Exosomes: Company Spotlights from “A” to “Z”

By

Exosomes are small vesicles ranging from 30-100nm in size that are found in nearly all eukaryotic fluids and facilitate a range of important cellular functions. They transfer DNA, RNA, and proteins to other cells, thereby altering the function of the targeted cells.

In recent years, exosomes have gained attention as a strategy for accessing the therapeutic effects of cells without the risks and difficulties of administering the cells to patients.

With at least 13,703 scientific articles published about exosomes and 169 clinical trials underway, these small vesicles have intriguing potential to be used within a range of therapeutic applications. [Read more…]

MDimune Collaborating with Paracelsus Medical University for EV Therapeutics

By

Seoul, Korea, Apr 30, 2020 — MDimune Inc., a cell-derived vesicle (CDVs)-based therapeutics company with BioDrone® platform technology, announced on April 30th, 2020, the signature of a research collaboration agreement with Paracelsus Medical University (PMU, Salzburg, Austria). PMU will bring their experience to further the company’s global development goals.

Those in attendance from PMU were Herbert Resch, Professor and Rector; Michael Nake, Chancellor; Eva Rohde, Professor, Vice Rector and Director of GMP laboratory; and Mario Gimona, Associate Professor and Head of Production GMP. Those in attendance from MDimune were Shin Gyu Bae, Chief Executive Officer; Seung Wook Oh, Chief Scientific Officer; Tae Kee Jeong, Chief Financial Officer; and Hui-Chong Lau, Manager of the CMC team.

The agreement states that PMU will develop a process for producing CDV therapeutics at GMP-compliant scale as well as supply them for the pre-clinical study and the initial phase of human clinical study. PMU has also agreed to establish GMP-grade mesenchymal stem cell banks derived from umbilical cords for MDimune, which will then be used to produce CDVs required for various preclinical and clinical development.

Market Forces Driving Growth of the Exosome Industry

By

Market forces driving growth of the exosome have been expanding over the past two years, with increasing investment flowing into the space, merger and acquisition (M&A) activity accelerating, and new therapeutics entering various stages of development. Exosomes are defined as small vesicles ranging from 30-100nm in size that are found in nearly all eukaryotic fluids and facilitate a range of important cellular functions. They transfer DNA, RNA, and proteins to other cells, thereby altering the function of the targeted cells. They are made in some form by all species, including bacteria that produce analogous outer membrane vesicles (OMC). [Read more…]
