For more than a decade, CAR-T therapy has been the miracle of oncology, turning end-stage blood cancers into curable diseases. But the application of these engineered cell therapies is expanding to reset the immune system for patients living with lupus, stiff person syndrome and other autoimmune conditions. And with new frontiers come new rules. In this week’s episode of "The Top Line," Fierce Pharma’s Angus Liu chats with Harpreet Singh, M.D., chief medical officer at Precision for Medicine and a former director of the FDA's Division of Oncology, about a recent article by FDA officials led by CBER Director Vinay Prasad, M.D., laying out the agency’s perspective on its regulation of autoimmune CAR-T therapies. Singh discusses how the agency’s "case-by-case" approach, as indicated in the article, could be similar to—and different from—CAR-T for oncology indications. She also talks about how drug developers should follow existing development experience, as well as prepare for specific requirements for long-term patient follow-up and potential new clinical endpoints from the agency.

Convidada: Marina Pera, analista sênior de risco político da consultoria Control Risks no México. O chefão do cartel Jalisco Nova Geração, um dos mais violentos e poderosos grupos criminosos organizados do México, foi morto no último domingo (22). O megatraficante Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, conhecido como "El Mencho", foi baleado em uma operação das forças de segurança mexicanas: os agentes monitoraram os passos de sua namorada até uma cabana em Tapalpa, na região montanhosa do estado de Jalisco, onde se deu o confronto. A morte de El Mencho foi o gatilho para uma reação violenta do grupo organizado. Ataques foram registrados em 20 estados mexicanos: criminosos incendiaram veículos, bloquearam rodovias, fecharam escolas e espalharam pânico. O número de mortos já passa de 70, entre policiais, agentes penitenciários e integrantes do cartel. O governo mobilizou mais de 10 mil militares para conter a violência. A morte do chefe do Jalisco Nova Geração abre uma nova fase de incertezas no México, afirma Marina Pera, analista sênior de risco político da consultoria Control Risks no México. Em entrevista a Natuza Nery, ela descreve como El Mencho mantinha seu poder e cultivava uma imagem messiânica diante de seu grupo. Marina também explica por que a queda de uma liderança desse tamanho pode desencadear uma avalanche na estrutura do narcotráfico e nas instituições oficiais mexicanas.

BUFFALO, NY – February 25, 2026 – A new #editorial perspective was #published in Volume 17 of Oncotarget on February 20, 2026, titled “CAR-T therapy: Trailblazing CAR(ing) in cancer treatment.” Led by Uzma Saqib — with corresponding author Krishnan Hajela from the School of Life Sciences, Devi Ahilya Vishwavidyalaya — the perspective reviews recent clinical and translational advances in chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy and highlights both its promise and its remaining barriers. The piece synthesizes recent clinical advances in hematologic malignancies and emerging applications in solid tumors, while focusing attention on safety (for example, cytokine release syndrome and neurotoxicity), resistance, antigen specificity, and access disparities. The authors summarize the CAR-T workflow (leukapheresis → genetic modification and expansion → infusion) and note major recent clinical gains — including improved outcomes in leukemia, lymphoma, and multiple myeloma — that support wider adoption of cellular immunotherapy approaches. They emphasize that despite these advances, important clinical challenges remain, particularly for solid tumors, where antigen selection, tumor microenvironment, and T-cell trafficking limit efficacy. At the same time, the perspective highlights technological and clinical strategies under development to overcome these obstacles, including next-generation CAR designs and improved supportive-care protocols. “Despite its promise, CAR T-cell therapy faces several critical challenges.” The authors call out clear next steps for the field: (1) continued refinement of CAR constructs (dual-targeting, switchable/on-off systems, armored CARs) to improve specificity and reduce on-target/off-tumor toxicity; (2) improved management protocols and prophylactic measures to mitigate CRS and neurotoxicity; (3) expanded investigation of allogeneic or alternative CAR-T platforms to address manufacturing, cost, and access barriers; and (4) focused translational studies to improve T-cell trafficking and efficacy in solid tumors. They also highlight equity issues — socioeconomic and racial disparities that limit access to CAR-T — and urge that broad deployment plans include strategies to expand availability and affordability.

Good morning from Pharma Daily: the podcast that brings you the most important developments in the pharmaceutical and biotech world.Today, we delve into the latest from an industry that continues to break new ground in both scientific innovation and regulatory landscapes. The pharmaceutical and biotech sectors are buzzing with activity as companies engage in bold strategies and face significant challenges in their quest for groundbreaking treatments.A recent event illustrating the high-stakes nature of this industry involves Novo Nordisk and its decision to conduct a head-to-head clinical trial for Cagrisema against Eli Lilly's Zepbound. This trial, which typically occurs post-approval, was conducted at the candidate stage. Novo Nordisk aimed to establish market dominance by proving superiority early on. However, the trial did not go as planned, with Cagrisema failing to outperform Zepbound. This outcome serves as a reminder of the competitive dynamics in early-stage testing and the strategic risks companies are willing to take in their bid for market leadership.Meanwhile, Gilead Sciences has made a bold move with a $7.8 billion investment in Arcellx, focusing on CAR T-cell therapy. This investment highlights Gilead's commitment to advanced cancer treatments, particularly Anito-cel for relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma. CAR T-cell therapies involve modifying a patient's T-cells to target cancer cells more effectively, representing a significant leap forward in oncological treatments. With an FDA decision anticipated by December 2026, Gilead's investment underscores its strategic focus on transformative therapies that could redefine cancer care.In legal news, Regenxbio has secured a notable victory against Sarepta Therapeutics regarding adeno-associated virus (AAV) technology patents. The appeals court ruling in favor of Regenxbio emphasizes the intricate nature of patent law in biotechnology, where innovations often intersect with naturally occurring biological processes. This decision not only solidifies Regenxbio's intellectual property but also sets a precedent for future patent disputes within the sector.On the regulatory front, Vanda Pharmaceuticals has rebounded from previous setbacks by securing FDA approval for drugs targeting bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. This achievement marks a promising shift for Vanda, demonstrating resilience and adaptability in redirecting focus towards neuropsychiatric conditions. The approval expands therapeutic options for these complex disorders, addressing long-standing unmet needs within mental health care.Despite these advancements, some areas continue to face hurdles. Gene therapies like Casgevy and Lyfgenia for sickle cell disease have struggled to gain traction two years post-launch. These therapies promise a one-time cure by correcting genetic defects but have encountered challenges in achieving widespread adoption. The difficulties reflect broader issues in transitioning from clinical success to market viability.Moreover, workforce reductions at major companies such as Bristol-Myers Squibb and Catalent signal structural changes within the industry. These layoffs may indicate shifts in strategic focus or responses to evolving market pressures as companies strive for efficiency and innovation.Regulatory practices are also undergoing scrutiny as the FDA considers defaulting to single clinical trial requirements for drug approvals. While this move could streamline development processes, it raises concerns about maintaining rigorous safety standards—a balance that remains crucial as companies push to bring innovative treatments to market swiftly yet safely.The dynamic nature of this industry is further highlighted by Candel Therapeutics' recent $100 million royalty deal aimed at launching its prostate cancer treatment. This strategic move underscores growing interest in innovative oncology solutions thaSupport the show

Indianapolis 500 Veteran Hucul Dies at 79 INDIANAPOLIS (Friday, Feb. 20, 2026) – Canadian driver Cliff Hucul, a veteran of three Indianapolis 500 starts in the late 1970s, died Feb. 17 on his farm in his native Prince George, British Columbia. He was 79. Hucul made three consecutive starts in “The Greatest Spectacle in Racing” from 1977-79. His best finish came as a rookie in 1977, 22nd in the No. 29 Team Canada McLaren/Offenhauser that Hucul bought after Johnny Rutherford drove it to victory in the 1976 “500.” Hucul completed 72 laps before being sidelined by gearbox problems. He qualified on Bump Day for that race despite touching the wall in practice the previous day and suffering two engine failures during the Month of May, a significant pitfall for his low-budget team. Hucul's best qualifying spot was 18th in 1979, his final “500” start. The small-town driver from northern British Columbia learned his craft by racing stock cars and modified sprint cars at local tracks. He then began racing modifieds and supermodifieds in the Pacific Northwest against drivers that included eventual Indianapolis 500 winner and INDYCAR SERIES champion Tom Sneva and his brother Jerry Sneva. Hucul made 24 total USAC and CART starts between 1977-81, with eight top-10 finishes. Hucul's best finish in the standings was 11th in 1979, when he started the season by placing fifth at Ontario Motor Speedway and a career-best fourth at Texas World Speedway. In 1996, Hucul became a paraplegic after an automobile accident when crossing black ice on a highway in British Columbia. Despite being confined to a wheelchair, Hucul remained active, managing his farm and mentoring many drivers in the area. He was inducted into the Prince George Sports Hall of Fame for his lifetime contributions to auto racing. Hucul is survived by his son, Kelly, and daughter-in-law, Sylvie; daughter, Michele, and many grandchildren. 2026 BAHRAIN TESTING - WEEK 1, DAY 3 MAX VERSTAPPEN “Looking at the test overall, the Team got in a good number of laps on the first day so we were happy with that. We completed a lot of things that we wanted to test with the new Power Unit and the car in general. Today it was a continuation of that plus also trying to explore a little bit more with the car; you go through so many test items that it continues to change and evolve with everything that you are testing. In general, it is all so new that we are still learning a lot, but the car was good. We also have new tyres, so we spent some time looking at different sets and understanding what we need to improve and be better at. With the power unit, looking at the laps we got on the board, the start that we have had is good. That's exactly what we wanted to do and it was not a given. Whether it will be enough to win races, we don't know, we will just focus on ourselves and try to do the best we can, but there is still massive room for improvement. Finally, with the car, we learnt a lot about what worked and what didn't. Our runs also gave us even more ideas for the afternoon with Isack and then for next week, where we can continue to try new things and different set ups.” ISACK HADJAR “The first week here in Bahrain has gone well. Of course, I had to wait a little before getting in the car after Barcelona, but once I did, we were able to put it to the test and really work through what we need ahead of next week and Melbourne. There are so many things to look at, but we're staying on track with our programme so far. True performance and pace are always hard to judge in pre-season, but we can be happy with the reliability we've had from the power unit this week. There are still things to work on in terms of balance and tyre management, but that's completely normal for this time of year. We're working through it together as a Team to get where we want to be for Australia. I've known the people here for a while now, but it's great to be working with them again in an environment like this." ASTON MARTIN The Aston Martin Aramco Formula One™ Team concluded its testing programme at the Bahrain International Circuit today, with Lance Stroll returning to the cockpit of the AMR26 for the final time before the Australian Grand Prix. Lance did not get on track until late in the morning session due to a battery-related issue that had impacted Fernando's running yesterday. Honda carried out simulations on the test bench at HRC Sakura before the car returned to the track. Due to a shortage of power unit parts, the run plan was very limited and consisted only of short stints. Lance Stroll “It's been a challenging couple of weeks here in Bahrain, and today's limited running wasn't the way we wanted to finish the second test. It's clear the car isn't where we want it to be performance-wise, and we know there's a lot of work ahead in the coming weeks and months. There's a long season ahead, and we'll keep pushing flat out to unlock more performance. I want to say a big thank you to everyone trackside and back at the AMRTC for the work that's gone in so far. It's not where we want to be right now, but I know how determined this team is. We'll stick together, rise to the challenge and keep working until we deliver the performance we are looking for.” WILLIAMS F1 2026 Bahrain pre-season testing – Day 3 James Vowles, Team Principal: Another solid day of running and mileage. It's great to see that across the last six days of testing, we've been predominantly tyre and time limited, and able to complete the full programme that we wanted. That's just a testament to the hard work of the teams, both here and in Grove, making sure that we made up for lost time. No one truly knows where all the performance lies. That's what Melbourne is all about, so I can't wait to go there, to gain a further understanding of where we are. What I know for sure, though, is we have work to do. There's no doubt about it. We've put ourselves on the back foot. But my assurance to everyone is that we have an aggressive programme lining up in front of us in order to make sure that we extract as much performance in this car as possible over the forthcoming months. Carlos Sainz: The past six days of testing in Bahrain has been one of the most interesting and challenging tests that I've been part of, given the new regulations and number of things we had to learn. The progress from day one has been significant, although there are still going to be things to understand and solve at the start of the season. We go into the first half of the year with lower expectations than 2025 knowing that we'll be starting slightly on the back foot. However, I'm really looking forward to getting started and focusing on improving the cars through the year to become more competitive. Bring on Melbourne! Alex Albon: It's been a relatively smooth test here in Bahrain. We got some good mileage under our belts and tested everything we wanted to get out of the car, so I'm feeling more ready for Melbourne. There's still a lot we need to understand and plenty of performance left on the table that we need to extract, but I'm glad the tests went to plan. It's now all about maximising the next few days to prepare for the first race of the year! THIS WEEK'S INTERVIEW WITH MIKI MONRAS... Miki Monrás on battling Bottas and Ricciardo in the late 2000s and the rising cost of junior racing In the late 2000s, Miki Monrás was one of Spain's brightest prospects on the junior single-seater ladder, trading blows with the likes of Daniel Ricciardo, Valtteri Bottas and António Félix da Costa in Formula Renault and GP3. But while his rivals pushed on towards F1 or careers in GTs, the Spaniard's single-seater journey came to an abrupt halt in 2011. Feeder Series caught up with Monrás to reflect on the times he rubbed shoulders with greatness, the challenges of racing in the post–financial crisis era, and life beyond motorsport. By Anabelle Bremner Back in the noughties, the path from karting to Formula 1 looked nothing like it does today. There was no standardised Formula 4, no carefully managed ladder – just a patchwork of championships that rewarded those brave enough, and wealthy enough, to dive straight in. Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0 was as deep as it got: 40-car grids stacked with future stars, the proving ground where Pierre Gasly, Nyck de Vries and Lando Norris would come to cut their teeth. But before all of them, it was Monrás in the thick of it. He made his single-seater debut in late 2007, the result of years spent chasing speed. His first taste of racing, in fact, came on two wheels – on a motocross bike, inspired by his father, who had raced professionally in Spain and Europe. At the age of eight, Monrás joined a motocross camp, and it wasn't long before karting came calling. “After the first race, I really enjoyed it,” he recalls. “I remember it was Christmastime and I asked for a motocross scooter and for a go-kart. So I finally got the go-kart, and that's the way I started. Then I started racing in Catalonia, and I just moved through Spain and Europe and all the world championships until formula.” Single-seater racing, however, would prove a unique beast. Shortly before turning 16, Monrás moved straight from karting into Formula Renault 2.0, in which the competition was fierce. “Normally at that age you'd go before to a category not straight to 2.0,” he said. “My first year I was racing with Bottas, I was racing with Ricciardo, I was racing with [Andrea] Caldarelli – really good drivers.… I was racing against people that were already racing for two years in single-seaters. That was a big difference.”His first Eurocup campaign, in 2008, proved a challenging one. He was scoreless for his first five rounds with the Hitech Junior Team (no relation to the current Hitech) before a switch to SG Formula brought him six points in the final two rounds. Valtteri Bottas, then of Motopark Academy, went on to claim that year's title after a close fight involving Ricciardo, Caldarelli and Roberto Merhi. The next year brought Monrás a decidedly better season and three podiums with SG Formula, owned by Mercedes Junior Team advisor Stéphane Guerin. He wound up fifth overall in a season dominated by a fierce three-way fight between Félix da Costa, Jean-Éric Vergne and Albert Costa – the last of whom ultimately took the title. Racing against so much talent at such a young age left Monrás with plenty of perspective on what might have been. “Ricciardo was my teammate. Jean-Éric Vergne was my teammate. I raced with Da Costa, Bottas, with Magnussen, so many people that have been racing each other and winning races,” he said. “[I] think if I changed something at that point, maybe I would be in Formula 1, but who knows. Maybe yes, maybe no. “But at that time, it was really difficult times because it was 2010, '11, '12, where there was also a big crisis in the world, especially in Europe. It was really difficult for Spanish drivers to get the sponsors and the money to race.” The financial squeeze triggered by the 2008 global financial crisis left Monrás and many of his peers in a precarious position. Several teams, such as SG Formula, shut their doors in the wake of the crisis amidst an already shifting landscape in junior racing. “It's been changing a lot from that time until now. When I was racing Eurocup 2.0, one time we were like 48 drivers, I remember. 2008 at Spa. It was a massive level and so many drivers wanted to go in,” he said. “Eurocup was really high level, I would say maybe [comparable] to Formula 4 about the car and the lap times. “Motorsport has changed a lot in the last few years. It's more expensive. At that time, Eurocup was also expensive, but I think Formula 4 is around €700,000 more or less, maybe more now. It's quite expensive. Back then, I think Eurocup was around €300,000 or €250,000, so there was a massive difference. A lot more people could race at that time.” After two and a half years competing in various Formula Renault series, Monrás stepped up to GP3 in 2010. The inaugural season, won by eventual F1 driver Esteban Gutiérrez, came with another steep learning curve. Monrás managed two podiums and a 10th-place finish in the standings, but the step up exposed the limits of what talent alone could achieve in a field packed with hungry, well-backed drivers. “When I raced GP3, that was the first year of the championship, so it was a new championship for all of the teams. I also raced with Arden, which was a new team in the category, so it made it a bit difficult,” he said. “During testing, I remember I was flying in GP3, and then suddenly in some races there was such a huge difference with some other cars and drivers. It was difficult sometimes. … I think this is always present in motorsport in all categories. You will find some kind of differences within cars and teams. It just will always be there.” Challenging as it was, that season had its highs for Monrás. A recovery drive in Spa's characteristic rain remains a fond memory for the Spaniard. “I had a really bad qualifying because there were some yellow flags,” he explained. “Because there were 30 cars, it was easy to find yellow flags if you're waiting for the last minutes in qualifying. I finished [ninth in] race one, and in race two it started raining really heavily after five laps. I went from P10 to P3, nearly fighting for the win in the last lap against Rossi and Tambay. That was a really good race.” After a season in GP3, Monrás moved up a rung on the ladder to Formula Two. At the time, the feeder series landscape was fragmented. GP2 and Formula Renault 3.5 offered established paths to Formula 1, while the MotorSport Vision's FIA Formula Two Championship, which first ran in 2009, aimed to do the same with a more affordable package. “Formula Two at that point was very competitive, economically speaking,” Monrás said. “It was a lot cheaper to race in Formula Two than race in GP2 at that moment or 3.5 because it was like all one team. All the cars were one team with different engineers, and that made it low cost for the time. “A lot of drivers went to it because of that. They were racing in the best tracks, same as World Series and similar to GP2, and the car was competitive. Maybe not as competitive as GP2 or 3.5 because it was a bit slower, but it was really competitive and really fast, on the straight especially.” “In that time, what they were saying was it was very equal. You had one engineer for three cars, you were sharing data with these three cars, and it was all under the same team. You can always find differences in motorsport. Maybe not a difference to make one car win and one car P15, but you can still always find two-tenths difference in similar cars, and two tenths, sometimes it's a lot of time,” he said. “The cars were on the same team, but each engineer was doing the set-up for his driver. The set-up I was using and maybe the set-up Bortolotti was using, he had won the championship maybe from our different set-ups. Every race, you changed engineers. Every weekend, you were rotating engineers so at the end of the season, everybody worked with everyone.” By 2012, the funding had dried up. Monrás was left sponsorless and unable to compete in Formula Two. He sampled GT racing in the Blancpain Endurance Series and tested with both Audi Sport and Atech GP, but no program materialised. From there, Monrás transitioned into driver coaching and team management – mostly with the AV Formula team owned by his manager, Adrian Vallés – and eventually “moved on” from motorsport around 2017. “I was working also with McLaren Automotive, but it was not motorsport. It was automotive, developing road cars, really competitive cars. After that I decided to stop because I wanted to follow a new career professionally, and I moved onto real estate which I have always been [involved with] because of my family, so that's why I decided to move over,” he said. “I now work in a real estate company which I own with some partners, and that's my day-to-day nowadays.” After years climbing the ladder in lockstep with some of the sport's future stars, Monrás has found a new rhythm – one that's decidedly less fast, but no less his own. Yet his career remains a reminder of the talent that defined an era: a Spaniard who went wheel to wheel with the likes of Ricciardo, Bottas, and Vergne, racing in some of the deepest junior grids of the 2000s and 2010s. In the story of that generation, Monrás may no longer be on track, but he's never far from the memory of it all.

En este episodio del podcast de ACHO hematología, el Dr. Juan Manuel Herrera, especialista en Hematología y Oncología y coordinador de la Unidad de Trasplante de Médula Ósea y Terapia Celular de la Clínica Imbanaco en Cali, lidera este episodio dedicado a revisar los avances más relevantes en trasplante de médula ósea y terapias celulares. La dinámica del pódcast se centra en un recorrido histórico y actualizado de la especialidad, desde los primeros intentos de trasplante hasta las innovaciones más recientes en profilaxis y tratamiento de la enfermedad de injerto contra huésped (EICH), la expansión del pool de donantes, la integración de terapias génicas y la irrupción de las CAR-T. Se destaca el hito del E. Donnall Thomas, ganador del Premio Nobel por demostrar la curación de pacientes con anemia aplásica mediante trasplante, y cómo hoy el campo evoluciona hacia un modelo integral de terapia celular.En la conversación se abordan los cambios en la profilaxis de EICH con el uso de ciclofosfamida post-trasplante, que ha ampliado el acceso al trasplante alogénico incluso en donantes no emparentados; los avances terapéuticos con fármacos como ruxolitinib (a partir de los estudios REACH), belumosudil, itacitinib y abatacept; y la aprobación por la FDA de terapias innovadoras como células mesenquimales para EICH aguda pediátrica y terapias génicas para anemia de células falciformes en 2023. Asimismo, se analiza el papel de compuestos como UM171 en la expansión de sangre de cordón umbilical, la reducción de toxicidad en el acondicionamiento con treosulfán y la creciente integración de las terapias CAR-T en mieloma múltiple, linfoma y leucemia linfoide aguda, aclarando que no reemplazan el trasplante sino que lo complementan. Finalmente, se enfatiza cómo la mejora en soporte clínico, control infeccioso y experiencia de los equipos ha disminuido la mortalidad y ampliado las indicaciones, consolidando una práctica más segura y personalizada.Dentro de su conversación, se plantearon las siguientes preguntas:¿Cómo ha evolucionado el trasplante de médula ósea desde sus inicios hasta la actualidad?¿Qué impacto ha tenido la ciclofosfamida post-trasplante en la ampliación del pool de donantes?¿Cuáles son los avances más importantes en la profilaxis y el tratamiento de la EICH?¿Qué papel cumplen medicamentos como ruxolitinib, belumosudil, itacitinib y abatacept en la EICH?¿Qué relevancia tiene la aprobación de terapias génicas para anemia de células falciformes?¿Cómo ha influido el desarrollo de compuestos como UM171 en el trasplante con sangre de cordón umbilical?¿Qué ventajas ofrece el treosulfán frente a los esquemas clásicos de acondicionamiento?¿Las terapias CAR-T reemplazarán al trasplante o actúan como complemento?¿Cuáles son los principales riesgos actuales de las terapias CAR-T?¿Cómo han impactado estos avances en la supervivencia y calidad de vida de los pacientes?Fecha de grabación: 30 de septiembre de 2025.Referencia:Este contenido se basa en la interpretación crítica de la evidencia científica disponible, así como en la experiencia clínica del o los ponentes como profesionales de la salud en instituciones de referencia.Para profundizar en los conceptos discutidos, se recomienda al profesional de la salud consultar literatura científica vigente, guías clínicas internacionales y la normatividad aplicable en su país.

The Pre-Launch Strategy That Changes Everything What if your audience was already excited to buy before you ever opened the cart? That's the dream, right? No scrambling in the final hours. No sending more emails than you planned. No pushing harder than feels good and still wondering why it's not converting. I'm sitting down with Brenna McGowan, launch strategist and creator of Anticipation Marketing, to talk about the phase of launching most people skip over entirely. And honestly, it's the phase that makes or breaks your results. Here's what I've learned from my own launches and from watching thousands of my students do theirs: most people think they're doing the pre-launch part right. They mention what's coming in the P.S. of an email. They post about it on social and put up a waitlist. They feel like they're doing everything they're supposed to be doing. But then the cart opens and it still feels harder than it should. They're white-knuckling their way through launch week, and by the end of it, they're exhausted and wondering what went wrong. Is it the offer? Is it the audience? Is it just harder to sell right now? Usually, it's none of those things. It's the pre-launch. And that's what we're fixing today. RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: You've built something real. Revenue, audience, offers that work. But the results still don't match what you know you're capable of. The Revenue Consistency Formula is a FREE Live training for six-figure female founders who are done with inconsistent results and ready to understand what's out of sync so their messaging, offers, and lead generation can finally work together. Click here to register now. Learn More About Brenna McGowan Find Brenna McGowan on Instagram The Pre-Launch Plan Program HERE ARE THE 3 KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE: 1️⃣ A Waitlist Is Not a Pre-Launch — Posting "join the waitlist" isn't warming your audience up in the way you think it is. A real pre-launch builds belief in the problem, belief in the solution, and belief that you are the person to help them get there. When that's in place, you don't have to convince anyone when the cart opens. They're already in. 2️⃣ Sell the Process, Not the Program — During pre-launch, you shouldn't be talking about your course or your offer. Your job is to get your audience to believe in the method behind it. Brenna calls this belief-shifting, and it's the difference between an audience that's ready to buy and one that stays on the fence. 3️⃣ Anticipation Beats Urgency — Emphasizing the countdown used to work, but not anymore. People have been burned by courses and programs that didn't deliver, and they've lost trust in others and in themselves. What works now is building genuine excitement and curiosity so your audience is leaning in and asking when they can buy instead of feeling pushed into a decision.

Autoimmune diseases like myasthenia gravis have long forced patients to trade daily function for chronic immunosuppression, but Cartesian Therapeutics is betting that its experimental RNA‑engineered CAR T cells can rewrite that equation. The company's lead experimental therapy, Descartes‑08, is designed to deliver deep, durable remissions through a short course of outpatient infusions that selectively eliminate the plasma cells driving disease, while sidestepping the toxicity and logistical hurdles of conventional DNA‑based CAR T therapies. We spoke to Carsten Brunn, CEO of Cartesian Therapeutics, about how the company's RNA‑engineered CAR T cells target the root cause of autoimmune diseases, data from its phase 2 study in myasthenia gravis, and the potential to expand the approach into myositis and other rare autoimmune indications.

In this week's episode, Blood editor Dr. Laurie Sehn interviews authors Drs. Anastasios Karadimitris and Maria Carolina Florian on their papers published in Volume 147 Issue 2 of Blood. Dr. Karadimitris' paper "Off-the-shelf dual CAR-iNKT cell immunotherapy eradicates medullary and leptomeningeal high-risk KMT2A-rearranged leukemia", discusses the success of bispecific CAR-iNKT cells targeting CD19 and CD133 in pre-clinical models, prompting the clinical development of this class of product. Dr. Florian's paper, "A Notch trans-activation to cis-inhibition switch underlies hematopoietic stem cell aging" proposes that the Jagged2/Notch interaction is a key regulator of hematopoietic stem cell divisional symmetry during aging and offers insights that may inform strategies to restore regenerative function in aged hematopoiesis.
Komórki nowotworowe to nie byty obce, ale nasze własne, tyle że zbuntowane. Zamiast współpracować, odmawiają „honorowej” samodestrukcji (apoptozy), ignorują sygnały z otoczenia i dzielą się wtedy, kiedy nie powinny. – Komórka rakowa jest w sobie zakochana do tego stopnia, że interesuje ją tylko to, żeby siebie powielać – porównuje prof. Kinga Kamieniarz-Gdula z Centrum Zaawansowanych Technologii i Wydziału Biologii UAM w Poznaniu, z którą rozmawiam w najnowszym odcinku. Zdrowe komórki mają fizjologiczny limit podziałów. Po jego przekroczeniu przestają to robić lub umierają. – Natomiast komórki nowotworowe potrafią wyzerować ten licznik i stać się nieśmiertelne. Robią to często przez aktywację enzymu, który nazywa się telomeraza – wyjaśnia uczona. Takie komórki potrafią tworzyć własną sieć naczyń krwionośnych, omijają mechanizmy naprawy DNA i obronę immunologiczną.Słowem: są niezwykle trudnym przeciwnikiem. Mało kto jednak wie, że nowotwory powstają w nas bardzo często – organizm codziennie produkuje tysiące komórek z potencjalnie groźnymi mutacjami – ale zazwyczaj sobie z nimi radzi. Wchodzą do akcji „policjanci” układu odpornościowego, mechanizmy naprawy DNA. W rozmowie porządkujemy współczesne metody leczenia: od wciąż niezwykle skutecznej chirurgii, przez klasyczną chemioterapię i radioterapię, po nowsze terapie celowane oraz immunoterapię – w tym „żywy lek” CAR-T. Niedawno odkryto, że piętą Achillesową komórek rakowych jest końcowy etap przepisywania informacji genetycznej z genu (cząsteczki DNA) na RNA. Większość ludzkich genów ma kilka alternatywnych końców, a wybór tego właściwego może wpływać na końcowy produkt, czyli białko. Aby wykorzystać tę wiedzę w potencjalnej terapii przeciwnowotworowej, prof. Kinga Kamieniarz-Gdula wraz z dr Martyną Plens-Gałąską opracowały innowacyjną metodę do poszukiwań nowych leków, które kierują wyborem, gdzie kończy się gen. Uczone będą kontynuowały nowatorskie badania, m.in. dzięki kolejnemu grantowi ERC uzyskanemu przez prof. Kamieniarz-Gdulę, tym razem Proof of Concept, pozyskanemu na projekt “Biologia molekularna w terapii przeciwnowotworowej – poszukiwania nowych leków, które kierują wyborem, gdzie kończy się gen”. W zespole pracują wspólnie z dr Agatą Stępień.W odcinku usłyszycie też dlaczego sen, ruch, unikanie kancerogenów oraz ogólnie zdrowy styl życia naprawdę mają znaczenie – bo wspierają właśnie te ciche, codzienne interwencje naszego organizmu. Poznacie barwne metafory mechanizmów stojących za genetyką, opowieść o tym, jak to jest wrócić z Oxfrodu nad Wisłę, a także pochwałę badań podstawowych. Polecamy!W opisie wykorzystaliśmy fragmenty informacji prasowej Uniwersytetu im. Adama Mickiewicza.
Good morning from Pharma Daily: the podcast that brings you the most important developments in the pharmaceutical and biotech world. Today, we delve into a series of transformative events shaping the landscape of drug development, regulatory scrutiny, and corporate strategies.At the forefront is Madrigal Pharmaceuticals' strategic acquisition of Ribo Therapeutics' preclinical siRNA programs, valued at $4.4 billion. This move aims to fortify Madrigal's liver disease drug portfolio alongside its promising candidate, resmetirom. By expanding into RNA-based therapies, Madrigal highlights an industry trend focused on gene silencing techniques to target genetic diseases more precisely.Turning to Moderna, it faces a regulatory hurdle as the FDA issued a refusal-to-file letter for its mRNA-based flu vaccine. The regulator's concerns about the trial design, specifically the use of a licensed standard-dose seasonal influenza vaccine as a control arm, emphasize the complexities of advancing mRNA technologies beyond COVID-19 applications. This situation underscores the necessity for meticulous trial designs that align with evolving regulatory standards.In cell therapy, allogeneic CAR-T treatments are gaining attention as companies strive to make these therapies more accessible by using T cells from healthy donors, rather than modifying a patient's cells. Despite technical challenges like graft-versus-host disease and immune rejection, these treatments promise streamlined manufacturing and reduced costs, marking a significant evolution from the pioneering autologous CAR-T success with Emily Whitehead in 2012. Eli Lilly's entry into CAR T-cell therapy through a $2.4 billion acquisition of Orna represents an ambitious expansion into autoimmune therapies. This strategic move exemplifies a broader trend where companies diversify portfolios to include emerging therapeutic modalities promising transformative impacts on patient care.In respiratory medicine, Upstream Bio's phase 2 trial of its TSLP receptor agonist showed encouraging results in reducing asthma exacerbations, comparable to Tezspire. However, falling short of best-case scenarios leaves room for competitors to present more compelling data. This illustrates the competitive nature of asthma treatment development and the ongoing quest for superior therapeutic options.A critical regulatory update arises from the NIH's decision to halt the Xarelto arm of a stroke prevention trial due to safety concerns. This decision highlights the indispensable role of independent monitoring committees in ensuring patient safety and meaningful clinical trial outcomes.On the corporate front, AstraZeneca has articulated an ambitious goal to achieve over 25 blockbuster drugs by 2030 as part of its strategy to reach $80 billion in revenue. This vision underscores the importance of innovation and strategic planning in sustaining growth within an increasingly competitive market.Fujifilm Biotechnologies' completion of its £400 million expansion project in the UK is another notable development, signaling robust investment in antibody production capabilities. This expansion positions Fujifilm as a key player in biopharmaceutical contract manufacturing and underscores the growing demand for flexible production technologies.The biotech sector is also witnessing significant activity with Pelage making strides in addressing hair loss through promising candidate developments. The market's enthusiasm for innovative solutions beyond traditional treatments reflects a broader demand for cutting-edge approaches to longstanding medical challenges.In obesity treatment, Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly continue to lead with notable advancements. Novo Nordisk's recent developments with its Wegovy pill have been positively received, yet analysts question if this will suffice in maintaining their competitive edge given the dynamic nature of this therapeutic areSupport the show

Synopsis: At the heart of JPM 2026's biotech buzz, Alok Tayi sits down with Fred Aslan, CEO of Artiva, to explore how bold platform bets, scalable cell therapies, and autoimmune breakthroughs could reshape medicine. Fred traces his journey from medical school in Brazil to consulting at BCG, venture capital, and ultimately founding multiple companies—sharing why following curiosity, not rigid career ladders, shaped his path. Fred dives deep into the bottlenecks holding back traditional CAR-T therapies—manufacturing complexity, cost, hospitalization, and toxicity—and explains how Artiva's off-the-shelf NK-cell platform aims to change the paradigm. The discussion explores why rheumatoid arthritis became Artiva's lead indication, how immune “resets” could redefine autoimmune care, and what's ahead in 2026 as the company prepares registrational trials and expands its basket studies across lupus, myositis, scleroderma, and more. The episode closes with rapid-fire takes on AI in drug development, China's accelerating biotech engine, rare disease trial models, and the strategic principles founders should follow when choosing indications and building durable platforms.

As cell and gene therapies continue to deliver promising clinical results, manufacturing remains one of the biggest barriers to broader commercialization. Persistent challenges around cost, complexity, labor intensity, and vein-to-vein timelines—particularly for autologous CAR-T therapies—are limiting the industry's ability to scale beyond niche and last-line indications. Addressing these constraints will be critical if CGTs are to move earlier in treatment paradigms and reach more patients globally. In this episode of Off Script, we spoke with Jon Ellis, CEO of Trenchant BioSystems, about the current state of cell and gene therapy manufacturing and where the industry must go next. The conversation explores why traditional centralized manufacturing models are struggling to scale, how automation and digital batch records can significantly compress manufacturing timelines, and how emerging platforms are rethinking cell recovery, analytics integration, and starting material strategies.
We love to hear from our listeners. Send us a message. On this week's episode of the Business of Biotech, we're speaking with Cindy Perettie, Executive Vice President and Global Head at Kite Pharma, a Gilead-owned company focused on curing cancer with cell therapies. Perettie talks about scaling cell therapies in the community setting, global manufacturing strategy, preparing for the launch of late-stage development programs in lymphoma and multiple myeloma, and working with partners like Arcellx. She also discusses cell therapy funding cycles and big pharma, the autologous versus allogeneic divide, why in vivo CAR-T therapies could be a game changer, what the FDA's focus on cell and gene therapies could mean for U.S. competition, and more.

Ready to make 2026 the year your route runs smoother, faster, and with less strain? We're sharing the exact tools that pay you back in minutes saved and backs spared, plus how to pick the right version for your truck, your clients, and your local conditions.We start with the true workhorse: your pole. Carbon fiber has become the smartest upgrade for daily service thanks to its lighter weight, stiffness, and durability. You'll hear how Primate's vertical lever locks and 3-piece reach let you cover most pools from one side while fitting comfortably in short beds. Then we break down the vacuum landscape. Riptide and Hammerhead remain the heavy hitters with reliable carts and power, but cordless heads like the Bottom Feeder and Shrimp now level up with a cartridge filter assembly that captures dirt down to fine microns while still gobbling leaves. If you want less setup and more clean, this change is a big win.Next, we get practical about skimming and testing. The Piranha 2 quick-flip leaf rake edges out the Red Baron for its balanced lip and easy dumps that save precious seconds on every basket-empty day. For water chemistry, the LaMotte ColorQ 2X Pro 9 delivers photometer accuracy without Spin Touch pricing, and crucially adds copper and iron testing to diagnose staining and metals from fill water. We also cover a field favorite: the Multi-Torque socket set that turns stubborn filter lids into a quick drill job and keeps knuckles intact, plus the glove setup that protects hands year-round—light nitrile-coated pairs for daily work and long-cuff Atlas 772s for cold mornings.• Carbon fiber poles with fast vertical locks and smart sizing• Cart vacs vs cordless heads for debris and dirt pickup• Bottom Feeder and Shrimp with cartridge filter assembly• Leaf rakes compared: Piranha 2 quick-flip vs Red Baron• Photometry: ColorQ 2X Pro 9 vs Spin Touch use cases• Multi-Torque sockets for faster, safer filter service• Hand protection: nitrile-coated gloves and cold-weather picks• Discounts and part numbers to make buSend us a textSupport the Pool Guy Podcast Show Sponsors!

Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 3-05-2026: >ul> Dr. Dawn presents a whimsical "theme park tour" of the upper gastrointestinal tract, from saliva production triggered by sight and smell of food, through the esophageal sphincter's iris-like opening, into the stomach's pH-1 acid bath where parietal cells produce 3,000 mg of hydrochloric acid per meal. She explains protective mechanisms including the bicarbonate layer beneath stomach mucus, H. pylori's role in ulcers, and how H2 blockers and proton pump inhibitors work—cautioning about long-term PPI effects on B12 and calcium absorption. The tour continues through the pylorus into the duodenum where pancreatic enzymes and bile converge, then along the 23-foot small intestine with its tennis-court surface area of villi absorbing nutrients, iron in the duodenum, most nutrients in the jejunum, and B12 requiring intrinsic factor in the ileum. Dr. Dawn explains why pancreatic cancer—projected to become the second leading cause of cancer death by 2030—is so deadly, using a medieval castle metaphor. The tumor microenvironment acts as an impenetrable moat of desmoplastic stroma made of fibroblasts, collagen, and hyaluronic acid that blocks drugs and immune cells. Over 90% of cases have K-RAS mutations acting as growth accelerators that also thicken this protective barrier and increase CD47 "don't eat me" signals. She discusses emerging treatments including K-RAS inhibitors, PARP inhibitors for BRCA mutations, and combination immunotherapies showing 67% response rates, while noting that CAR T-cell therapy and checkpoint inhibitors alone fail because they cannot penetrate the stroma. Dr. Dawn summarizes Duke researcher Herman Ponzer's work using doubly-labeled water to measure total energy expenditure, revealing that humans burn 20-60% more calories than other great apes when adjusted for body mass. His surprising finding: Hadza hunter-gatherers walking 8-14 kilometers daily burn the same calories as sedentary Americans—the body compensates by reducing energy spent on inflammation and stress responses. This "constrained energy expenditure" model explains why exercise alone doesn't cause weight loss, though it remains crucial for preventing weight gain, reducing disease risk, and potentially tamping down harmful stress responses.

This month Alt.Latino's been looking at the music of Venezuela from a lot of different angles. For this episode, we've invited trumpet player and producer Ella Bric to be our guest DJ. She shared what she thinks are the most socially, culturally and politically impactful pieces of music to come out of Venezuela in the last half century.Ella Bric grew up in a migrant-rich town in Venezuela called San Antonio de los Altos, surrounded by a culturally-minded, socially conscious community. She's now based in New York, and in recent years has positioned herself as a prolific producer on the rise in the Latin music space. In 2018, she won a Latin Grammy for Producer of the Year, and she says her art comes from a curiosity about the state of the world and her desire to reflect that.(00:00) Introduction(01:46) La Vida Bohème, 'Hornos del Cal'(06:41) Betsayda Machado & Parranda el Clavo, 'Sentimiento'(11:35) María Rodríguez, 'Los Dos Titanes'(15:11) Ali Primera, 'Techos de Cartón'(19:52) Linda Briceño & Orlando Watson, 'Unfinished Song'(24:38) Desorden Público, 'Politicos Paraliticos'(27:36) Bucle Lunar, 'Subió El Maldito Dolar'This podcast episode was produced by Noah Caldwell.
