Technological advances in gene sequencing and computing have led to an explosion in the availability of bioinformatic data and processing power, respectively, creating a ripe nexus for artificial ...

All the tissues of our body have the same DNA, but they perform very different functions and have very different aspects. For example, a lymphocyte and a neuron share the same genetic material, but ...

Cell therapies are already here, with treatments now available for some cancers and rare diseases. But bringing such living medicines to more patients presents both scientific and financial challenges ...

Researchers at Oregon Health & Science University have reached an unexpected milestone in the fight against infertility. Starting from simple skin cells, they have successfully created human eggs ...

Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR-T) therapies have shown promise in targeting difficult-to-treat cancers; however, predicting the efficacy, durability, and response of these therapies remains a ...

A new study by researchers at the University of Virginia and other institutions has discovered a type of pigment cell in zebrafish that can transform after development into another cell type. David ...

Cell and gene therapy (CGT) has evolved from a niche research pursuit into a central force in biopharmaceutical innovation. By engineering living cells and genetic material to repair or replace faulty ...

Manufacturing today’s cell therapies remains expensive and complex due to the need for viruses or electric shocks to engineer patient cells. Yescarta ®, for example, one of the first CAR-T therapies ...
