The encapsulation of tissue in semi-permeable membranes is a technology with high potential and in due time several new therapies based on this technology will be tested in clinical trials. Recent, new legislation requires that these investigational medicinal products used in clinical trials Phase I must be produced according to Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP). Consequently, the activities of GMP are expanding to the field of research and researchers might need to change developed protocols in order to meet GMP legislation. This chapters gives an overview of the overall guidelines covering GMP and more specific guidelines dealing with cell based therapies and gene therapy.

Introduction: Although there are numerous options for epilepsy treatment, its effective control continues unsatisfactory. Thus, search for alternative therapeutic options to improve the efficacy/safety binomial of drugs becomes very attractive to investigate. In this context, intranasal administration of antiseizure drugs formulated on state-of-the-art nanosystems can be a promising strategy.

The rapid development and deployment of mRNA and non-mRNA COVID-19 vaccines have played a pivotal role in mitigating the global pandemic. Despite their success in reducing severe disease outcomes, emerging concerns about cardiovascular complications have raised questions regarding their safety. This systematic review critically evaluates the evidence on the cardiovascular effects of COVID-19 vaccines, assessing both their protective and adverse impacts, while considering the challenges posed by the limited availability of randomized controlled trial (RCT) data on these rare adverse events.
