Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV), discovered in 1956, is a common and contagious RNA virus responsible for a range of respiratory illnesses worldwide. Initially identified by Dr. Robert Chanock and colleagues in chimpanzees, RSV belongs to the

In clinical trials, ensuring patient safety is paramount, and researchers must identify suitable participants who meet specific requirements. To this end, there are distinct processes involved, known as pre-screening and screening, which help determine whether a

Airway epithelial cells cultured in Air–Liquid Interface (ALI) conditions provide an environment that closely resembles the human airway system. This method facilitates improved oxygen availability and supports cellular differentiation, replicating the physiological conditions of the human

Participating in a clinical trial involves several steps before you can officially take part. The process begins with screening, which determines your eligibility for the study. If you pass this stage, you move on to enrolment.

The process of obtaining approval for clinical trials is comprehensive, as it involves multiple regulatory bodies that ensure the safety and efficacy of the medical interventions being tested. Researchers begin by meticulously planning the trial, outlining

Monitoring is essential from the moment a clinical trial is planned until it concludes. This ensures that the study remains unbiased, patient safety is prioritised, and accurate results are achieved. The process of clinical trial monitoring
