Picture a medical landscape where treatments can slip past the body's toughest defenses, delivering healing payloads directly to diseased cells without harming the surrounding healthy tissue. This isn't science fiction but the tantalizing promise of engineered exosomes—tiny biological couriers that
Imagine a world where a single treatment could manage type 2 diabetes or obesity for months at a time, freeing patients from the burden of daily medications and the frustrating cycle of weight regain. This isn’t a distant dream but a potential reality being shaped by Junevity, a biotechnology
Imagine a world where life-saving drugs reach patients faster, with fewer animals harmed and costs slashed by millions. This isn’t a distant dream but a tangible goal as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) pivots toward human-relevant drug safety models. With new draft guidance released
In the rapidly advancing world of biotechnology and medicine, protein engineering stands as a cornerstone for innovation, yet it faces persistent challenges in designing proteins with precise, tailored functionalities that meet specific needs. For years, scientists have wrestled with the
The pharmaceutical landscape is on the brink of a seismic shift with the introduction of the FDA’s Commissioner’s National Priority Voucher (CNPV) pilot program, a bold initiative designed to cut the review timeline for drug and biological product applications from the standard 10-12 months down to
What lies at the heart of life’s intricate design, shaping everything from a single cell to the complex tissues of the human body? The answer may surprise many: it’s not just the cells themselves, but the unseen network surrounding them, known as the extracellular matrix (ECM). This dynamic web of
