T cells play a big role in bringing cell and gene therapies to patients. Despite this clinical potential, scientists developing T cell therapies such as chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cells, ...

In January 2024, the FDA updated its guidance on CAR-T therapies, emphasizing the need for enhanced safety and quality measures. This update followed a series of warnings regarding the risk of T cell ...

Scientists from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have developed a biochemical technique that captures fleeting ...

Biologists have uncovered a quality control timing mechanism tied to cell division. The 'stopwatch' function keeps track of mitosis and acts as a protective measure when the process takes too long, ...

The life science group Sartorius is launching an integrated system for the production and quality control (QC) of autologous cell therapies.

The current path to CAR-T cell therapy is, by any measure, a logistical ordeal. A patient’s immune cells must be drawn out of ...

The most common method for evaluating replication competency of lentivirus and AAV vectors is through serial passaging of virus in cell culture lines and subsequent identification of viral particles ...

From cell to finished module, rigorous quality management is needed to prevent losses or reliability problems in the field. Image: PVEL. Advances in cell technology combined with increasingly complex ...

Images of human cells at different stages of mitosis. Chromosomes are colored cyan, spindle microtubules in red and spindle poles are yellow. Each day, hundreds of billions of cells in our body cycle ...
