals primarily in Asia and the South Pacific, causes severe neurological respiratory disease in humans and leads to death in 40%-75% of cases. The virus is endemic in Bangladesh and India, where outbreaks have occurred nearly annually since 2001.
Cutaneous melanoma nearly always arises on parts of the body that receive abundant sun but, rarely, it can arise on parts that do not, such as the palms of the hands or soles of the feet. These rare cases of acral and mucosal melanomas, which often feature mutations in the transmembrane tyrosine kinase KIT, do not respond to current melanoma therapies.
Orexo AB has announced promising in vivo proof-of-concept data for a powder-based intranasal vaccine candidate based on Abera Bioscience AB’s BERA vaccine platform and formulated with Orexo’s Amorphox technology.
Lyme disease is a multisystemic zoonotic infection caused by Borrelia burgdorferi bacteria transmitted by ticks. Lyme disease is a public health problem because of its high incidence in North America and Europe and its increasing presence due to the impacts of climate change on vector distribution. Novel, effective vaccines to prevent the disease are, therefore, urgently needed.
New vaccines to control tuberculosis (TB) are urgently needed to fight the global burden of the disease, the increase of resistant strains and the lack of effective vaccines to prevent latent TB infections.
