Institut Pasteur Korea has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with four Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH)-affiliated research institutes with the aim of pursuing joint research on mRNA vaccine and treatment development.

Altamira Therapeutics Ltd.’s nanoparticle-based delivery platform has been successfully tested for circular mRNA.

The milestone is for the identification of candidates meeting the predefined lead compound criteria, and follows the initial milestone achieved in December 2023.

Taipei, Taiwan- and Watertown, Mass.-based Syncell recently raised $15 million in series A financing to advance its subcellular protein purification and spatial proteomics analysis product called Microscoop Mint, based on its Microscoop platform technology.

Gilead Sciences Inc. and Terray Therapeutics Inc. have entered into a strategic collaboration to discover and develop novel small-molecule therapies across multiple targets.

The first patenting to emerge from Filtro Medical Inc. describes the development of blood filtration devices designed to reduce systemic exposure to chemotherapy or other therapeutic agents that have been delivered into a target treatment location.

Researchers from the University of California San Francisco (UCSF) have successfully replicated the design of regulatory T cells, achieving local targeted immune suppression and protection from CAR T-cell cytotoxicity. Many of the treatments used so far in the context of inflammatory and autoimmune disorders lead to systemic immunosuppression. In this sense, limiting immunosuppression locally to targeted tissues may help overcome systemic toxicity.
