The year 2026 marks the inaugural year of the 15th Five-Year Plan for the national economy, and the state attaches great importance to the development of the bioeconomy. Consequently, biologic therapeutic products and clinical treatment technologies centered on cell therapy are poised to enjoy tremendous room for growth. However, with the state’s clear designation of cell therapy products as advanced therapeutic drugs and cutting-edge biomedical technologies, the manufacturing and preparation of such products will inevitably face both substantial opportunities and formidable challenges. Therefore, comprehensively enhancing the quality of cell therapy products, refining manufacturing and preparation protocols, and adopting state-of-the-art production and preparation technologies will become unavoidable, existential challenges for institutions engaged in the manufacturing and preparation of cell therapy products as well as for pilot-scale production facilities involved in the R&D of cell-based therapeutics. In particular, the “Regulations on the Clinical Research and Clinical Translation and Application of New Biomedical Technologies,” promulgated by the State Council in 2025 (hereinafter referred to as Regulation No. 818), and the regulations to be issued in early 2026… Implementing Regulations of the Drug Administration Law of the People’s Republic of China (Hereinafter referred to as Regulation No. 828) further establishes tailored legal regulations specifically for cell therapy products and the manufacturing and preparation of cell-based drugs.
In order to coordinate with the State Council’s “ Regulation No. 818 The implementation of “and” the “Regulations No. 828” has helped cell therapy product and cell-based drug manufacturing and preparation facilities seize opportunities, address challenges, and comprehensively and systematically enhance the compliance standards of existing or planned new such facilities. The Bone Tissue Bank Branch of the China Association for Medical Biotechnology and the Pharmaceutical Cleanroom Technology Branch of the China Association for Medical Biotechnology have jointly organized “ Standardized Systemic Training Course on the Production of Cell Therapy Products and the Clinical Research and Clinical Translation Applications of New Biomedical Technologies ”。
This training program focuses on the regulatory standards governing the manufacturing of cell therapy products and the clinical research and translational applications of new biomedical technologies, attracting participants from enterprises, research institutes, clinical institutions, and industry-chain representatives across the country. Standardization is the fundamental basis for ensuring that these products are safe, effective, and accessible. Hycells As a one-stop upstream cell solutions provider offering primary cells, pharmacological efficacy services, and product services, we look forward to engaging in in-depth exchanges with industry experts and colleagues.

Compliance‑driven traceability establishes a clear “identity” for the product, but the real test lies in safety. While a multi‑donor pooling strategy ensures batch‑to‑batch consistency, it also inevitably elevates the risk of pathogen introduction. In the face of these associated risks and challenges, Heyousheng has never compromised on its manufacturing standards—relying on more precise design to deliver on its promise of enhanced safety.
This article will examine how He Yousheng proactively integrates the quality management system into the hospital setting, translating compliance requirements into concrete, actionable practices starting at the sample collection stage, thereby establishing a trust‑based chain that can withstand audit scrutiny.
In selecting hPL raw materials, Heyousheng consistently upholds the principle that “safety is determined at the source.” The samples used in production are rigorously collected in accordance with applicable standards and undergo stringent donor screening, effectively mitigating the risk of disease transmission at the very outset. Moreover, from informed consent forms and ethical approvals to clinical‑grade collection under the GCP framework, Heyousheng has established a fully traceable documentation chain, ensuring that every sample is accounted for and verifiable. In contrast to the industry’s longstanding reliance on the conventional model of using expired blood supplies from blood banks, this approach represents a structural, generational upgrade.
Recently, the research team led by Researcher Bian Yingjie at the Guangzhou National Laboratory, in collaboration with partners from Sun Yat-sen University, published a study titled “Iron overload in the tumor microenvironment induces CD8⁺ T cell ferroptosis and dysfunction” in the internationally renowned academic journal Nature Communications.
