First vaccine to protect against Ebola
EMA’s human medicines committee (CHMP) has recommended granting a conditional marketing authorisation in the European Union for Ervebo (rVSVΔG-ZEBOV-GP), the first vaccine for active immunisation of individuals aged 18 years and older at risk of infection with the Ebola virus. “The CHMP’s recommendation is the result of many years of collaborative global efforts to find and develop new medicines […]
New challenges facing Europe’s waste water treatment plants present opportunities for improving sustainability
More investment is needed to make urban waste water treatment plants fit to meet the difficult challenges posed by the impacts of climate change, as well as the presence of antibiotics and other micro-pollutants in waste water, according to the European Environment Agency (EEA). Current challenges Much has already been done in recent decades to […]

Why stem cells could hold key to tackling breast cancer
Stem cells can play a critical role in breast cancer relapses, EU-funded researchers have found. By understanding the molecular characteristics of these stem cells, the BRECASTEM project hopes to advance new treatments and more targeted therapies – and ultimately save lives. The cells in our body are constantly being replaced. This requires new cells to […]
Isotopic makeup of meteorites sheds light on the early solar system
The isotopic analysis of elements found in meteorites provides key clues to understanding the formation and evolution of the solar system. It could also help scientists investigate the potential habitability of other solar systems. The most interesting aspect of a meteorite might seem to be the spectacular light show it creates when it breaks through […]
