CAR cell therapy has demonstrated that immune cells can be genetically programmed to recognize and attack disease-associated targets. Yet conventional CAR-T therapy generally depends on an elaborate ex vivo workflow involving cell collection, genetic modification,...
Rentosertib reaches Phase III, Isomorphic Labs raises $2.1 billion, and the EU defers its high-risk AI deadlines. What is still missing for AI-discovered drugs is an approval. AI-discovered drugs entered a different phase in 2026. One molecule has now reached a Phase...
While cancer immunotherapies—particularly immune checkpoint blockades (ICBs)—have transformed clinical oncology, primary and acquired resistance remain major hurdles in solid tumors. Mounting evidence reveals that this non-responsiveness is deeply tied to the...
CAR-T therapy is one of the most discussed cancer treatments of the past decade, and one of the most widely misunderstood. The name is an acronym. The science involves genetic engineering. The price runs to hundreds of thousands of pounds per patient. This guide...
The UK life sciences sector is entering an important phase of growth. The Government's Life Sciences Sector Plan sets an ambition for the UK to become the leading life sciences economy in Europe by 2030 and the third globally by 2035. It also reports that the sector...
Biopharma VC funding delivered its strongest opening half in four years. Yet the headline figure hides a widening split. Mature, de-risked companies are attracting capital, while the seed-stage startups that supply the sector’s long-term pipeline are not. Data...
For decades, the global medical community has looked to Japan with a sense of wonder, specifically regarding the Japanese paradox of longevity. Epidemiological data consistently highlights a significant cardiovascular health gap between Japan and Western nations like...
For years, induced pluripotent stem cells, or iPS cells, have stood for one of the most ambitious ideas in modern medicine - that it may be possible to create replacement human cells on-demand and use them to restore lost function in the body. With 20 years of history...
An axolotl loses its leg to a predator. Four weeks later, it has a functional replacement bones, nerves, muscles, and skin are perfectly re-formed. It is a biological masterpiece that has fascinated science for centuries. For decades, the prevailing dogma in...
When we say "diamonds," most people think of a luxurious necklace or a super sparkly ring. A research lab would be the last place people imagine them being used. Interestingly, natural diamonds are getting a lot of attention in science and healthcare research. And...
Cell and gene therapies are approved — so why aren’t they reaching patients? New industry report warns access systems — not science — are now the primary bottleneck A new report from Phacilitate argues that the biggest threat to cell and gene therapy (CGT) expansion...
Life science organizations are under pressure to do two things at once: communicate complex science with precision and keep pace with a digital market that moves in days, not quarters. This tension defines one of the most consequential challenges in modern life...
Imagine a virus so cunning it hides in your body's own cells, evading detection for decades while you take daily pills just to keep it at bay. That's the reality for nearly 40 million people living with HIV worldwide. But what if we could flip the script—turning those...
In pre-commercial life sciences environments, marketing technology (MarTech) platforms are often implemented well before launch. Teams select, configure, and integrate systems quickly, expecting campaigns to perform flawlessly. But small gaps in governance, ownership,...
70,000 sq. ft. facility expands the company's biopharma, chemical and cold chain storage capacities DUBLIN, Ireland, (March 6, 2026) - Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc, the world leader in serving science, today announced the opening of a new, 70,000 sq.ft. distribution...
Over the next decade, modern medicine is poised to undergo a redefinition that has not been seen in generations. The surge in innovation, transformational scientific discoveries and rapidly maturing technologies is redefining patient outcomes. The biotech industry is...
Did you know that your body has its own biological process for clearing out old or damaged cells, and recycling dysfunctional components to prioritize healthier, more productive ones? For billions of years, autophagy has acted as a kind of evolutionary survival...
The England Rare Diseases Action Plan 2026 outlines how the Department of Health and Social Care and partner organisations are delivering commitments under the UK Rare Diseases Framework to improve outcomes for people living with rare conditions in England. The report...
