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.
The history of biologics: from discovery to therapeutic revolution
Biopharmaceuticals, or biotherapies, are becoming increasingly important on the market, and offer immense hope for the treatment of many diseases. From the first discoveries of vaccines to the recent development of cell and gene therapies and regenerative medicine, looking back at biologics’ history lets us have a better understanding of the revolution that they provoked in the pharmaceutical industry and in modern medicine .
