Mike Hollan The Health Cube will increase remote and virtual care options for populations living in remote areas. AI is helping to expand healthcare solutions to rural areas. While people living in or near highly populated areas tend to have more options when it comes to healthcare, the lack of options in rural areas can be a real issue. For patients living in a state like Alaska, getting access to the proper care can involve traveling long distances, delays in obtaining medication, and sometimes being unable to find the proper specialists. One way that the industry is attempting to solve this issue is by bringing more telehealth and virtual options to these areas. New technologies, such as AI, are making this easier, as the algorithms are better able to match patients with the proper care providers through virtual sessions, while also making it easier to find ways to get the ...
Human papillomavirus (HPV) is well-known for its role in causing cervical cancer and is also increasingly identified as being responsible for cancers in the mouth, throat, and other areas of the head and neck. Early detection of cancer is essential, as it greatly improves patient outcomes. Now, a new urine-based test that can detect DNA fragments shed by head and neck tumors could potentially enable earlier detection of these cancers, which currently lack effective screening techniques. The research team at the University of Michigan (Ann Arbor, MI, USA) utilized whole genome sequencing to show that cell-free DNA fragments found in urine, which originate from tumor cells and pass from the bloodstream through the kidneys, are predominantly ultra-short, with less than 50 base pairs. Their small size makes detection difficult using traditional urine or blood-based liquid biopsy tests for circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA). Currently in the experimental stage, this mail-in test ...
Mike Hollan BrandShield states that it has identified sites selling counterfeit versions of Wegovy and Ozempic, among other drugs. It’s important to always be careful whenever buying anything from a website, especially medication. In recent years, it’s become much more common for patients and other consumers to find online sources where they can directly access medications without having to visit a pharmacy. This provides clear benefits for patients, such as limiting the burden placed upon them and potentially helping to reduce the cost of some medications. As is the case with most things, however, there are also risks. A new report from Reuters details one company’s work to take down sites selling fake medications.1 Not surprisingly, a significant percentage of these sites were selling counterfeit weight-loss drugs, such as fake versions of Ozempic. The report does note, however, that the number of sites selling these counterfeit weight-loss drugs has significantly ...
Don Tracy, Associate Editor With a final decision expected next February, MenABCWY combines the protective elements of GSK’s existing vaccines to target the five primary serogroups of Neisseria meningitidis. GSK announced that the FDA has accepted for review an application for its five-in-one meningococcal vaccine MenABCWY. MenABCWY is a combination of GSK’s two existing vaccines, Bexsero and Menveo, and targets the five primary serogroups (A, B, C, W, and Y) of Neisseria meningitidis. These serogroups are credited with causing the majority of meningococcal disease (IMD) cases around the world. According to the company, a final decision is expected on February 14, 2025.1 “In the Phase III trial (NCT04502693), all primary endpoints were achieved for the MenABCWY vaccine candidate, including immunological non-inferiority to one dose of GSK’s Meningococcal Groups A,C,Y and W Vaccine, and non-inferior immune responses against 110 diverse MenB invasive strains (representing 95% of MenB strains circulating in the ...
Both companies will facilitate career progression while advancing the life sciences industry The European Laboratory Research and Innovation Group (ELRIG) UK has announced its partnership with SRG to support life sciences professionals in advancing their careers in drug discovery. Both will help facilitate career progression as well as support the growth of the life sciences industry. As part of the collaboration, ELRIG UK’s community will gain access to career opportunities, while SRG’s specialist talent solutions will be provided to organisations of all sizes to help grow the life sciences sector. More specifically, early career professionals (ECPs) in industry and academia will be able to attend forums and networking events to meet new people and learn the skills needed to help them progress their careers in drug discovery. The volunteer-led community for drug discovery unites academic and biopharma industry experts and thought leaders to share ideas and information through free-to-attend scientific ...

Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is a highly aggressive type of cancer known for its ability to metastasize. The behavior of tumors is largely governed by which genes are turned on, or transcribed, irrespective of whether mutations are present. Researchers have identified various signature patterns of gene activation in SCLC, and these subtypes dictate how the cancer responds to treatments and its specific vulnerabilities. There is a significant need for blood-based tests that can determine SCLC subtypes, track disease progression, recognize transformations into other types of lung cancer, and identify potential treatment targets, especially when standard biopsies are not feasible. Scientists have now made progress towards a liquid biopsy capable of distinguishing between multiple SCLC subtypes from blood samples. New research at Fred Hutch Cancer Center (Seattle, WA, USA) has revealed that big-picture patterns of DNA packaging, gene activation, and mutations may provide the information required to develop a blood-based ...
Boehringer Ingelheim reported robust sales in 2023, with a 10.3% increase in human pharma sales that was strongly driven by Jardiance (empagliflozin) and Ofev (nintedanib). The German company announced that it had reached €20.8bn ($22.1bn) in human pharma sales in 2023, also achieving a 14.2% boost in research and development (R&D) investments that reached €5.8bn. Boehringer’s R&D investments accounted for 22.5% of net sales, as per a 16 April press release.

Dive Brief Abbott is recalling thousands of Heartmate II and Heartmate 3 left ventricular assist systems because biological material can build up and obstruct the devices, making them less effective at pumping blood, the Food and Drug Administration said Monday. Reports of 273 injuries and 14 deaths have been linked to the problem, with the material typically taking two or more years to accumulate, according to the recall notice. The FDA identified the action as a Class I recall, the most serious type. Heartmate devices are used to support patients with severe left ventricular heart failure who are awaiting a heart transplant, or the device can be permanently implanted when a transplant isn’t an option. In February, Abbott told customers in an urgent correction letter there is no need to return any products to the company. Dive Insight Heartmate devices take over the pumping function of the left ventricle, the ...
