Scaling up the manufacture of cell therapies can be complex and challenging. Maintaining critical quality attributes of the cell product during its final formulation and fill-finish into multiple containers can be especially difficult and laborious. Here, we tested the automated Finia™ Fill and Finish System to efficiently scale up the formulation and fill-finish of a T cell product, and then assessed cell quality and product consistency across different sub-lots filled during this expanded process.

Article Synopsis
  • Fenoterol and its derivatives can inhibit cell growth in astrocytoma cells via β(2)-adrenergic receptor stimulation, but their effects on different cell types, like hepatocarcinoma cells, are less understood.
  • In HepG2 cells, β(2)-AR stimulation by fenoterol boosts cell growth, while a derivative, MNF, decreases growth and increases cell death, showing contrasting effects.
  • The study reveals that MNF's action links β(2)-AR and cannabinoid receptors, suggesting MNF uniquely engages both pathways, marking it as a dual-action ligand.
