The study noted that the virus can make several copies of itself in the brains and placentas, which may help explain how it causes birth defects and pregnancy losses. The study&#8217;s main focus is how the virus can cross the placenta and infect the foetus\u2019s brain. As part of the study, tissues from 52 patients with suspected Zika virus infection, including brain tissues from eight infants with microcephaly, were tested by the researchers. It was found that Zika infects and proliferates in Hofbauer cells in the placenta, which can move freely throughout and help transfer the virus to the foetus\u2019s brain.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sanofis_Jevtana_drug_receives_SMC_approval_to_treat_prostate_cancer\"><\/span>Sanofi\u2019s Jevtana drug receives SMC approval to treat prostate cancer<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Scottish Medicines Consortium (SMC) has accepted Sanofi Genzyme\u2019s Jevtana (cabazitaxel) for routine use in NHS Scotland to treat metastatic hormone-refractory prostate cancer (mHRPC). Jevtana (cabazitaxel) is a chemotherapy option available on the NHS for advanced prostate cancer that is not responsive to hormone therapies, following initial chemotherapy (docetaxel). The decision reduces potential disparities in care across the UK for this vulnerable group of patients. Initially, the SMC rejected Sanofi Genzyme\u2019s updated application in June this year. Patients treated with the plant-based chemotherapy Jevtana can experience side effects such as anaemia, infections \/ sepsis, low blood counts and diarrhoea.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Herantis_Pharma_secures_EU_Horizon_2020_programme_grant_for_Parkinson_study\"><\/span>Herantis Pharma secures EU Horizon 2020 programme grant for Parkinson study<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Herantis Pharma has secured a grant from the European Union (EU) for the Phase I-II clinical study with its drug candidate cerebral dopamine neurotrophic factor (CDNF) to treat Parkinson\u2019s disease (PD), using a new drug administration device of Renishaw. With the \u20ac6m grant from the EU Horizon 2020 programme (TreatER), Herantis also plans to carry out scientific research at the University of Helsinki and the University of Oxford. A consortium of 11 members, including Herantis as the formal sponsor of the clinical study and the owner of CNDF patents, and the University of Helsinki will execute the TreatER project.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Immuno-oncology_isnt_cost-effective_for_global_cancer_treatment_according_to_GSK_Chief\"><\/span>Immuno-oncology isn&#8217;t cost-effective for global cancer treatment, according to GSK Chief<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">GlaxoSmithKline CEO Andrew Witty swapped off his oncology assets to Novartis, building his company\u2019s position in vaccines and consumer healthcare instead.
