Cellino, a biotechnology firm working on autonomous biomanufacturing for personalized regenerative medicines, has signed a strategic collaboration with Karis Bio, a South Korean cell therapy company, that will allow it to expand into the Asia-Pacific region. The partners aim to industrialize...
Attovia Therapeutics CEO Tao Fu
Attovia Therapeutics has completed an oversubscribed $90 million Series C financing, which the company plans to use along with existing cash and investments to advance its two lead pipeline candidates through clinical proof-of-concept, as well as expand its...
Cyprumed and MSD signed a nonexclusive license and option agreement to develop oral formulations of MSD’s peptides using Cyprumed’s innovative drug delivery technology.
MSD gains nonexclusive global rights to Cyprumed’s oral peptide delivery platform for an undisclosed number of targets. The...
A study led by scientists at NYU Langone Health and its Perlmutter Cancer Center has shown that monitoring blood levels of DNA fragments shed by dying tumor cells may accurately predict skin cancer recurrence. The team’s research, involving adult melanoma patients in a Phase III clinical trial...
Gardeners claim that nitrogen levels in the soil increase after rain. Water floating down through the air picks up nitrogen and deposits it on and near plants. Lighting adds even more nitrogen to the process. They base their conclusion on the perceived greening of the garden after a rain. In...
Bacteria can be engineered to sense a variety of molecules, such as pollutants or soil nutrients. In most cases, however, these signals can only be detected by looking at the cells under a microscope or similarly sensitive lab equipment, making them impractical for large-scale use.
Using a new...
Basel-based Lonza joined CMAC, a center for medicines manufacturing research, to enhance its service offering for particle technologies and drug product development and manufacture.
Based at the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow, Scotland, CMAC is an international research hub with a...
Psychedelic drugs, such as lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), can increase neuronal growth, which can have therapeutic effects for conditions such as schizophrenia. However, such drugs can induce hallucinations and may worsen some symptoms. Researchers from the University of California (UC)...
The gastrointestinal tract is continuously exposed to foreign antigens in food and commensal microbes that have the potential to induce adaptive immune responses for food allergies.
In a new study published by Nature titled, “Prdm16-dependent antigen-presenting cells induce tolerance to gut...
Microbiome dysbiosis—changes in the composition of gut microbes that alter the metabolites present—has long been implicated in playing a causative role in the pathophysiology of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). However, the changes in the gut microbial metabolites that are associated with...
April is now well and truly underway, and the weather is beginning to “improve” (if, indeed, you’re not one of the contrarians who prefers the rain and the cold, like we are). Whatever the weather happens to be doing outside, though, there’s still plenty of news to talk about if you’re more...
Asahi Kasei has established Asahi Kasei Life Science to operate its bioprocess businesses under a new organizational structure. Through this change, the company can offer the industry more agile and focused services, deeper innovation in bioprocess solutions, and stronger support in emerging...
Scientists from the University of Cambridge and their collaborators have developed an algorithm that identifies unique patterns caused by insertions and deletions in tumor DNA. Details of the algorithm, which is called PRRDetect, are published in a new Nature Genetics paper titled “A refined...
Cancer takes a devastating toll on the body—but the psychological burden can be just as profound. Many patients, even those with a long history of resilience and optimism, experience notable emotional downturns. New research points to a biological explanation: the lack of motivation and...
Scientists from Conceivable Life Sciences, a biotechnology company, said that the first baby conceived using its fully automated, digitally controlled intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) system has been born. Full details are available in a new paper in Reproductive Biomedicine Online...
One of the ultimate goals of biological research is to understand the multiscale organization of the human cell and its relationship to biological function and human disease. As much of cell structure remains uncharted, there has been long-standing interest in developing strategies to map this...
Cellares agreed to collaborate with the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health to automate the manufacturing of a CRISPR-edited GD2 CAR-T investigational therapy. Company officials say their Cell ShuttleTM supports early-phase biotechnology and academic cell therapy...
Stanford Medicine investigators have replicated, in a lab dish, one of the most prominent human nervous pathways for sensing pain. This nerve circuit transmits sensations from the body’s skin to the brain. Once further processed in the brain, these signals will translate into our subjective...
A Cleveland Clinic-led clinical trial of tolebrutinib, an investigational oral Bruton’s tyrosine kinase inhibitor (a group of drugs originally developed to treat lymphomas and related blood disorders) demonstrated a 31% delay in the onset of six-month confirmed disability progression (CDP) in...
Cancer diagnoses traditionally require invasive or labor-intensive procedures such as tissue biopsies. Researchers at the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München (LMU) have now reported on a method that uses pulsed infrared light to identify molecular profiles in blood plasma that could indicate...
