What began in the labs of the University of Queensland has now set the stage for one of Europe’s largest biotech acquisitions of the year. Sanofi has announced it will acquire UK-based vaccine developer Vicebio for $1.15 billion upfront, with an additional $450 million tied to clinical milestones—underscoring a major commitment to next-generation respiratory vaccines.

The acceptance by the UK marks a new phase in what is emerging as a closely observed regulatory race. With similar food safety requirements across the EU, the US, Singapore, Switzerland and the UK, the process will provide insights into which regulatory frameworks are most efficient in assessing and approving novel food technologies. Earlier this […]

In the evolving landscape of environmental health, understanding the intricate ways in which humans interact with their surroundings is paramount. Exposure science, a discipline that discerns how individuals come into contact with environmental agents, stands at the forefront of this endeavor. A recent seminal publication by E.A. Cohen Hubal delineates six foundational principles of exposure […]

Excess centrosomes cause defects in mitosis, cell-signaling, and cell migration, and therefore their assembly is tightly regulated. The divergent Polo kinase, PLK4, controls centriole duplication at the heart of centrosome assembly, and elevated PLK4 levels promote centrosome amplification (CA), a founding event of tumorigenesis. Here, we investigate the transcriptional consequences of elevated PLK4 and find […]
