Nanoform | November 27, 2020
Nanoform Finland Plc ("Nanoform"), an innovative nanoparticle medication empowering organization, today reported a proprietary technology that can frame biological nanoparticles as small as 50 nm and declared another close term business focus for 2021 to convey its first biologics Proof of Concept project for this new technology with a pharmaceutical or biotech partner.
As drug molecules become more complex so do the alternatives to convey them. This complex nanoparticle formation technology gives want to improving the potential outcomes and probabilities of growing better medications for patients and it extends Nanoform's reach into the growing biological market. The technology is in its beginning phases of advancement and a patent application has recently been filed with the US Patent Office for the technology. As of today, Nanoform has two non-GMP lines on the biologics side notwithstanding the eight CESS® little atom nanoparticle innovation non-GMP lines.

INDUSTRY OUTLOOK
BIOMEDICAN | December 03, 2020
BIOMEDICAN, a biotech organization planning patented minimal methods for developing high-value compounds at scale with proprietary yeasts, has entered the Astaxanthin market to diversify products outside of Cannabinoids. This new advancement permits BIOMEDICAN's biosynthesis platform to focus on any high-value compound and fundamentally disturb the current advances.
Astaxanthin is a widely used, high-value compound known as a powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory. The Astaxanthin market comprises of three primary segments: fish feed, animal feed, and human utilization. Astaxanthin's worth is developing astronomically: its market was worth over $1 billion in 2019 and is projected to be worth $3.3 billion by 2027.

Neurophth | January 19, 2021
Neurophth Therapeutics, Inc., a subsidiary of Wuhan Neurophth Biotechnology Ltd. gene therapy organization, and AAVnerGene Inc., a practicing AAV innovation organization, reports a strategic partnership to provide Neurophth with overall rights to commonly choose adeno-associated virus (AAV) capsids for the next generation ophthalmic gene therapy.
AAVnerGene's Tissue-specific, Highly-transductive and Expressive New AAVs (ATHENA) screening stage can productively choose the best AAV vector for every cell type in a high-throughput (HTP) way. Significant difficulties in AAV-based gene therapy are the transduction productivity, conceivable resistance to the capsid and complex assembling measures. The capacity to distinguish appropriate cutting edge AAV vectors that could beat the limits of before generation AAV vectors is basic to a patient for accomplishing adequate helpful articulation of the moved gene in the most minimal portion dose regular strategy, for example, intravitreal (IVT) injection with reasonable cost.
"AAVnerGene's proprietary technology may create capsid libraries derived from artificial intelligence machine learning, DNA shuffling or directed evolution allowing a significant increase in AAV genetic payload capacity, production, and transduction with the ability to penetrate through the inner limiting membrane of the retina, thus potentially enhance the overall transduction efficiency of capsid library-derived AAV vectors," said Alvin Luk, Ph.D., M.B.A., Chief Executive Officer of Neurophth. "Importantly, if proven successful, the administration of the selected AAVnerGene capsid variant(s) in gene therapy may enable repeated dosing AAVs in both adults and pediatric patients, potentially improving the clinical efficacy at a lower vector dose with better penetration of the barriers in eyes using a safer and less invasive procedure such as intravitreal injection which lower the risk of immune response to the capsid."
