The real stories behind the latest research papers, from conception to publication, the highs and the lows

In two parallel phase I/Ib trials, both cAd3-vectored Ebola and MVA-EbolaZ vaccines were safe and well tolerated in healthy adults recruited from the United States and Uganda. The vaccines were immunogenic and elicited durable antibody responses.

AF1q is a universal marker of neuroblastoma that sustains N-Myc expression and drives tumorigenesis

AF1Q is an oncogene with roles in leukemia and solid tumor progression. Despite its expression in neural tissues, no role for AF1Q in tumors of neural origin has been reported. We found AF1Q is a universal marker of neuroblastoma that is essential for neuroblastoma cell survival and tumorigenicity.
