TLDR
In this article, the authors identify, analyze and describe the novel approaches that affect vaccine development in lower-middle income countries (LMICs) by systematically reviewing a set of published papers on vaccine development and analyzing them against a specific region-setting framework.Abstract:
The purpose of this paper is to identify, analyze and describe the novel approaches that affect vaccine development in lower-middle income countries (LMICs).,The vaccine market in LMICs currently focuses on traditional Expanded Program for Immunization vaccines instead of new ones. Unlike the successful introduction of those traditional vaccines, the introduction of new vaccines appears to be very slow, mainly due to financial issues. This paper systematically reviews a set of published papers on vaccine development and analyzes them against a specific region-setting framework.,Public–private partnership alone could not ensure long-term vaccine sustainability. Several factors that encourage domestic vaccine development were identified. The findings demonstrate that the regulatory approach of hybrid collaboration and market opportunity strategies can be a major breakthrough for domestic vaccine development in LMICs.,Further research is required to include qualitative and quantitative methods for policy analysis, as all of the discussion in this research focused on literature reviews. The authors did not discuss how strategic decisions are affected from a political perspective and this needs to be specified in future research. Think tanks, considerably and fundamentally, affect policy ideas and decisions. However, important breakthroughs continue to be made at the same time.,The development of vaccines in LMICs is expected to be a mechanism to overcome the inadequate access to vaccines in those countries, as solving this problem requires tackling issues from both the supply and demand sides.,This is a literature review that creates recommendation and approaches for domestic vaccine development in LMICs. This review aims to encourage LMICs to produce their own vaccines for sustainability of the vaccine access through vaccine development lifecycle, instead of expecting donor that provides funding and vaccines (vaccine access) in certain period of time. Donor is not always the solution for the problem, since vaccine development requires finance to function infrastructure. There are many efforts in revoking this, including World Health Organization through several reports; however, this effort still has many doubts. Therefore, the article would like to try to see this as a viable solution from the policy perspectives, with several examples to make recommendations more practical.read more

Emerging trends of receptor-mediated tumor targeting peptides: A review with perspective from molecular imaging modalities.
Syed Rizvi,Haixia Zhang +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a review of optical molecular imaging (OMI) has emerged as a novel technique in field of medical science using fluorescent probes as imaging modality and has ability to couple with organic drugs, small molecules, chemotherapeutics, DNA, RNA, anticancer peptide and protein without adding chelators as necessary for radionuclides.

Gap analysis for drug development policy-making: An attempt to close the gap between policy and its implementation.
TL;DR: The study reveals that pharmaceutical industries and governments were highly consistent in their perceived challenges in facing the drug development and reveals drivers and weaknesses of drug development, including market opportunities, push-pull-regulatory pull factors and regulation, as priorities for improvement.

A predictive policy model to forecast outcomes of drug development in developing countries
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a framework as an innovation policy model that can strategically predict the outcome of drug development investment in developing countries, which includes measures to explore whether pharma capabilities, innovation incentives and/or political factors have an effect on domestic drug development.

Diffusion of Innovation
TL;DR: Several models have been proposed to describe diffusion of innovation as mentioned in this paper, which is the process by which an innovative product spreads within a market, and the diffusion rate is influenced by product characteristics and diffusion progresses by word of mouth.

TL;DR: A statistical model is developed that quantifies the effect of the majority illusion and shows that the illusion is exacerbated in networks with a heterogeneous degree distribution and disassortative structure.

The contribution of vaccination to global health: past, present and future
TL;DR: Enhanced deployment of recently developed pneumococcal conjugate and rotavirus vaccines should result in a further decline in childhood mortality and development of vaccines against more complex infections, such as malaria, tuberculosis and HIV, has been challenging and achievements so far have been modest.
Policy and Practice Global public-private partnerships: part I - a new development in health?
TL;DR: The proliferation of public-private partnerships is rapidly reconfiguring the international health landscape as discussed by the authors, and the changing nature of partnership, and discusses the definitional and conceptual ambiguities surrounding the term.
