Engineers program human and bacterial cells to keep a record of complex molecular events Using a technique that can precisely edit DNA bases, MIT researchers have created a way to store complex “memories” in the DNA of living cells, including human cells. The new system, known as DOMINO, can be used to record the intensity,
Pfizer announced today an additional half billion dollar investment for the construction of its state-of-the-art gene therapy manufacturing facility in Sanford, North Carolina. This facility is anticipated to support Pfizer’s continuing investment in gene therapy research and development, similar to Pfizer’s Chapel Hill and Kit Creek, North Carolina research and development sites. This facility would
iVexSol’s project will tackle the cost and shortages of these treatments through high-volume production solution Source Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada Through the Innovation Superclusters Initiative, the Government of Canada is taking immediate and targeted action to build on Canada’s existing strengths to help our companies and their workers get ahead in the global
Source Transparency Market Research Gene Therapy Market – Snapshot The global gene therapy market is expanding at an exponential pace due to promising therapeutic outcomes of gene therapy, high prevalence and rise in incidence of cancer, and large number of clinical research pipeline products. In terms of revenue, the market was valued at US$ 17.0
Whether cell types in the brain have been conserved during evolution is not clear. A comparison of the molecular recipes that define brain cell types in humans and mice reveals similarities and differences between species.

This new resource provides clear, simplified information on indication-, technology-, or company-specific upcoming data readouts and other clinical events. ARM has carefully curated all entries to ensure they fall within our narrowly defined criteria for regenerative medicines, and includes many milestones which are not reported in other clinical trial datasets, including anticipated product approvals. Currently, the database includes 188 anticipated events and includes a search-and-download function, and
In modern medicine, bone and dental loss and defects are common and widespread morbidities, for which regenerative therapy has shown great promise. Mesenchymal stem cells, obtained from various sources and playing an essential role in organ development and postnatal repair, have exhibited enormous potential for regenerating bone and dental tissue. Currently, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs)-based
Mutations in Mitochondrial DNA Induced by Cell Reprogramming May Trigger Immune Response In 2006, scientists discovered a way to “reprogram” mature cells — adult skin cells, for example — into stem cells that could, in principle, give rise to any tissue or organ in the body. Many assumed it was only a matter of time
It is evident that remote field systems have the potential to greatly advance in vitro tissue engineering. However, the convergence of magnetic, optical, and acoustic technologies with in vitro tissue engineering is a relatively new development and, as a result, many studies exist only in the academic sphere and are far from disrupting the clinical
When the mice brain cells glowed, the researchers knew they were onto something. The study, from a team at Emory University School of Medicine, Atlanta Veterans Affairs Medical Center and Tzu Chi University, announces a novel, non-invasive, regenerative method called optochemogenetics that could improve stroke recovery (J. Neuroscience10.1523/JNEUROSCI.2010-18.2019). The second leading cause of death worldwide, according to the World
