On September 9, the House of Representatives of the United States Congress returned from a summer break and immediately scheduled a series of legislative votes, including the draft Biosafety Act (H.R. 8333). The draft biosecurity law passed the House of Representatives with 306 votes in favor and 81 votes against, but the 70% support rate made it the most divisive draft bill in the same batch, and even narrowly fell below the “bottom line” of more than two-thirds of the votes to pass the bill. The draft Biosafety Act places five companies, including WuXi AppTec and WuXi Biologics, on the list of “biotechnology companies of concern” on the grounds of “national security”, and intends to restrict the use of funds, loans or subsidies from the United States government to cooperate with these companies. Unlike previous committees that voted in small groups, this time there were several members of the House ...
Recently, the State Council Information Office held a series of press conferences on “Promoting High-quality Development”. The leadership of the National Health Commission answered many questions in the field of domestic medicine and health at the meeting. When introducing the basic situation, Lei Haichao, director of the National Health Commission, said that the National Health Commission adheres to the public welfare and works with relevant departments to deepen the medical reform. Over the past decade, especially since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the old operating mechanism of using drugs to support doctors and consumables to support doctors has been historically broken, and a new operating mechanism dominated by medical services has been initially established. The income of public medical institutions has changed from the original three channels to two channels of government financial subsidies and medical service charges. “The old mechanism of relying on ...
First, the essence of business is market competition, and the market is the battlefield. Business people should have a sales mindset, and salespeople need to have a business perspective. There is a view that sales and business are different positions in pharmaceutical companies, with different responsibilities and assessment standards, and it is difficult to integrate the two positions, so you can focus on your own duties. However, the performance appraisal of most pharmaceutical companies is still stuck in the “butt determines the head” standard, and there is rarely a global vision of “the head decides the butt”. It is beneficial for sales and business to empathize, but it cannot completely resolve all conflicts and disputes. At the time of the transformation of the pharmaceutical industry, cross-disciplinary talents who are both proficient in sales and business are increasingly becoming valuable resources for enterprises to compete for. The business position in the ...
The digital therapeutics industry has evolved and evolved beyond all expectations. In June 2021, Pear Therapeutics, the “first stock of digital therapeutics”, was listed; In April 2023, he filed for bankruptcy and bankruptcy; A year later, Better Therapeutics, another star digital therapeutics company, also fell; Four months ago, Akili chose to sell himself and delist and go private. So far, the three musketeers of overseas digital therapeutics have all fallen. If you count from the listing of Pear, a three-year cycle, the waves will sweep away the heroes. On the surface, the main reason for the collapse of these companies is financial problems, but the deeper reason is the commercialization challenges faced by digital therapeutics. The challenge is that digital therapeutics need to have drug-like efficacy in order to gain market acceptance, but the embarrassment is that prescription digital therapeutics are not drugs per se, but more about using technical ...

RNA targeted drugs are a completely new category of drugs that are completely different from small molecule drugs and antibody drugs. On the one hand, they can target mRNA, ncRNA, and other intracellular proteins through gene silencing to inhibit their expression and achieve the goal of treating diseases; On the other hand, new generation vaccines and protein replacement therapies can also be developed based on mRNA. RNA targeted drugs are undoubtedly a strategic frontier in biopharmaceutical innovation, with broad potential application scenarios in the future. The production process technology of mRNA industrialization is particularly important for the widespread application and industrialization of mRNA. Based on this, this article will focus on the optimization strategies for the production process of RNA targeted drugs. Stability chemical modification enhances drug safety and efficacy For RNA targeted drugs, chemical modification (excluding tissue targeting ligands) mainly has two basic functions: firstly, chemical modification can significantly ...
