RSV Vaccine Workshop (Day 1)
The purpose of the workshop is to identify obstacles to RSV vaccine development, discuss approaches to alleviating them, and identify gaps in research that could be addressed to enable vaccine development. The meeting will also review the basic science and clinical data that will inform the regulation of products under development including, for example, immune responses to RSV primary infection and reinfection, and the physiology and kinetics of placental antibody transfer as well as discuss progress towards standardization of immunologic agents and assays. Lessons learned from previous clinical trials of RSV vaccines, a...

Redox Biology 2014 - Signal Transduction, Redox Physiology
Redox Biology
Recent advances in the biochemistry of redox-active species and radicals are beginning to be translated into improvements in prevention and treatment of cancer. Traditionally, reactive species such as superoxide, hydrogen peroxide and nitric oxide (NO) are associated with toxicity; however, NO is useful in the treatment of angina and cardiovascular disease. Also, NO is involved in cancer tumor angiogenesis and apoptosis of cancer cells. This course is an overview presenting how redox-active species and radicals are generated; their effects on the cellular and physiological level, how they alter carcinogene...

2013 Nobel Prize Winner will speak on "Biogenesis and Function of the Autophagosome"
The NIH Cell Biology and Metabolism Program will host Randy Schekman, co-winner of the 2013 Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine.
The pathway of autophagy has assumed an important position in the analysis of mammalian cellular response to stress, hypoxia and pathogen infection. Autophagosomes mature by growth and envelopment of cytosolic proteins and organelles that are trapped within the inner membrane of a two-membrane organelle. Trapped proteins are delivered by autophagosome fusion to the lysosome where protein and polysaccharide degradation permit amino acids and sugars to be recycled. A pre-autophagsosomal memb...
