Vermont Business Magazine Unraveling the unique characteristics of cancer cells and finding less-harmful ways to stop their growth have long been a focus for cancer researchers worldwide. New findings, reported today in
Nature Communications, describe the discovery of a unique dependence of cancer cells on a particular protein, which could lead to desperately-needed treatment for hard-to-treat cancers.
The publication caps off a series of groundbreaking studies appearing in
Nature journals over the last month by members of a powerful international research collaboration.

Oregon residents age 80 and older are eligible for COVID-19 vaccines on Sunday. But those in Marion County may have to wait at least another week.
The Oregon Health Authority will send only second doses to Salem Health, which is coordinating mass vaccine clinics at the Oregon Fairgrounds and elsewhere.
Some first doses will go to the Marion County Health Department, which will decide how to allocate them, Oregon Health Authority Director Patrick Allen said during a news conference Friday.

Thanks to Lisa Wood, director of the Elkins-Randolph County Chamber of Commerce, we have been building a more “Vibrant Community.” Even the coronavirus has not stopped thirty-some businesses from making improvements during the last year.
The Inter-Mountain’s “Lifestyles” section listed these vibrant businesses last week in an article about the first annual 2020 Vibrant Elkins–Randolph County community report compiled by Randolph County officials, under a delightful photo of the dancing couple at Myles Center, but the report forgot to add Kump Education Center improvements.
KEC is a nonprofit member of the chamber, but we have made many improvements in our facility providing jobs for local contractors during this pandemic. Last spring Brian Shourd of Cardamone Historical worked with AmeriCorps member Frankie Evans to rehabilitate the crumbling plaster on the second floor for new rental space.

With more vaccination sites opening in Oregon, rollout slowed by limited supply of doses
The Oregon Convention Center vaccination site could handle 7,500 people a day, but will give only 2,000 shots a day for now because they don’t have enough doses. Author: Pat Dooris Updated: 10:59 AM PST January 25, 2021
PORTLAND, Ore. After weeks of pushing for more places to get COVID-19 vaccine shots, one thing has become clear, according to Oregon Health Authority (OHA) Director Patrick Allen. There are now more systems ready to go than there are available shots.
“There are hospital systems working with local public health all across the state to stand up, or having already stood up as is the case with Salem mass vaccination sites, Allen said. And the biggest issue we’re having right now is how to supply them with enough vaccine to make them efficient and allow them to be high throughput.
