February 24, 2021 - Hoboken, N.J. - John Wiley & Sons, Inc. today announced a new four-year open access agreement with the Conference of Italian University Rectors (CRUI) to accelerate open access publishing among a growing list of more than 65 universities across Italy.
The read and publish agreement allows members of the Conference access to Wiley s subscription journals and grants researchers at participating Italian institutions the ability to publish accepted articles open access in Wiley s hybrid journals for one annual fee. The structure of this agreement allows for a staggered shift towards OA publishing. Starting this year, thousands of the articles published by CRUI University researchers in Wiley journals will be made open access.

Neuroblastoma is a cancer that develops in nerve tissue, most commonly in the glands around the kidneys. The gene MYCN is overexpressed in 20-25% of neuroblastoma, and MYCN-amplified neuroblastoma contributes to a considerable percentage of pediatric cancer-related deaths.
Anthony Faber, Ph.D., and a team of researchers at VCU Massey Cancer Center were awarded a grant from the American Cancer Society to study how MYCN and an abundance of iron can drive cancer cell death in neuroblastoma and potentially be targeted with novel treatments. This award is the first part of a potential two-stage grant worth a combined total of $600,000.
