Tosoh Corporation Announces Plant Expansion

Boehringer Ingelheim licenses six preclinical ADC and T-cell engager programs from Sino Biopharmaceutical in a deal worth up to $7 billion, Spyre Therapeutics drops anti-TL1A antibody SPY072 in rheumatic diseases after phase 2 misses and turns to hidradenitis suppurativa, and Biora Therapeutics gets ethics approval for a first-in-human trial of its BioJet oral adalimumab capsule.

Matt Trupo, Richard Jaenisch, and Brian Drapeau explore how AI advances biological insights, drug-target discovery, and supply chains.

As access to low Earth orbit expands, space-based research is opening possibilities in drug discovery, formulation, and manufacturing. In Part 1, the authors look at how microgravity changes biology and chemistry in ways that can’t be reproduced on Earth and where it fits from target discovery to life cycle management.

Aldevron and IDT added PE Ultra prime editor mRNA and 6 ABE8e base editor mRNAs to help researchers edit DNA without double-strand breaks.

The half-life-extended antibody failed its primary endpoints in two Phase 2 SKYWAY sub-studies, so Spyre is dropping it in rheumatic diseases and moving it into a combination trial in hidradenitis suppurativa.

Biora will test oral adalimumab via its BioJet capsule vs injection in healthy volunteers, with dosing from December 2026 and data in early 2027.

Boehringer Ingelheim will pay Sino Biopharmaceutical $358 million upfront and near-term for options on six biologic oncology programs, deepening a partnership that began in 2024.

A former CIA officer, Pacific Research Institute economists, and industry groups say Treasury's proposed COINS Act biotechnology restrictions are too broad, while the National Security Commission on Emerging Biotechnology backs the move. Comments are due December 7, 2026.
