  • We're logging off! As the year comes to a close, it's a good time to remember that everyone deserves a break including our collaborators, clients and our team of dedicated scientists who have worked throughout the year to push forward drug discovery. The holiday season is the perfect time to pause, recharge, and spend quality time with loved ones. At Axol, we are incredibly proud of what we’ve accomplished this year, and we look forward to continuing our work together in the new year. But for now, it’s time for some well-earned rest. Wishing all of our colleagues, partners, and customers a peaceful Christmas and New Year season filled with joy. See you in 2025, where we will return ready to tackle new challenges and continue making a difference in the industry. #Rest #HolidayBreak #Teamwork #Recharge

  • FDA Modernization 3.0: A Step Toward Animal-Free Testing and Advanced In Vitro Models The FDA Modernization Act 3.0 being passed by the US Senate marks a significant milestone in the shift toward animal-free testing in drug development. As the FDA takes steps to modernize its regulations, microphysiological systems (MPS) and advanced in vitro systems like iPSC-based models are becoming central to this transformation. It was stated in a press release that "The FDA Modernization Act 3.0 is a bipartisan effort to reduce unnecessary animal testing while advancing scientific innovation. By fully implementing FDAMA 3.0, drug development can be both more humane and more efficient, ultimately leading to faster and more reliable treatments for patients." The integration of iPSC models into drug discovery and disease modeling offers the potential for more accurate, human-relevant data while reducing reliance on animal testing. These models allow for greater translational relevance, de-risking drug discovering and providing the platform for better understanding of human disease. The FDA Modernization Act 3.0 will pave the way for wider adoption of microphysiological platforms that could revolutionize the pharmaceutical industry. https://hubs.la/Q03013Ch0. As we look toward 2025, the continued advancement of iPSC models and MPS will be pivotal in shaping the future of drug development. We, as others in the industry, will continue to stay tuned for more updates as this space evolves. #FDA #iPSC #MPS #DrugDiscovery #AnimalFreeTesting #Biotech #FDAModernization #ScienceInnovation

  • *Excellent Webinar Alert* With the industry's push towards better human models of disease, the question remains, what constitutes an ideal model? We recently did a 2-part webinar series speaking about this which is now available to access. As we know, neurodegenerative diseases are a major global health issue, yet the drug development process is notoriously slow with 99.6% of potential new therapies for Alzheimer's Disease (AD) alone failing and thus, not reaching the market. With such high failure rates, there is an urgent need for better human-relevant models of such diseases in order to de-risk drug discovery and improve the bench-to-clinic translation gap. But what actually constitutes an ideal model and how do iPSCs meet these characteristics? In a recent 2-part webinar, our Senior Scientific Support Manager Dr. Steven Broadbent spoke in detail about this. In the first webinar, he spoke about how iPSCs constitute a good fit towards achieving better human models of disease compared to other models. He also discussed how we at Axol are using iPSCs to build these human-relevant models and how previously we have used them to build in vitro models to answer some specific disease-related questions. Of course, with most things in science, there are existing challenges within this space which includes the challenge of translating these iPSCs into more complex models. This was also discussed in the first webinar. In the second webinar, Dr. Steven detailed some of the practical case studies we have done specifically in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and AD in creating these more complex physiologically relevant human disease models. If you missed the webinars, not to worry you can watch them here: https://hubs.la/Q02_qrL40 If you have any questions, contact us at operations@axolbio.com. #iPSCs #learnwithAxol #Neurodegenerativeresearch #AlzheimersDisease #ALS
