The kidney proximal tubule is of key interest in drug discovery. This is due to its primary role in the excretion and reabsorption of xenobiotics, such as drugs and carcinogens. Current primary
In line with our previous Covid-19 Action Plan, Newcells Biotech has continued to review and invest in measures to reduce the risk to its staff and our wider community from the Covid-19
The proximal tubule is key due to its role in the excretion and reabsorption of many xenobiotic compounds. Due to the high costs associated with drug discovery and the clinical demand for
Covid-19 is known to infect the lungs. However, the dynamics of viral infection and replication are poorly understood. Alongside the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine, we have been working to develop a
At Newcells Biotech, we specialise in the large-scale production of retinal organoids for the purpose of in vitro toxicology efficacy studies and disease modelling. Our differentiation protocols generate organoids which are fully stratified with the presence of
Newcells Biotech, experts in induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) differentiation and assay construction, have confirmed their human lung epithelium model as an effective platform for modelling SARS-CoV-2 infection and replication. Their work alongside the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine (LTSM) Centre for Drugs and Diagnostics will be crucial in helping
Newcells Biotech, a pioneering life-sciences spin-out that applies Human induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (hiPSCs) to develop assays for drug development, have consolidated their two laboratory sites into 500m2 of laboratory and co-located office space in The Biosphere, which forms part of the Newcastle Helix cluster. The purpose-built space in the city centre site
Vaccination can be regarded as one of biomedicines biggest triumphs. Since Edward Jenner pioneered the smallpox vaccine in 1798, subsequent morbidity and mortality rates have declined for a multitude of diseases, such as Diphtheria, Whooping Cough and Measles.1 However, despite the success of these global vaccination
Biologics represent a new modality of drug molecules which is rapidly expanding in market share and in the number of biologics gaining regulatory approval each year. Biologics are defined as a diverse
The outbreak of the novel viral disease, COVID-19, caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has led to worldwide health and economic catastrophe.1 Almost 2 million cases and
Internationally renowned company, Newcells Biotech, are using their established expertise in human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) technology to test their existing model of the human lung epithelium as a platform for
As we all come to terms with the extraordinary and rapidly changing global situation caused by Covid-19, I would like to update you on the plans we have in place to ensure
