The advent of immunotherapies for cancer, and more recently of cellular immunotherapies, has substantially altered the treatment landscape. ...
Many cell and gene therapy solutions have shown considerable promise as a source of possible treatments for a wide range of chronic disorders. However, these sophisticated therapies introduce additional barriers such as the requirements for ultra-low and cryogenic storage, which affect numerous steps of the biomedical solutions’ life cycles, from their development to their administration. ...
Researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) have found that interferon gamma receptor (IFNgR) signaling is essential for the susceptibility of CAR-T cell immunotherapy to kill malignant gliomas. The same phenomenon has been observed in other solid tumors. ...
Considerable investment into cancer research has led to the development of remarkable new therapies, which have greatly improved therapeutic outcome for the countless individuals diagnosed with cancer. Until recently, almost all therapies that were granted clinical approval were small molecules. However, biotechnological advances in the last several decades have made it possible to develop ...
The reason value-based agreements have created buzz is because gene, cellular and immunotherapies are risky endeavors for drug developers. To enable research, development and access to these high-priced drug therapies, biopharmaceutical companies understand that the way they do reimbursements must change. ...
Why do we need new cell contenders in the CAR field? Well, different CAR immune cells have different advantages and sometimes unique challenges or limitations. So, we began our discussion of alternative CAR-cell types with CAR-NK cells due to their current standing as the most popular alternative CAR-based therapy. However, the expansion of CARs to other cell types has already begun and ...
