If CAR-T and gene therapy are the future…why aren’t they saving more lives today? We’ve seen remarkable breakthroughs, but the reality is: ⚠️ CAR T-cell therapy still struggles with AML, solid tumors, and durability issues. ⚠️ Gene therapy remains inaccessible for most due to sky-high costs and manufacturing roadblocks. ⚠️ AI is revolutionizing drug discovery—but is it translating into real-world impact fast enough? At 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗖𝗲𝗹𝗹 & 𝗚𝗲𝗻𝗲 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗽𝘆 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱, the biggest minds in biotech tackled these hard truths. The good news? Breakthroughs are happening right now. ✅ 𝗛𝗜𝗩’𝘀 𝗡𝗘𝗙 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗶𝗻 → A novel way to extend CAR T-cell lifespan by reducing immune rejection. ✅ 𝗜𝗻 𝘃𝗶𝘃𝗼 𝗖𝗔𝗥 𝗧-𝗰𝗲𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗽𝘆 → Using lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) & lentiviral particles could eliminate costly ex vivo expansion. ✅ 𝗕𝗲𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘆 → CAR T is now targeting autoimmune diseases, transplantation, and even senescent cells—with lupus patients already seeing life-changing results. ✅ 𝗖𝗥𝗜𝗦𝗣𝗥 & 𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀 → New evidence suggests CRISPR may cross the blood-brain barrier, unlocking potential for Parkinson’s & Alzheimer’s treatments. ✅ 𝗥𝗲𝗱𝗼𝘀𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗽𝗶𝗲𝘀 → The era of single-shot gene therapy is evolving, paving the way for affordable, scalable solutions. 💰 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗖𝗵𝗲𝗰𝗸: Innovation is outpacing infrastructure. Cost, manufacturing, and regulatory pathways must evolve—fast. Until then, these therapies may remain out of reach for too many. #CellTherapy #GeneTherapy #CART #Biotech #HealthcareInnovation #CRISPR #AdvancedTherapies #Pharma #LifeSciences

People consistently ask what we are seeing on a day-to-day basis in the healthcare startup space, so I have to shout out that the neuromodulation arena is blowing our minds. While usually thought of as being synonymous with chronic pain, neuromodulation is now coming for chronic disease, mental health and even, autoimmunity. We are in the middle of a neuromodulation rebirth where innovation is catching up to potential, and the nervous system is being leveraged as a powerful therapeutic pathway for a range of complex diseases. Across the space, we are seeing: *Devices become smaller, smarter, and in some cases, even wireless or leadless. *Expanded indications. Neuromodulation is moving beyond pain and bladder control into autoimmune disease, metabolic conditions, tinnitus, depression, migraine, and inflammatory disorders. *Improved patient experience, the goal being simpler, more seamless therapy with fewer barriers to adoption. *New routes of delivery including non-invasive and percutaneous approaches. It might be one of the biggest transformations we have seen in a long time. In an industry focused on non-pharma, personalized, and preventative solutions, neuromodulation offers something rare: the ability to precisely target physiological systems without systemic side effects. The nervous system touches everything and innovators are finally treating it that way. If you’re not watching what’s happening in this space, you definitely should be! #medtech #neuromodulation #bioelectronicmedicine #healthtech #medicaldevices #innovation #futureofhealthcare

The Future of Psychiatry is here. Exciting new treatments are revolutionizing mental health care. New Podcast with Owen Muir MD DFAACAP discussing the cutting-edge world of neuromodulation and how it’s reshaping psychiatric treatment. 🎙️ Watch the full podcast here: 👉 https://lnkd.in/ekGrsRyx From TMS to vagus nerve stimulation, here’s what you need to know about the latest breakthroughs: 🔹 GammaCore (Non-Invasive Vagus Nerve Stimulation) ⚡ ✔️ FDA-approved for migraine, hemicrania continua, and cluster headaches ✔️ Investigated for PTSD, depression, and inflammatory disorders 💡 A handheld device placed on the neck that stimulates the vagus nerve, reducing headache frequency and severity, and potentially improving mood and anxiety. 🔹 Monarch ETNS (External Trigeminal Nerve Stimulation) 💡 ✔️ FDA-approved for ADHD in children (ages 7-12) and epilepsy ✔️ Off-label use for adult ADHD, emotional dysregulation, and sleep improvement 💡 A forehead patch worn overnight that stimulates the trigeminal nerve, improving attention without stimulant side effects. In some children, it’s twice as effective as stimulants 🔹 PRISM Neurofeedback 🎮 ✔️ FDA-cleared for PTSD treatment (adjunctive therapy) ✔️ Being explored for anxiety, emotional dysregulation, and performance enhancement 💡 Uses AI and EEG feedback to help patients regulate the amygdala (fear center of the brain), without needing to talk through their trauma. 🔹 Spravato (Esketamine) 💨 ✔️ FDA-approved for treatment-resistant depression (TRD) and major depressive disorder (MDD) with acute suicidal ideation ✔️ Off-label use for bipolar depression and chronic pain 💡 A nasal spray form of ketamine that provides rapid relief for depression but often requires ongoing maintenance treatments. 🔹 Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) 🧲 ✔️ FDA-approved for treatment-resistant depression (TRD), OCD, and smoking cessation ✔️ Being explored for PTSD, bipolar depression, chronic pain, and cognitive enhancement 💡 Delivers magnetic pulses to the brain to stimulate activity in depressed circuits. New accelerated protocols may shorten treatment from weeks to days! 💡 What This Means for Psychiatry: We are moving toward precise, circuit-based treatments, integrating neuromodulation and AI into mental health care. But for these treatments to become widely accessible, policy and insurance models must evolve. 🎥 Full podcast with Dr. Owen Muir: 👉 https://lnkd.in/ekGrsRyx
