In this first-in-human Alzheimer’s study, Wnt-activated autologous stem cells are delivered intracerebroventricularly (directly into the brain) to address neuronal loss, while also reducing amyloid and tau biomarkers and improving cognition. Early data from this regenerative approach could help early drug discovery teams shape target selection, biomarker development and trial design.
What if familiar lab formats could be redesigned to remove the weak points in permeability and absorbance testing? This article explores how design choices in common consumables can improve both speed and reproducibility in early-stage research.
Thibault Géoui explains why AI could finally help pharma overcome its productivity crisis and why the payoff won’t come as quickly as the optimists claim.
Drug discovery is slow, costly and often unsuccessful. DTR hears how GATC Health is applying AI and multiomics to make the process faster, more precise and less reliant on trial and error.
Choosing the right bispecific antibody format can make or break your therapy’s success. This article explores how format impacts function, manufacturability and development strategy - helping you make the best choice from the start.
Developing robust potency assays for Antibody-Drug Conjugates (ADCs) is crucial for ensuring their clinical success, but designing assays that meet both technical and regulatory standards is challenging. Here, Abzena’s CSO Campbell Bunce explores the complexities of assay development and the importance of ensuring accuracy, consistency and regulatory alignment for ADCs…
An interview with Thibault Géoui reveals why this technology wave might finally break through pharma's productivity crisis – and why it will take longer than the optimists claim.
Engineered cell therapies are offering a potential new way to treat lupus – not by suppressing symptoms, but by reprogramming the immune system itself. For the first time, lasting remission looks like a real possibility.
Oral peptide-based drugs are set to revolutionise the pharmaceutical industry, overcoming the long-standing challenge of poor bioavailability. Santosh Kulkarni reveals how new breakthroughs in drug discovery and delivery offer the potential for more convenient, effective treatments for a range of conditions – without the need for injections.
AI is moving beyond drug design to answer a critical question: can a promising compound actually be manufactured at scale? By predicting synthetic feasibility early, machine learning tools are helping drug developers avoid costly failures, streamline R&D and design molecules that are both effective and practical to produce.
Bispecific T-cell engagers are advancing fast - but complexity still slows development. This article explores how data-driven, platform-based strategies are helping overcome design and manufacturing hurdles to bring these next-gen therapies to patients faster.
Can a cholesterol enzyme help treat an untreatable liver disease? Esperion’s ACLY programme is using multiomic and preclinical data to evaluate its potential in primary sclerosing cholangitis.
Recombinant antibody technology is redefining research standards - bringing biopharma-grade precision, consistency, and customisation to the lab. Discover how advances like Fc engineering and chimerisation are accelerating progress from basic discovery to clinical insight.
As radioligand therapy continues to show promise, its application in solid tumours remains limited by long-standing biological challenges. In this interview, Julien Torgue, CSO at Orano Med, discusses a new collaborative platform – Radio-DARPins – and how it could help overcome key barriers to clinical progress.
Discover how interactive response technology (IRT) is revolutionising the management of cell and gene therapy (CGT) trials by streamlining complex workflows, ensuring regulatory compliance and enhancing patient outcomes.
