Transforming Cancer Treatment with Safer Alternatives
In the battle against blood cancers, CAR T-cell therapies have made waves, offering hope for many patients. However, their severe side effects have raised significant concerns. Enter natural killer (NK) cells, a game-changing alternative that promises to deliver powerful immunotherapy with a much safer profile.
The Challenge of Production
Despite their potential, the widespread adoption of NK cells in allogeneic applications faces a crucial hurdle: large-scale production. The complexity of cultivating these cells often limits their availability and efficacy.
Innovations with Vertical-Wheel® Bioreactors
A groundbreaking solution is on the horizon through PBS Biotech's Vertical-Wheel® Bioreactors. These advanced systems create a low-shear, highly homogenous environment that dramatically enhances NK cell expansion. As compared to traditional static cultures, these bioreactors boost cumulative fold expansion and cytotoxicity, ensuring that NK cells pack a punch when it matters most.
Optimizing Cell Expansion for Better Outcomes
Performance can be further improved with higher agitation rates, optimizing the production process for more effective treatment options. This innovation could be the key to unlocking the full potential of NK cells in fighting cancer.
