SAN DIEGO, June 22 (Reuters) - China, which now conducts more clinical drug trials, opens new tab than the U.S., still lags in the quality and commercial reach of its biomedical science, according to a recent survey, opens new tab of senior U.S. leaders in industry and academia. The poll, conducted by Cure Innovation Index, found that China is seen [...]
In a paper published in Cell, a USC Stem Cell-led team reports a new way of generating a renewable and expandable supply of the progenitor cells that give rise to macrophages. These immune cells help drive the body's response against pathogens, and they hold strong promise as the basis for immunotherapies against cancer and other [...]
A surprising backup pathway allows cells to make a crucial amino acid when their primary machinery fails. For decades, biologists believed cells had only one way to access a molecule they cannot live without. New research suggests they were wrong. Scientists at Montana State University have uncovered a previously unknown cellular survival pathway that allows mammalian cells [...]
Artificial cells created in the laboratory offer a wide range of potential applications. Until now, however, their membranes—unlike those of real cells—have been virtually impermeable. Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research, led by Director Katharina Landfester, have now developed a new method to make the membranes of artificial cells more permeable [...]
Ozempic and similar weight-loss drugs were linked to a striking 30% reduction in breast cancer risk in a study of more than 110,000 women. Popular weight-loss and diabetes medications such as Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, and Zepbound may offer an unexpected benefit beyond helping people lose weight. A large new study found that women taking [...]
Scientists studying the remarkable regenerative abilities of planarian flatworms have uncovered a previously unknown type of immune cell with an unusually destructive defense strategy. What if an immune cell could wipe out nearby threats by detonating itself? That is exactly what Stanford researchers have discovered in one of nature’s most unlikely creatures: the planarian [...]
Bay Area biotech SonoThera is bubbling to a clinical boil after raising a $125 million series B with the backing of some of the biggest names in pharma. Vida Ventures led the raise, with the venture arms of UCB, Bayer, Otsuka Pharmaceutical and Johnson & Johnson all pitching in to support SonoThera’s unique delivery system for [...]
With drug pricing pressure building from the U.S., a healthcare-focused consortium of five European countries is calling for a “unified approach” to strengthen Europe’s pharmaceutical framework and access to innovative medicines. Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Austria and Ireland together make up the Beneluxa Initiative, a joint healthcare partnership that aims to make new, innovative medicines [...]
