Title: Experimental MERS Vaccine Battles Virus in Mice and Monkeys

Author: Sarah Schwartz

Narrator: Mark Moran

Format: Unabridged

Length: 1 min

Language: English

Release date: 08-03-15

Publisher: Science News

Genres: Science & Technology, Magazine & Radio

Publisher's Summary:

New experimental vaccines use viral DNA and proteins to help animals' immune systems fight the virus that causes Middle East respiratory syndrome. The vaccines stimulate the production of antibody proteins that latch onto and disable the MERS virus, researchers report July 28 in Nature Communications. When attacking MERS viruses, antibodies target a virus protein called the Spike glycoprotein. The scientists designed vaccines containing either the viral DNA with the genetic blueprint for making this protein, or a section of the protein itself.

Zanish Khan runs a tiny shop in Delhi's Basrurkar Market, where India's middle class comes to buy life's essentials. All around him, other merchants offer everything from electric fans to dried lentils that shoppers can scoop from 100-pound burlap bags. By contrast, Khan's merchandise is kept under glass and packed with state-of-the-art electronics. Still, Khan fits right in. India is in the midst of a smartphone buying binge, and Khan specializes in the oversized phone/tablet hybridsor phabletsthat enjoy great popularity in his country. His cases are stocked with models such as the Samsung Galaxy A5 and Grand 2, whose screens measure five inches diagonally. If that's not big enough, the Galaxy E7's screen stretches 5.5 inches.

Title: When a Fetus's Test Finds a Mother's Cancer

Author: Anna Nowogrodzki

Narrator: Todd Mundt

Format: Unabridged

Length: 6 mins

Language: English

Release date: 08-01-15

Publisher: MIT Technology Review

Genres: Science & Technology, Magazine & Radio

Publisher's Summary:

Biology professor Erin Lindquist was in the middle of class when she got the phone call telling her that a prenatal test had returned abnormal results. Lindquist, who was 36 and pregnant with her second child, had had noninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT), which looked for abnormal chromosomes in her blood. Since about 10 percent of DNA in maternal blood comes from the fetus, this test is used to detect fetal genetic abnormalities. The results were "very devastating", says Lindquist: an extra copy of chromosome 13 and a missing copy of chromosome 18. As recommended, she immediately followed up with amniocentesis, a more invasive test. The amniocentesis showed that the fetus was normal: the NIPT results had been a false positive. Her son Jackson was born healthy on October 4, 2012.

Title: The Great Cancer Test Experiment

Author: Antonio Reglado

Format: Unabridged

Length: 9 mins

Language: English

Release date: 08-01-15

Publisher: MIT Technology Review

Genres: Science & Technology, Magazine & Radio

Publisher's Summary:

A year ago I interviewed Deborah Fletcher, a 54-year-old manager at Deloitte who was fighting inflammatory breast cancer with all her professional skills. She carried a briefcase of spreadsheets, documenting treatments, bills, research, notes about who'd said what and what her plans were. Like many patients with advanced cancer, Fletcher eventually put her hopes in an experiment. In her case it wasn't a new drug but a new kind of test, called a liquid biopsy. The test scans a person's blood for small fragments of DNA released by tumors. The one she got, from Guardant Health, a California startup heavily financed by venture capitalists, looks for the DNA sequences of 68 well-known cancer genes and can reveal the mutations driving a person's cancer.
