Traditional drug screening and disease modeling—long reliant on 2D cell cultures and animal models—are increasingly criticized for their limited predictive power and inefficiency. As the demand for personalized medicine and high-throughput testing grows, researchers face a critical question: How can...

Flow cytometry has long been a cornerstone of biomedical research, enabling scientists to analyze thousands of cells in real time. From immune profiling to drug discovery, it provides a window into cellular diversity and function. Yet, as powerful as traditional cytometers are, they can be bulky, re...

Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy has revolutionized the treatment landscape for hematologic malignancies, offering targeted, durable responses where conventional therapies often fall short. But what if this cellular precision could be redirected beyond cancer—to chronic, non-oncologi...

Immunotherapy has become one of the most dynamic areas in biomedical research. From CAR-T therapies to NK cell engineering, scientists are working to refine how immune cells can be harnessed against cancer. Yet, progress is not straightforward. Each step—from understanding immune clonality to overco...

Gene therapy has entered a new era—one defined not just by bold concepts, but by molecular finesse. At the heart of this transformation are oligonucleotides: short strands of nucleic acids that can silence, edit, or regulate genes with remarkable specificity. But their journey from concept to clinic...

In recent years, gene therapy has emerged as one of the most promising frontiers in modern medicine. By addressing diseases at their genetic roots, researchers are opening doors to treatments that were once unimaginable. Two areas of innovation—circular RNA (circRNA) detection and AAV vector design ...

The complement system, a crucial component of innate immunity, plays a multifaceted role in host defense, inflammation, and immune regulation. As research into complement-targeted therapies accelerates, the need for reliable and nuanced testing methods has become increasingly apparent. A range of sp...

Walk into any immunology lab today and you'll likely find researchers puzzling over the complement system. It's ancient, powerful, and sometimes unpredictable. For decades, scientists have known that complement proteins can protect us from infection—but they can also drive inflammation and autoimmun...
