By Allessandra DiCorato October 11, 2023 In 2011, Robert Manguso was working in a cell biology lab when his mother was diagnosed with Merkel cell carcinoma, a rare and aggressive skin cancer. The drugs work by blocking a protein, PD-1 — which helps keep immune responses in check — and stimulating the immune system to attack tumors.

Researchers from the Laboratory of Bacteriology at The Rockefeller University have now found that bacteria sense phages by a defensive response named CBASS (cyclic oligonucleotide-based antiphage signalling system) which detects viral RNA. In bacteria , cGAS-like cyclases are central parts of the CBASS immune response.

Draft guidance on potency assays for CGT products garners extensive stakeholder input Late last year, the FDA published a draft update to its 2011 guidance on potency assays for cell and gene therapy products, unveiling a major shift in approach to the issue. As a result, the 2011 guidance was generally seen as basic and outdated.
