10 Key Learnings from Successful Cellular and Gene Therapy Trials for Rare Diseases

XTalks

Out of over 7,000 rare diseases, only 5 percent (or less) of rare diseases are thought to have approved treatment options, known as “orphan” therapies. Dr. Eagleton recently spoke on a webinar with his colleagues from Medpace about lessons learned from successful approaches from rare disease and gene therapy product approvals.

BioNTech shelves oral mRNA vaccine plans with Matinas

Pharmaceutical Technology

The in vivo study, conducted in mice, involved a phosphatidylserine-containing nano-formulation of mRNA supplied by BioNTech, distinct from traditional lipid nanocrystals (LNCs). The latter partnership was recently expanded to focus on in vitro and in vivo delivery of mRNA after BioNTech pulled out of the deal with Matinas.

Are organ-chips the future of preclinical research?

Drug Discovery World

With cues from a diverse population of tissue-specific cell types, extracellular matrix proteins, and biomechanical forces, cells grown in organ-chips closely emulate their in vivo counterparts and replicate tissue-level functions. But can organ-chips entirely replace other models? Not yet, according to Ewart.

Advancements In Automation Of Manufacturing Processes: Key Value Driver For Escalated Interest In The Cell Therapy Domain

Roots Analysis

Cell therapies are based on the premise that the patient’s own cells ( autologous ), or those from a healthy donor ( allogeneic ), can be genetically re-programmed to combat various diseases. In this form of therapy, patients are injected with living and intact human cells that are deemed to be capable of providing therapeutic benefit.
