Cell therapies

A new consortium has been launched in the UK to help drive innovation in the manufacturing of personalised cell therapies.  The consortium was launched by the Cell and Gene Therapy Catapult (CGT Catapult) and will be led by advanced therapy medicinal products (ATMP) developer Achilles Therapeutics. The consortium has been awarded £3.5 million in funding […]

By Courtney Ferrebee, PhD, Field Applications Scientist, Taconic Biosciences. Although immunotherapy has revolutionised cancer therapy, the effectiveness of currently available immunotherapies varies significantly across patients and treatment types. As a result, researchers are striving to continually improve immuno-oncology approaches using the patient’s own immune cells to combat tumours. Humanised immune system (HIS) mouse models that […]

This guide examines how cell and gene therapy transform cancer treatment. While cell therapies like CAR-T are promising cancer treatments, many challenges remain, including improving responses in blood cancers and efficacy in solid tumours. This new cancer therapy guide from 10x Genomics will outline: Cutting-edge single cell and spatial analysis technologies to unlock molecular insights The discovery of targets […]

Human cell coding company bit.bio has closed a Series B financing of $103 million to accelerate the clinical development of the company’s cell coding technology opti-oxTM, a breakthrough gene engineering approach that enables unlimited batches of any human cell to be manufactured consistently at scale through direct reprogramming of stem cells.  The funding will also support the continued […]

Advances in treatments for human diseases, including cancer, rely on the ability to gain detailed information into the function, modulation, and variation of the immune system in response to stimuli or immunological challenge. Insights derived from these data have, for example, revolutionised cancer treatment by enabling the development of adoptive cell transfer therapies, such as […]
