Cell storage has never been a new topic. In the promotion of cell storage, these precious biological resources, from stem cells to immune cells, can be stored in case of emergency through freezing, and play a key role in treating diseases, delaying aging and even regenerative medicine. Simply put, storing your own cells is an investment in future health, although this is expensive. “The most expensive unit price is 176,000 yuan, and it is stored for 20 years,” Shanghai Cell Therapy Group, which applied for an IPO on the Hong Kong stock market, revealed to us the tip of the iceberg of the cell storage business. Relying on the cell storage business, Shanghai Cell Therapy Group earns 600 million yuan a year and supports the company’s IPO. So, what is the clinical value of cell storage? What kind of business is this? The reason why it is called “the first ...

MNC Roche took out a “machete”. In Roche’s 2024Q2 PPT presentation, there are 5 pipelines in the anti-infection pipeline echelon, 4 of which are Ruzotolimod (TLR7 agonist), Xalnesiran (small interfering RNA), PDL1 LNA and HBsAg monoclonal antibody, all of which are in Phase I and II clinical trials. When it comes to the presentation of 2024Q3, the situation has changed. Roche cut off the above 4 pipelines with the target indication of hepatitis B at one time. The company did not give a specific reason for the “clearance”. The most speculation in the market is that the clinical pipeline data is “unsatisfactory + Roche streamlines the pipeline to focus its energy and investment on core areas”. However, for Roche, the anti-infection sector has always been a relatively marginal module of the company. In the key drivers introduced by the company in 2024Q2 after 2025, the molecules of the anti-infection (hepatitis ...

On December 11, according to the official website of CDE, Xinlitai’s Class 1 imported chemical drug DD01 injection obtained implicit approval for clinical trials and is intended to be used for weight management in obese adult patients or overweight patients with one or more weight-related risk factors (such as hypertension, type 2 diabetes or dyslipidemia).

According to a news report on December 10, ChipScreen Biotech announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Chengdu ChipScreen Pharmaceuticals Co., Ltd., recently received the Acceptance Notice for the clinical trial registration of domestically-produced drugs issued by the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) Drug Review Center. The clinical trial application for CS12088 has been accepted by the NMPA Drug Review Center. CS12088 is classified as an HBV core assembly modulator, featuring significant antiviral activity, liver-targeting characteristics, and good safety and tolerability. This medication works by interfering with the assembly of the HBV core, blocking the packaging of the viral pre-genomic RNA into the core, which in turn inhibits the replication of HBV DNA and suppresses the production of mature viral particles. The company will actively advance this research and development project and will strictly comply with relevant regulations to timely fulfill its disclosure obligations regarding the subsequent progress of the project. https://finance.eastmoney.com/a/202412103264202237.html
