Qhov Stem Cell Manufacturing Startup tsuas yog nce $ 80 lab Tsov Rog hauv siab los hloov kho tshuaj

Niaj hnub no, Cellino Biotech, lub tuam txhab kev lag luam kev kho hluav taws xob tswj hwm tus kheej, tshaj tawm $ 80 lab Series A nyiaj txiag puag ncig coj los ntawm Leaps los ntawm Bayer nrog rau 8VC, Humboldt Fund, thiab cov tub ua lag luam tshiab suav nrog Felicis Ventures thiab Khosla Ventures, uas tuaj yeem kho qhov teeb meem tuav lub biotech. kev lag luam rov qab. Cellino npaj yuav nthuav kev nkag mus rau qia cell-raws li kev kho mob nrog lub hom phiaj los tsim kom muaj thawj tus tib neeg lub cell foundry hauv 2025.

Yuav kom nkag siab tias vim li cas qhov no tseem ceeb, koj yuav tsum saib keeb kwm ntawm kev txhim kho tshuaj. Lub sijhawm 20 xyoo dhau los, kev txhim kho tshuaj tau txav los ntawm kev tsim cov tshuaj me me thiab tshuaj, xws li tshuaj aspirin, uas tuaj yeem muaj kev cuam tshuam rau kev lom neeg lom neeg xws li cov proteins, cov tshuaj tiv thaiv kab mob, thiab cov tshuaj tiv thaiv RNA tsis ntev los no. Cov pem hauv ntej ntawm txoj kev loj hlob yog siv engineered tib neeg hlwb raws li cov tshuaj lawv tus kheej.

Cov Pioneers ntawm Engineered Stem Cells  

Rau xyoo dhau los, Leaps los ntawm Bayer, lub peev nyiaj txiag ntawm German kws tshuaj loj heev Bayer AG, tau txiav txim siab los ua kev pheej hmoo ntawm kev pib me me pioneering qhov lawv ntseeg tias yuav yog kev hloov pauv tshuab rau tib neeg kev noj qab haus huv. Leaps los ntawm Bayer yog ib tug ntawm cov tub ua lag luam uas tso ib tug loj thawj koom ruam rau ib lub tuam txhab hu ua BlueRock Therapeutics nrog ib tug $ 225 lab Series A nyiaj txiag, uas thaum lub sij hawm yog lub loj tshaj Series A puas tau ua nyob rau hauv biotech. 

Dab tsi yog cov thev naus laus zis uas tau tshoov siab Leaps los ntawm Bayer los ua qhov kev nqis peev loj hauv 2016? Nws yog lub peev xwm los txhim kho tib neeg qia hlwb uas tuaj yeem kho ntau yam kab mob. Rau xyoo tom qab, BlueRock Therapeutics tab tom ua Phase 1 kev sim tshuaj kho mob rau cov neeg mob uas muaj tus kab mob Parkinson siab heev uas siv cov qia cell-derived neurons.   

Txawm hais tias qhov kev nce qib no zoo heev thiab cov tuam txhab tshiab nkag mus rau hauv kev ua lag luam, tseem muaj qee yam tuav rov qab kev nce qib. Nws yog lub peev xwm los txhim kho cov qia hlwb txaus kom tau raws li qhov xav tau nce rau kev tshawb fawb thiab kev lag luam.

Lub neej yav tom ntej ntawm Engineered Cell Therapy  

Xav txog tias muaj peev xwm tshem tawm koj tus kheej cov hlwb, hu ua autologous therapy, thiab engineering lawv los tua cov qog noj ntshav. Tom qab ntawd, muab cov hlwb rov qab rau hauv koj lub cev los tawm tsam mob qog noj ntshav. Ib qho txiaj ntsig ntawm kev siv koj lub hlwb nrog txoj kev kho no yog tias koj lub cev tiv thaiv kab mob tsis tshua muaj kev tawm tsam lawv. Los yog xav txog tias muaj peev xwm coj lwm tus neeg lub hlwb, hu ua allogeneic therapy, thiab engineering lawv los ua ib qho haujlwm tshwj xeeb ua ntej txhaj rau cov neeg mob. 

Kev kho mob autologous thiab allogeneic yog lub neej yav tom ntej ntawm kev txhim kho tshuaj. Thaum Leaps los ntawm Bayer nqis peev hauv BlueRock Therapeutics nws tsim thawj qhov cuam tshuam ntawm kev lag luam. Saklayen hais tias "Leaps los ntawm Bayer yog cov pioneers uas dhia pib qhov kev lag luam thaum ntxov," said Saklayen. 

Tam sim no, Leaps los ntawm Bayer tab tom ua rau lwm qhov cuam tshuam ntawm kev lag luam, tab sis lub sijhawm no, nws tau tsom mus rau kev tshem tawm lub fwj loj. Saklayen hais tias "Lub bottleneck ntawm qia cell engineering tau tshwm sim vim tias tag nrho cov txheej txheem yog phau ntawv thiab nyuaj heev," said Saklayen. "Nws feem ntau cuam tshuam nrog tus kws tshawb fawb zaum ntawm lub rooj zaum saib cov cell ntawm qhov muag thiab tom qab ntawd txiav txim siab txog cov cell twg zoo lossis phem. Thiab tom qab ntawd cov kws tshawb fawb yuav nkag mus rau hauv thiab sim tshem tawm cov hlwb tsis zoo nrog lub taub pipette. "

Los ntawm Cellino, kev lag luam yuav muaj kev ntseeg siab tsim cov qia hlwb ntawm nplai. Cellino siv tshuab kev kawm, kev txawj ntse txawj ntse (AI), thiab laser tshuab los ua kom kho cov cell kho kev tsim khoom. Cells yog tsim nyob rau hauv ib tug kaw cassette hom, uas tso cai rau phav phav tus neeg mob mus kuaj ua tiav nyob rau hauv parallel nyob rau hauv ib qho chaw. Qhov kawg tshwm sim, cov cassettes ntawm tib neeg lub hlwb, tuaj yeem siv los kho cov neeg mob. 

"Peb lub zeem muag yog tsim kom muaj Cellino foundry. Kuv xav tias nws yuav zoo li ib chav server. Tab sis txhua lub txee muaj lub xov tooj ntawm tes uas tau tsim nyob rau hauv kev tswj hwm tus kheej, "said Nabiha Saklayen, CEO thiab co-founder ntawm Cellino.

Juergen Eckhardt, MD, Tus Thawj Coj ntawm Leaps los ntawm Bayer tau hais tias "Leaps los ntawm Bayer lub hom phiaj yog los nqis peev hauv kev hloov pauv cov thev naus laus zis uas muab cov lus teb mus ntev rau qee qhov kev sib tw loj tshaj plaws niaj hnub no," "Peb ntseeg tias kev tsim kev txawj ntse uas tau tsav los ntawm kev tsim khoom yog qhov tseem ceeb ntawm kev cuam tshuam tom ntej ntawm kev kho cov xovtooj ntawm tes, uas tsis ntseeg tau yog ib qho ntawm cov thev naus laus zis thev naus laus zis txhawm rau txhim kho biotech los ntawm kev kho mob mus rau kev tiv thaiv lossis rov qab kab mob. Cellino cov cuab yeej hloov pauv tiag tiag rau kev tsim cov qia cell-raws li kev kho mob haum nrog peb lub hom phiaj los tsim kho cov ntaub so ntswg ploj rau ntau lab tus neeg mob. "

Lub peev xwm ntawm cov tshuaj tau los ntawm qia cell yog loj heev nrog ntau daim ntawv thov, suav nrog kev kho mob Parkinson tus kab mob, ntshav qab zib, thiab kab mob plawv. Qhov no yog lub frontier ntawm kev loj hlob tshuaj uas yog npaj los hloov kev lag luam.

Ua tsaug rau koj Lana Bandoim rau kev tshawb fawb ntxiv thiab tshaj tawm hauv kab lus no. Kuv yog tus tsim ntawm SynBioBeta, thiab qee lub tuam txhab uas kuv sau txog, suav nrog Leaps los ntawm Bayer, yog tus txhawb nqa ntawm Rooj sablaj SynBioBeta thiab limtiam zom.
