Most industries face mould contamination issues, including medical products, hospitals, cosmetics, paint, among others. Learn more about mould and what you can do to combat it.
With comment from Diane Paskiet, chair of the Product Quality Research Institute (PQRI) L&E Working Group, EPR’s Hannah Balfour outlines three key exposure-based safety thresholds and explores how the new extractables and leachables (E&Ls) strategy for parenteral drug products was established.
Dr Owen Seddon, Consultant in Infectious Diseases and Medical Microbiology at University Hospital of Wales, explains how successes in the development of the coronavirus vaccine must be used in the fight against other vaccine preventable disease.
Disulphide bonds between cysteines play a critical role in the stability and activity of therapeutic antibodies. Here, Dr Ioannis Papayannopoulos, Principal Scientist at Dragonfly Therapeutics, describes the characterisation of the oxidation state of cysteines and formed disulphides in therapeutic antibody drugs.
The results indicate that mRNA-1273.211 at the 50 µg dose level induced higher antibody responses than the 50 µg mRNA-1273 booster, even when additional variants of concern were not included in the booster vaccine.
IRBM’s goal will be to help ensure a more resilient global response to future epidemics by producing second generation vaccines and treatments for SARS-CoV-2 and new coronaviruses.
The facility is designed around a central unit that comprises several fully digitalised modules, which can produce up to four vaccines simultaneously, regardless of the vaccine technology used.
Novel and advanced therapies have come on in leaps and bounds over the past decade. Some cell and gene therapies have already reached the approvals stage, while others have now entered the later development stages. As a result, manufacturing process consistency, GMP standards and more must now meet more formal…
Edward Samuel, EVP Technical Operations at Achilles Therapeutics, explains why industrialised manufacturing and scale-up of autologous cellular immunotherapies will require fully closed systems and process automation.
Most therapeutic approaches in immuno-oncology focus on targeting the adaptive immune system; innate immunity has only recently gathered momentum. One of the most potent receptors for activating innate immune cells such as natural killer cells and macrophages is CD16A. Addressing this target mimics the body’s natural defense against potential threats,…
Phase III trial shows Evusheld (tixagevimab and cilgavimab) significantly reduces the risk of developing symptomatic COVID-19 in vulnerable populations.
The results of a recent international study suggest that left-handed gold nanoparticles can increase vaccine effectiveness by 25 percent, providing useful adjuvant capabilities.
WuXi Biologics awarded the Bioprocessing Excellence in Viral Clearance and Safety accolade for the second time at the Asia-Pacific Bioprocessing Excellence Awards (ABEA) 2022 event.
Download this in-depth focus to discover why closed systems and process automation are key for industrialised autologous cell therapy manufacturing and how CMC strategies for cell and gene therapies need to evolve.
Features in this in-depth focus highlight developments in the MRI contrast agent space, explore the development of precision medicine for chronic diseases and explain why immunotherapies should engage the innate immune system in the fight against cancer.
