The Manufacturing Bottleneck That Defines Cellular Therapy Economics The cellular therapy revolution faces a fundamental economic challenge: autologous manufacturing costs between $78,000 and $93,000 per patient before hospital administration begins, with facility costs alone comprising 51-56% of total production expenses. This isn't scalable manufacturing in the traditional pharmaceutical sense. It's […]

University of Queensland researchers say the discovery of a new stress reduction role for a naturally occurring molecule in the body could lead to new drugs and treatment for metabolic disorders and ageing. Professor Steven Zuryn, a molecular geneticist from UQ’s Queensland Brain Institute, was part of a team that […]

Researchers at the University of Southampton have developed a promising new way to bolster the body’s immune system response to cancer. In a study published in Nature Communications , researchers used specially engineered multi-pronged antibodies to better activate cancer-killing T cells. The antibodies work by ‘grabbing’ and ‘clustering’ multiple immune […]

Passive activities such as watching television have been linked to worse memory and cognitive skills, while ‘active sitting’ like playing cards or reading correlate with better brain health, researchers have found. Associate Professor Paul Gardiner from The University of Queensland’s School of Public Health said the findings could be used […]
