The organoid era: bringing patient-relevant preclinical models to the lab

Drug development is a lengthy and costly process that takes at least 10 years on average from drug discovery to commercialization, requiring billions of dollars in investment. However, over 90% of new drugs that are tested in clinical trials fail. Organoids — three-dimensional, patient-derived mini-organs in a dish — offer a solution to this challenge. […]

How a global network accelerated the development of a virus-like particle vaccine against Covid-19

Vaccines are among the most effective ways to improve and protect human health. Whereas vaccines in Europe and North America are regarded as part of the general medical plan, vaccine supply has always been a pressing issue in African countries. In the current Covid-19 pandemic, the ability to develop and manufacture vaccines in Africa instead […]
