Cell Therapy: Forge Biologics Labcorps collobration aims to accelerate gene therapy


Forge Biologics and Labcorp have entered into a collaboration to accelerate gene therapy development and commercialization. Forge Biologics is a gene therapy-focused contract development and manufacturing organization, while Labcorp is a leading global life sciences company that provides diagnostic and drug development services.

The collaboration aims to leverage Forge Biologics' expertise in adeno-associated virus (AAV) gene therapy development and Labcorp's capabilities in clinical trial management, biomarker analysis, and diagnostic testing to accelerate the development of gene therapies. As part of the collaboration, Labcorp will provide clinical trial testing and biomarker analysis services, while Forge Biologics will provide AAV gene therapy development and manufacturing services.

The collaboration will initially focus on advancing Forge Biologics' gene therapy pipeline, including its lead product candidate, FBX-101, for the treatment of Krabbe disease. The companies plan to expand the collaboration to include other gene therapy programs in the future.

Overall, this collaboration has the potential to accelerate the development and commercialization of gene therapies, which could have a significant impact on the treatment of genetic diseases.

What precisely is Computational Biomedicine?

Image
Computational biomedicine is the use of computer-based tools and approaches to simulate and model the human body in health and disease. Medicine is a new and quickly expanding subject that encompasses the entire spectrum of human biology, physiology, and illness. This involves genomes as well as the entire human body, epidemiology, and community health. Molecular medicine, simulation, modeling approaches, imaging techniques, and information technology are all part of computational biomedicine What is the need for computational biomedicine? Humans are unique, complex systems with a plethora of information to be explored, from a biological cell made up of hundreds of different chemicals that work together, to the billions of cells that make up our tissue  organs, and organ systems, to our society, which is made up of 6 billion unique interacting individuals. Such complex systems do not have identical and replaceable parts. Individuals have individual personalities that add value and c

On this World Multiple Sclerosis Day, keep an eye out for indicators of weariness, weakness, and muscle spasms

The increasing stress in one's life, such as financial troubles, relationship problems, or any sort of abuse, can have a significant impact on one's health . A Michigan Medicine study discovered a correlation between stress and poor health. The study, which was published in the journal Brain and Behavior, also stated that childhood and adult stressors may contribute to the relapse of multiple sclerosis, an autoimmune disorder that affects the brain and spinal cord.   The immune system of the body destroys the protective coating of nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord in MS. MS patients may experience unusual, often painful exacerbations of their symptoms. While the actual origin of MS is unknown, Adigos Stem Cells Regenerative Medicine Researcher stated it involves a combination of hereditary vulnerability and non-genetic triggers such as viruses, low vitamin D levels, or environmental factors.   Relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS), Secondary progressive MS (SPMS), Prim

What are the top three regenerative medicine grants?

Image
    Regenerative medicine is an exciting and rapidly developing field that holds the potential to revolutionize healthcare by repairing or replacing damaged tissues and organs. There are many grants available for researchers working in this field, but here are three of the most significant: The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Stem Cell Research Grants: The NIH offers a range of grants for researchers working in stem cell research, which is a key area of regenerative medicine. These grants support research on stem cells, including embryonic stem cells , induced pluripotent stem cells, and adult stem cells. They also fund studies on the use of stem cells to develop therapies for a range of diseases and conditions. The California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM) Grants: CIRM is a state agency in California that funds research in stem cell biology and regenerative medicine . CIRM offers grants for basic and translational research, clinical trials, and training programs
