What the paper reports

This industry perspective examines native mass spectrometry as a complement to established biopharmaceutical characterization methods. It discusses intact assemblies, binding, stoichiometry, and heterogeneity, while identifying throughput, sensitivity, automation, and access limitations. The authors emphasize integration with analytical workflows rather than universal replacement of existing methods.

Why this paper is included

Useful when deciding which characterization questions justify a native-MS workflow.

The interpretation above is analysis, not a conclusion attributed to the original source.

FDA finalizes lifecycle potency assurance guidance for cell and gene therapies

FDA announced final guidance on potency assurance for cellular and gene therapies on November 2. Its recommendations integrate manufacturing-process design, material and process controls, in-process testing, and lot-release potency assays. The agency emphasizes product-specific, risk-based strategies across development and commercialization; this is final guidance, not approval of any individual therapy.
