Collaboration to develop an automated CAR T-cell manufacturing system for clinics
German oncology clinics are working with Optima Pharma to create an automated manufacturing unit for decentralised production of CAR T-cell therapies in treatment centres.
Lighting up hydrogels
A new class of hydrogels leverage light for better drug delivery and regenerative medicine treatment. Hydrogels are commonly used inside the body to help in tissue regeneration and drug delivery. However, once inside, they can be challenging to control. A team of researchers led by Professor Akhilesh Gaharwar of Texas A&M University is developing a new way to manipulate the gel — by using light.
