Exosomes – small membrane-bound vesicles typically below 100 nm in diameter- are secreted by cells under normal and pathological conditions, and they serve a number of functions depending on the type of cell they originate from. This relationship has been exploited to advance exosomes as therapeutic agents. They contain both protein and RNA, the nature
Following an eventful week at Phacilitate’s Cell and Gene Therapy World Forum in Miami, Akron just unveiled its new website, which can be accessed at www.akronbiotech.com. The new website sports a brand new look alongside a refreshed logo, which features Akron’s recognizable image that has been updated for the new year. Since 2006, Akron gone through multiple changes, and the
If the development of genetic editing approaches to induce functional changes to cell behavior to enhance their efficacy has led to remarkable advances in gene-engineered cell therapy, the development, on the other hand, of synthetic systems for tissue engineered and regenerative medicine-based therapies has made inroads as a robust, fully-controllable bottom-up approach to cell and gene
