Nervousness about the Trump administration’s attitude to vaccines has spurred the formation of the Vaccine Integrity Project, which has the aim of safeguarding the use of vaccines and ensuring vaccine policy “remains grounded in the best available science,” and is “free from external influence.”
Writing in Scientific Reports, researchers from the Stiftung Tieraerztliche Hochschule Hannover and collaborators present the design and evaluation of an artificial poly-epitope sequence comprising 20 potentially immunogenic conserved influenza A virus CD8+ T cell epitopes as a new vaccine candidate.
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.
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.
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.
