When considering the development pathway for a genetically modified cell therapy product, it is critically important that the product is engineered consistent with its intended human use. For scientists looking to develop and commercialize a new technology, the decision to select a genetic modification method depends on several practical considerations. Whichever path is chosen, the developer must understand the key risks and potential mitigations of the cell engineering approach. The developer should also understand the clinical implications: permanent/memory establishment versus transient expression, and clinical manufacturing considerations when dealing with transplantation of genetically engineered cells. This review covers important topics for mapping out a strategy for developers of new cell-based therapeutics. Biological, technological, manufacturing, and clinical considerations are all presented to map out development lanes for the initiation and risk management of new gene-based cell therapeutic products for human use.

Extraction, characterization, and hemostatic effect of collagen from the scales of Megalonibea fusca.

Marine collagen is gaining more attraction than terrestrial collagen because it is free of zoonotic disease and religious constrain. In this study, we aimed to investigate and compare the physicochemical properties and functional characteristics of acid-soluble collagen (ASC-MF) and pepsin-soluble collagen (PSC-MF) extracted from scales of Megalonibea fusca. ASC-MF and PSC-MF were evaluated in terms of yield, collagen type, amino acid composition, thermal stability, microstructure, cytotoxicity, and other physicochemical parameters.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play a significant role in tumor progression, and regulating miRNA expression with small molecules may offer a new approach to cancer therapy. Among them, miRNA-20b has been found to be dysregulated in several cancers, including nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Herein, an in silico high-throughput computer screen was conducted to identify small molecules that downregulate miR-20b using the three-dimensional structure of the Dicer binding site on pre-miR-20b.

Squamous cell carcinomas of the head and neck (HNSCC) originate in the upper aerodigestive tract, including the oral cavity, pharynx, and larynx. Current treatments of locally advanced HNSCC often lead to high treatment failure, and disease recurrence, resulting in poor survival rates. Advances in mRNA technologies and lipid nanoparticle (LNP) delivery systems led to several clinical trials involving LNP-CRISPR-Cas9 mRNA-based therapeutics.

Background: Endometriosis is a complicated and enigmatic disease that significantly diminishes the quality of life for women affected by this condition. Increased levels of human telomerase reverse transcriptase () mRNA and telomerase activity have been found in the endometrium of these patients. However, the precise function of TERT in endometriosis and the associated biological mechanisms remain poorly understood.
