After spaceflight record, NASA looks to protect astronauts on even longer trips

Leaps.org — At T-minus six seconds, the main engines of the Atlantis Space Shuttle ignited, rattling its capsule "like a skyscraper in an earthquake," according to astronaut Tom Jones, describing the 1988 launch. As the rocket lifted off and accelerated to three times the force of Earth's gravity, "It felt as i...

Tiny, tough "water bears" may help bring new vaccines and medicines to sub-Saharan Africa

Leaps.org — Microscopic tardigrades, widely considered to be some of the toughest animals on earth, can survive for decades without oxygen or water and are thought to have lived through a crash-landing on the moon. Also known as water bears, they survive by fully dehydrating and later rehydrating themselves - a...

Are the gains from gain-of-function research worth the risks?

Leaps.org — Scientists have long argued that gain-of-function research, which can make viruses and other infectious agents more contagious or more deadly, was necessary to develop therapies and vaccines to counter the pathogens in case they were used for biological warfare. As the SARS-CoV-2 origins are being i...

Vortex-Focusing Microfluidics Yields Precisely Sized Liposomes at Scale

Vortex-Focusing Microfluidics Yields Precisely Sized Liposomes at Scale

Genetic Engineering & Biotechnology News — When synthesizing nanoscale liposomes, the ability to control vesicle size helps define their pharmaceutical properties. Conventional microfluidic liposome synthesis methods, however, are limited in terms of the sizes they can produce and the consistency of those sizes. A new microfluidic vortex-focusing technique resolves those challenges, generating liposomes at precise sizes with negligible size variance.

Leaps.org — CSL Behring's new gene therapy for hemophilia, Hemgenix, costs $3.5 million for one treatment, but helps the body create substances that allow blood to clot. It appears to be a cure, eliminating the need for other treatments for many years at least. Likewise, Novartis's Kymriah mobilizes the body's ...

Does CRISPR Have a Bias Problem? | BioSpace

BioSpace — Recent scientific papers report errors in CRISPR gene editing linked to ancestry. Specifically, greater genomic diversity, like that found in African populations, makes it less likely that the guide RNA used to target the area to be edited will find the target.

Sen. Warren Leads Call for Prostate Cancer Drug Pricing Reform | BioSpace

BioSpace — A group of 25 senators, led by Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), requested that HHS Sec. Xavier Becerra exercise march-in rights for Xtandi (enzalutamide), a prostate cancer therapeutic. March-in rights give the government the right to take a license for itself if it helped to fund the product owner's research.

Octopus Intelligence Sheds Light on Evolution of Complex Brains

Octopus Intelligence Sheds Light on Evolution of Complex Brains

Genetic Engineering & Biotechnology News — Meeting an octopus is, in many respects, the closest we can come to meeting interplanetary aliens. Yet, new research shows their brains have some startling commonalities to those of humans-perhaps most notably in terms of microRNA (miRNA) and the role it plays in brain development. miRNA may be crucial for the development of complex brains.

Is Green Always Good? The Sustainability Conundrum

Is Green Always Good? The Sustainability Conundrum

Genetic Engineering & Biotechnology News — Biomanufacturers are transitioning to greener, more sustainable processes and facilities, and some of the largest pledge to achieve net-zero carbon emissions before 2050. What constitutes environmentally responsible practices, however, isn't as clearcut as it seems. Take single-use biobags. By eliminating the need for cleaning, they reduce the use of water and fuel for steam, but the bags are petroleum-based.

Oxford University Press (OUP) — A decade ago, oceanographers studying the effects of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill on dolphins were faced with listening to and classifying more than 52 million echolocation signals. "You couldn't listen to them in real time to get a sense of what happened, so grad students had to manually scroll through summary data and classify the sounds," Kait Frasier, an assistant project scientist with the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, recalled.

Full-Circle Feedback

Full-Circle Feedback

Training — It really is lonely at the top. Employees may receive ample feedback during the early and mid-points of their careers, but that lessens as they grow in leadership positions. "By the time they're considered high potentials, that feedback may not be authentic," notes Mary Herrmann, managing director of the executive coaching practice at BPI group.

The Art of Biotech Customization

The Art of Biotech Customization

Genetic Engineering & Biotechnology News — GMP-good manufacturing practice-is such a common term in bioprocessing that its precise meaning is becoming clouded. Such ambiguity can create problems across organizations. Just because multiple parties follow good manufacturing (or good lab) practices doesn't mean they all follow the same practices.

The Blockbuster Is Dead. Long Live the Blockbuster!

Genetic Engineering & Biotechnology News — The blockbuster drug model once reigned supreme. Now it is being succeeded by the precision medicine model. During this transition, the pharmaceutical industry may worry about losing the blockbuster model's strengths-broad, simple indications and large, steady revenues. Yet the pharmaceutical industry should be reassured by the rise of precision medicine.
