Abstract:
Virus-like particles (VLPs) and nano-particles (NPs) are promising vaccine platforms that have led to the successful development of commercially available vaccines. The 5th international virus-like particle and nano-particle vaccines conference was held in Bern, Switzerland, from the 25th to the 27th of September in 2018. Topics included novel vaccine production techniques, methods to enhance vaccine immunogenicity, and preclinical/clinical efficacy evaluation of vaccine candidates. Here, we report on a selection of updates that were presented including the production of vaccines in plants, novel adjuvants to enhance vaccine immunogenicity, novel techniques of conjugating vaccine platforms with target antigens and the use of VLP-based vaccines for cancer and inflammatory diseases.

The paradox
Nucleosomes, paradoxically, perform two opposite functions simultaneously. On the one hand, their main responsibility is to protect the delicate DNA strands from physical damage and help achieve a higher compaction ratio. While on the other hand, they must allow polymerase enzymes to access DNA...
