The immuno-oncology market
Long considered as cellular debris with no biological function, exosomes, and more generally extracellular vesicles (EVs), are now recognized as vectors of biological material with a role in intercellular communication. The building of knowledge on the subject has not only highlighted their role in certain pathologies, but also revealed their potential as biomarkers and therapeutic tools.
The beginnings of cell culture
Cell culture is the cornerstone of biomedical research and biotechnology innovation. Although the bioproduction of biomedicines in bioreactors is now the norm, and the use of organoids and “organ-on-a-chip” (OoC) is growing, the beginnings of in vitro cell culture were more modest.
