Rare-disease foundation backs regenerative research – OutSourcing-Pharma.com

Friday, December 4th, 2020

CureDuchenne is a global nonprofit honed in on discovering a cure for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). Its funding arm, CureDuchenne Ventures, is investing in regenerative medicine firm Mesentech, as part of a joint funding collaboration with the Charles H Hood Foundation (which seeks to advance early-stage research for pediatric conditions).

CureDuchenne Ventures, the funding arm of CureDuchenne (a nonprofit aimed at discovering a cure for Duchenne muscular dystrophy) is investing in Mesentech Inc., a regenerative medicine company with a prodrug platform that selectively delivers therapeutics to bone. The project is part of a new joint funding collaboration with the Charles H. Hood Foundation (CHF), which seeks to advance early-stage research for pediatric conditions.

Lianna Orlando, CureDuchennes senior director of research, told Outsourcing-Pharma that bone fractures and quality of life are the top two main outcome measures identified by people with DMD.

Individuals with Duchenne are at a high risk for osteoporosis for multiple reasons that include reduced weight-bearing activity (which normally drives development of strong and dense bones), as well as a side-effect of glucocorticoid therapy, and from the effect of the chronic inflammatory response seen in dystrophin-deficient muscles, she said. Fractures in the vertebral bones of the spine are seen in up to 30% of boys with Duchenne, and in addition to being very painful may lead to spine deformity; fractures in the long bones in the arm or the leg are common, and in many cases lead to permanent loss of ambulation.

Whats more, she said, bone fractures can lead to additional complications.

Long bone fractures can release fat emboli into the bloodstream, which can obstruct blood flow in critical places, including the lungsmost often the lungs. Although rare, fat embolism syndrome is a particularly serious complication of bone fractures in Duchenne; in the most severe cases, fat embolisms can lead to death, Orlando told OSP.

The CureDuchenne investment supports Mesentechs lead program, MES-1007, into clinical development and its evaluation in DMD. There are currently no approved therapies for bone wastage for individuals affected by DMD.

Debra Miller, founder and CEO of CureDuchenne, said the investment and collaboration hold the potential to increase the groups impact.

Addressing bone morbidities that contribute to the loss of ambulation could significantly add quality of life to everyone affected by Duchenne, said Miller.

In addition to providing Mesentech with funding, CureDuchenne intends to play an active role in advancing the prodrug technology platform for DMD. Additionally, CureDuchenne chief scientific officer Michael Kelly will join Mesentechs scientific advisory board.

Hematologist/Stem Cell Biologist to Direct Hematology and Cellular Therapy at Cedars-Sinai – Newswise

Friday, December 4th, 2020

Newswise LOS ANGELES (Dec. 1, 2020) -- Internationally recognized hematologist John P. Chute, MD, has been selected to direct the Division of Hematology and Cellular Therapy in the Department of Medicine at Cedars-Sinai Cancer. The physician-scientist also will serve as director of the Center for Myelodysplastic Diseases Research and associate director of the Board of Governors Regenerative Medicine Institute in the Department of Biomedical Sciences. Chute assumed his new post Nov. 23.

The selection of Chute, following a national search, reflects the importance of his pioneering research in blood-forming stem cells called hematopoietic stem cells, which can self-renew and generate all cell types found in the blood and immune system. Over the past decade, Chute's lab has discovered several growth factors produced by the cells that line the walls of blood vessels; they play a critical role in blood-forming stem cell regeneration.

"Dr. Chute is an exceptional addition to our faculty," saidDanTheodorescu, MD, PhD, director ofCedars-Sinai Cancer. "His international reputation as a physician-scientist who has made major contributions to stem cell and hematopoietic cell biologywill greatly contribute to positioning the newly created Division of Hematology and Cell Therapy as one of the best in the nation, while providing Cedars-Sinai Cancer patients with exciting new options for the treatment of blood malignancies."

In addition to his hematopoietic stem cell research, Chute said he looks forward to expanding Cedars-Sinai's CAR T-cell research and therapy. He describes the immune-boosting therapeutic as "transformative" for patients with advanced non-Hodgkinlymphoma,childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemiaand potentially several additional blood cancers.

CAR T-cell therapy is a type of immunotherapy in which patients' own immune cells, called T cells, are collected from their blood, and then an artificial receptor chimeric antigen receptor, or CAR is added to the cells' surface. The receptor enables the modified cells to specifically eradicate cancer cells. The cells are infused back into a patient's body intravenously, where they multiply and attack tumor cells.

"CAR T therapy has become an important treatment option for so many patients with advanced cancer who had no options before," Chute said. "That's what makes CAR T therapy so exciting."

Chute joins Cedars-Sinai from the David Geffen School of Medicine at the UCLA, where he was a professor of Medicine and Radiation Oncology in the Division of Hematology/Oncology and an investigator in the Broad Stem Cell Research Center.

Chute earned his medical degree at Georgetown University. He completed his residency in internal medicine and fellowship in Hematology/Oncology at the National Naval Medical Center. He completed his research training at the National Cancer Institute and the Naval Medical Research Institute.

"I'm excited to join the Cedars-Sinai Cancer faculty because of the opportunity to collaborate with the world-class scientists and top-tier physicians at the cancer center," Chute said. "Cedars-Sinai has always been a leading medical center and is deeply committed to basic and translational research, while also growing the hematology and cellular therapy specialties. I'm eager to play a leading role in that growth."

How biotech startup Seragen is reworking infertility treatments with regenerative therapies – YourStory

Friday, December 4th, 2020

BABIES!

Most people love babies and want a few at some point in their life. But for about 30 million infertile couples in India, alone, babies are an out-of-reach pipe dream.

When Vasanthi Palanivel, a biotech scientist with two decades of experience, saw her friend, Srinivas Chari and his wife undergoing issues with conceiving a baby - and the immense grief that failed treatments caused - she decided to do something about it.

Vasanthis work in the biotech space focused specifically on tissue engineering and stem cell-based treatments, and she decided to use that expertise to develop a regenerative medicine-based infertility treatment, which she claims is better than most traditional treatments available today.

Fertility treatments are expensive - around Rs 1 lakh to Rs 1.25 lakh, per cycle, according to price ranges outlined online by leading IVF treatment centres, have low success rates, and, more importantly, are not covered by insurance. Only a percent of the 30 million infertile couples in India seek IVF treatments, and most of them target very specific problems with synthetic solutions, instead of restoring the patients health, holistically.

She says plasma-based treatments offer breakthroughs where traditional medicine has limited scope. Regenerative treatments are also generally safer, fast-acting, and go beyond just treating the symptoms and problem areas - they help restore organs, tissues and muscles to their ideal state so that the body can function as its supposed to.

So far, the startup has raised angel funding from several individual investors, and is open to more investments. Vasanthi, whos also the startups Chief Scientific Officer, says the venture is profitable, and growing at 100 percent, year on year.

Seragen, founded in 2018, treats over 10 conditions related to male and female infertility, including repeated miscarriages, low testosterone, erectile dysfunction, hormonal imbalance and endometriosis, among others.

The startup gets most of its clients via doctor referrals. On a pre-determined date, the patients case history detailing their medical condition, and their blood sample is collected by Seragens laboratory. The scientists then concoct a personalised fertility medicine, specific to the patients condition, and then send it back to the doctor for administering.

The process takes around 45 minutes, and the medication kicks in roughly 48 hours later.

The cost of the treatment is less than 10 percent of current fertility treatments, she adds.

So far, Seragen has treated over 2,000 patients. Its most requested treatments are for ovarian failures and endometrium. Women over 35 form a large part of the startups patient base.

Currently, the firm is piloting an immunology-based protocol with Indira IVF to target miscarriages - and Vasanthi says she hopes to publish encouraging results soon. The company is also working on a treatment to help prevent the death of mothers after they give birth.

Present in several cities in India already, Seragen is aiming to strengthen its presence domestically, as well as internationally. The startup says it will start operating in South Asian countries like Sri Lanka and Seychelles soon.

The startup competes with generic infertility treatment providers, as well as some stem cell-based therapy providers.

The global regenerative market is expected to reach $17.9 billion by 2025, from $8.5 billion in 2020, and growing at a CAGR of 15.9 percent, a Markets and Markets research report showed. Chronic diseases, genetic disorders and cancers, as well as rising investments in regenerative medicine research is expected to drive most of the growth, the research said.

EVerZom Raises 1.1M to Industrialize Its Exosome Biomanufacturing Platform – Business Wire

Friday, December 4th, 2020

PARIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--EVerZom, a biopharmaceutical company specialized in the bioproduction of exosomes, announced today that it has raised 1.1 million in funding from institutional and private investors to develop its exosome bioproduction platform. This funding will speed up the platform development and scale-up, with the objective to allow routine clinical grade production by 2022.

Towards the emergence of new therapeutics in regenerative medicine

Exosomes are biological nanoparticles released by cells as an intercellular communication system to transport biomolecules. They have the ability to deliver therapeutics or regenerate tissue in several pathologies, including osteoarthritis, heart failure, and liver and kidney diseases, conditions which impact more than 150 million patients worldwide. Exosomes are now considered one of the safest and most promising future regenerative therapy solutions. They are also easy to store and have a low immunogenic profile, thus reinforcing their potential.

Increasingly, academic and industrial players are working on the therapeutic potential of exosomes. The main obstacle to the translation of exosomes into clinical development is industrial manufacturing while maintaining robust quality and reproducibility.

EVerZom's proprietary innovation consists in applying turbulence stimulation on cells to trigger massive exosome release. This approach enables the production of ten times more exosome ten times more rapidly than classical methods. The technology is being developed and already implemented in GMP certified systems, simplifying the clinical transfer.

This technology and the know-how developed around exosomes allows EVerZom to offer a scalable and reproducible exosome production process with robust quality controls. Everzom's internal R&D is continuing its work on the link between the qualification of exosomes and their application potential. EVerZom's ambition is to become the European leader in the bioproduction of exosomes.

"We are delighted with this financing opportunity, which will enable us to industrialize our proprietary technology and meet the growing demand of the exosome market. Our ambition is to foster the emergence of new exosome therapeutic strategies and to make them accessible to the largest possible number of patients as quickly as possible" explains Jeanne Volatron, Co-founder and President of EVerZom. http://www.everzom.com

Get Exclusive PDF Sample Copy Of This Report:https://www.tmrresearch.com/sample/sample?flag=B&rep_id=1889

Regenerative medicine also involves the attempts to grow tissues and organs in a laboratory environment, wherein they can be put in a body that cannot heal a particular part. Such implants are mainly preferred to be derived from the patients own tissues and cells, particularly stem cells. Looking at the promising nature of stem cells to heal and regenerative various parts of the body, this field is certainly expected to see a bright future. Doing this can help avoid opting for organ donation, thus saving costs. Some healthcare centers might showcase a shortage of organ donations, and this is where tissues regenerated using patients own cells are highly helpful.

There are several source materials from which regeneration can be facilitated. Extracellular matrix materials are commonly used source substances all over the globe. They are mainly used for reconstructive surgery, chronic wound healing, and orthopedic surgeries. In recent times, these materials have also been used in heart surgeries, specifically aimed at repairing damaged portions.

Cells derived from the umbilical cord also have the potential to be used as source material for bringing about regeneration in a patient. A vast research has also been conducted in this context. Treatment of diabetes, organ failure, and other chronic diseases is highly possible by using cord blood cells. Apart from these cells, Whartons jelly and cord lining have also been shortlisted as possible sources for mesenchymal stem cells. Extensive research has conducted to study how these cells can be used to treat lung diseases, lung injury, leukemia, liver diseases, diabetes, and immunity-based disorders, among others.

LUCA Science Announces Joint Research With Division of Cardiology, Field of Internal Medicine, Nagoya University Graduate School of Medicine on the…

Friday, December 4th, 2020

TOKYO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--LUCA Science (Tokyo, Japan), a biotechnology company pioneering a novel class of mitochondrial therapeutics, announced today that it will collaborate with the Division of Cardiology, Field of Internal Medicine, Nagoya University Graduate School of Medicine to initiate a joint research on the development of mitochondrial therapy for cardiac ischemicreperfusion injury.

Background of joint research

Ischemic heart disease (myocardial infarction and angina) still remains the leading cause of death in the world despite advances in treatment and prevention *1. Ischemia, the cause of these disorders, is a condition in which blood flow is temporarily blocked, interrupting the oxygen supply to the myocardial tissue and severely impairing its function. Blood reperfusion is required to recover tissue function. However, reperfusion causes an increase in intracellular calcium and reactive oxygen species (free radicals), which induce intracellular mitochondrial damage, cardiomyocyte necrosis, and arrhythmias, among other disorders.

The Division of Cardiology, Field of Internal Medicine, Nagoya University Graduate School of Medicine is conducting basic and clinical research on regenerative medicine, severe heart failure, arrhythmia and ischemic heart disease, and has extensive experience in research on the diagnosis and treatment of various cardiovascular diseases such as ischemic heart disease, arrhythmia, valvular heart disease, cardiomyopathy, pulmonary hypertension and peripheral arterial disease.

LUCA Science is developing an innovative platform of highly functional mitochondrial therapy using proprietary technologies: LUCA Sciences mitochondria can be stored and delivered as a biopharmaceutical agent. The bioenergetics enhancement, tissue protection and cellular functional improvement from the mitochondria therapy is expected to reduce the size of myocardial infarction due to ischemia-reperfusion injury and provide therapeutic benefits for acute myocardial infarction.

Comment from Prof. Toyoaki Murohara at the Division of Cardiology, Field of Internal Medicine, Nagoya University Graduate School of Medicine.

Mitochondria are very important organelles that produce energy in the cell. Until now, most research has been conducted to improve mitochondrial function using drugs, but this is a completely new and innovative research project that involves the direct administration of purified mitochondria into the body for therapeutic applications. We are planning to work with LUCA Science to study the effects of mitochondrial therapy on myocardial damage.

About LUCA Science

LUCA Science is a preclinical stage biopharmaceutical company pioneering a new class of mitochondrial therapy to restore cellular bioenergetics in dysfunctional or damaged tissues and organs. Mitochondria are the power plants in our cells that produce energy for our bodies. LUCA Science has developed a novel method to isolate proprietary functional mitochondria which can then be stored and delivered as a biopharmaceutical agent. The advanced delivery system can be applied not just for mitochondria but also other compounds that can improve bioenergetics in specific cells or tissues.

LUCA Science recently completed $9.8 million Series A financing.

Regenerative medicine – Mayo Clinic

Saturday, November 28th, 2020

Regenerative medicine is a rapidly growing but still largely experimental field that takes a new approach to treating disease. It attempts to restore health by rejuvenating, repairing or replacingdamaged or degenerating cells, tissues and organs. The goal is to restore form and function by relying on the body's ability to heal itself. The potential to find cures, improve care outcomes and boost quality of life stretches to a vast menu of opportunities throughout the body and throughout life. The tools to reach these goals are diverse. They're often based on various types of stem cells. These are special cells that can divide and multiply to produce any type of the more specialized cells in the body, and can be coaxed to promote body healing.

Principles of regenerative medicine are already being used in medical practice with improvements in bone marrow transplantation, treatment for some cancers and early prevention of congenital lung deformities even before birth. Researchers and doctors are developing regenerative medicine techniques to ensure better ways to treat a range of medical problems including heart disease, arthritis, diabetes, stroke and dementia.

Significant investment is fueling the growth of regenerative science and its application in medical care. Mayo Clinic has established a Center for Regenerative Medicine. The National Institutes of Health, with funding from Congress, has established the Regenerative Medicine Innovation Project. Still, the field is young and most related work happens in the laboratory or in clinical trials rather than in a hospital bed. The ethical dimensions of implementing...

What is regenerative medicine? – Sanford Health News

Saturday, November 28th, 2020

Sanford Health a history of innovating and leading the way in new research.

Something that grabbed the attention of the NFL Alumni Association.

The NFL Alumni Association is a non-profit that looks to support retired NFL athletes and cheerleaders after their initial careers are over.

Because of the strenuous activity put on their bodies, many athletes walk away from the sport with nagging injuries without the option for care. This has led the NFL Alumni to seek out innovators in the world of health care.

Recently, Dr. David Pearce, Sanford Health president for innovation, research and World Clinic, spoke on regenerative medicine at a congressional briefing. His expertise prompted Kyle Richardson and Billy Davis, co-directors of health care initiatives for the NFL Alumni Association, to inquire about regenerative medicine and how it may serve retired athletes.

More: NFL Alumni tour Sanford, discuss regenerative medicine

As Dr. Pearce told Sanford Health News, its a complicated term, but regenerative medicine is essentially about healing. Dr. Pearce explains that regenerative healing takes something from your own body to heal a wound or an injury.

Im going to give you an example: if you cut yourself right now, it heals, right? The components within your body have the ability to heal an injury, such as a cut. If we twist our ankle and we get swelling, our body reacts and heals that injury. Regenerative medicine is about accelerating that healing so, taking a component of your body, and accelerating that healing and making it better.

Not only for retired athletes, this form of therapy could benefit everyone as they age.

As we get older, we start to deteriorate. So, we can harness our own body to maybe take some of those components that would be used to fix an injury to actually slow down the aging process and the wear and tear on joints, partiucularly in orthopedics.

Thats one of the highlighted areas that we are studying right now. As your knees grind away and you get arthritis, regenerative medicine is about taking some of those healing components to help regenerate and slow down that process, to heal those aches and pains, said Dr. Pearce.

Tiffany Facile is a research development partner at Sanford Health, and soon-to-be director of regenerative medicine at Sanford Health.

She says its imperative this medicine develops through the science of clinical trials.

Some common misconceptions are that regenerative medicine therapies are risky. There is some risk to procedures when using autologous or your own cells, but studies that are currently running should reduce the safety concerns.

Dr. Pearce echos Facile, warning of bad actors who offer products which have no regenerative capacity.

He says theres also a misconception associated with these therapies because theyre not approved by the FDA. However, Sanford Healths clinical trials have been approved.

What were doing at Sanford, is were taking those components of the body, working with the FDA and saying, its safe to do this. Our early work in a clinical study has demonstrated safety and efficacy with rotator cuff injuries. Were having remarkable results in terms of treating some of these injuries.

Another misconception revolves around stem cells. Both Facile and Dr. Pearce say regenerative medicine has not yet determined if stem cells in your body have the ability to signal other cells for repair.

We hear about embryonic stem cells and fetal stem cells; we dont do anything with that. First of all, its not very ethical. Secondly, theres no science to show that they can have regenerative capabilities, said Dr. Pearce.

Dr. Pearce says regenerative medicine can be used to heal nagging injuries, whether its for athletes or not.

Right now were taking cells from around the fat of your abdomen region, which is rich in a type of stem cell called adipose derived regenerative cells, and were relocating them to help heal rotator cuff tears, help to heal osteoarthritis in the knee, elbow, wrist, ankle, and hip, he said.

Dr. Pearce says theyre doing this research, under the auspices of what we call a clinical trial, and where we follow patients to hopefully demonstrate safety and efficacy.

Because of the misconceptions surrounding this form of medicine, we have to do this right, because its not a regulated industry just yet. The food and drug administration oversees what were doing with respect to that.

We know that we can help heal damaged heart cells. We know we can help healing cells that have been damaged by a stroke. Were already taking the next step in working on those protocols where we can do some trials and look to see if we can heal other injuries in the body. These cells have the ability to heal anything in the body, if directed in the right way, said Dr. Pearce.

Dr. Pearce says Sanford Health is the first health system in the nation to get approval for the use of regenerative medicine in treating orthopedic injuries.

Were hoping to be a leader not just in the Midwest, were hoping to be a leader nationally, where we can teach other health systems how to administer these treatments by either going there and training people, or us becoming really a hub for that.

As for the future of regenerative medicine, Dr. Pearce says it could have an impact in how quickly athletes recover from injuries.

I think for athletes that return to play, this will have a huge impact in terms of how we can help people turn around. More importantly, as they retire, we know theres a lot of grinding and wear and tear on their bodies. Well be able to manage that much more appropriately, said Dr. Pearce.

This form of medicine can also help non-athletes manage any nagging aches and pains.

For those whove got some aches and pains here and there, well be able to use this to really alleviate some of the pain and aches we have, and manage that much better.

Regenerative medicine, the application of treatments developed to replace tissues damaged by injury or disease. These treatments may involve the use of biochemical techniques to induce tissue regeneration directly at the site of damage or the use of transplantation techniques employing differentiated cells or stem cells, either alone or as part of a bioartificial tissue. Bioartificial tissues are made by seeding cells onto natural or biomimetic scaffolds (see tissue engineering). Natural scaffolds are the total extracellular matrixes (ECMs) of decellularized tissues or organs. In contrast, biomimetic scaffolds may be composed of natural materials, such as collagen or proteoglycans (proteins with long chains of carbohydrate), or built from artificial materials, such as metals, ceramics, or polyester polymers. Cells used for transplants and bioartificial tissues are almost always autogeneic (self) to avoid rejection by the patients immune system. The use of allogeneic (nonself) cells carries a high risk of immune rejection and therefore requires tissue matching between donor and recipient and involves the administration of immunosuppressive drugs.

A scientist conducting research on stem cells.

A variety of autogeneic and allogeneic cell and bioartificial tissue transplantations have been performed. Examples of autogeneic transplants using differentiated cells include blood transfusion with frozen stores of the patients own blood and repair of the articular cartilage of the knee with the patients own articular chondrocytes (cartilage cells) that have been expanded in vitro (amplified in number using cell culture techniques in a laboratory). An example of a tissue that has been generated for autogeneic transplant is the human mandible (lower jaw). Functional bioartificial mandibles are made by seeding autogeneic bone marrow cells onto a titanium mesh scaffold loaded with bovine bone matrix, a type of extracellular matrix that has proved valuable in regenerative medicine for its ability to promote cell adhesion and proliferation in transplantable bone tissues. Functional bioartificial bladders also have been successfully implanted into patients. Bioartificial bladders are made by seeding a biodegradable polyester scaffold with autogeneic urinary epithelial cells and smooth muscle cells.

Another example of a tissue used successfully in an autogeneic transplant is a bioartificial bronchus, which was generated to replace damaged tissue in a patient affected by tuberculosis. The bioartificial bronchus was constructed from an ECM scaffold of a section of bronchial tissue taken from a donor cadaver. Differentiated epithelial cells isolated from the patient and chondrocytes derived from mesenchymal stem cells collected from the patients bone marrow were seeded onto the scaffold.

There are few clinical examples of allogeneic cell and bioartificial tissue transplants. The two most common allogeneic transplants are blood-group-matched blood transfusion and bone marrow transplant. Allogeneic bone marrow transplants are often performed following high-dose chemotherapy, which is used to destroy all the cells in the hematopoietic system in order to ensure that all cancer-causing cells are killed. (The hematopoietic system is contained within the bone marrow and is responsible for generating all the cells of the blood and immune system.) This type of bone marrow transplant is associated with a high risk of graft-versus-host disease, in which the donor marrow cells attack the recipients tissues. Another type of allogeneic transplant involves the islets of Langerhans, which contain the insulin-producing cells of the body. This type of tissue can be transplanted from cadavers to patients with diabetes mellitus, but recipients require immunosuppression therapy to survive.

Cell transplant experiments with paralyzed mice, pigs, and nonhuman primates demonstrated that Schwann cells (the myelin-producing cells that insulate nerve axons) injected into acutely injured spinal cord tissue could restore about 70 percent of the tissues functional capacity, thereby partially reversing paralysis.

Studies on experimental animals are aimed at understanding ways in which autogeneic or allogeneic adult stem cells can be used to regenerate damaged cardiovascular, neural, and musculoskeletal tissues in humans. Among adult stem cells that have shown promise in this area are satellite cells, which occur in skeletal muscle fibres in animals and humans. When injected into mice affected by dystrophy, a condition characterized by the progressive degeneration of muscle tissue, satellite cells stimulate the regeneration of normal muscle fibres. Ulcerative colitis in mice was treated successfully with intestinal organoids (organlike tissues) derived from adult stem cells of the large intestine. When introduced into the colon, the organoids attached to damaged tissue and generated a normal-appearing intestinal lining.

In many cases, however, adult stem cells such as satellite cells have not been easily harvested from their native tissues, and they have been difficult to culture in the laboratory. In contrast, embryonic stem cells (ESCs) can be harvested once and cultured indefinitely. Moreover, ESCs are pluripotent, meaning that they can be directed to differentiate into any cell type, which makes them an ideal cell source for regenerative medicine.

Studies of animal ESC derivatives have demonstrated that these cells are capable of regenerating tissues of the central nervous system, heart, skeletal muscle, and pancreas. Derivatives of human ESCs used in animal models have produced similar results. For example, cardiac stem cells from heart-failure patients were engineered to express a protein (Pim-1) that promotes cell survival and proliferation. When these cells were injected into mice that had experienced myocardial infarction (heart attack), the cells were found to enhance the repair of injured heart muscle tissue. Likewise, heart muscle cells (cardiomyocytes) derived from human ESCs improved the function of injured heart muscle tissue in guinea pigs.

Derivatives of human ESCs are likely to produce similar results in humans, although these cells have not been used clinically and could be subject to immune rejection by recipients. The question of immune rejection was bypassed by the discovery in 2007 that adult somatic cells (e.g., skin and liver cells) can be converted to ESCs. This is accomplished by transfecting (infecting) the adult cells with viral vectors carrying genes that encode transcription factor proteins capable of reprogramming the adult cells into pluripotent stem cells. Examples of these factors include Oct-4 (octamer 4), Sox-2 (sex-determining region Y box 2), Klf-4 (Kruppel-like factor 4), and Nanog. Reprogrammed adult cells, known as induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells, are potential autogeneic sources for cell transplantation and bioartificial tissue construction. Such cells have since been created from the skin cells of patients suffering from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and Alzheimer disease and have been used as human models for the exploration of disease mechanisms and the screening of potential new drugs. In one such model, neurons derived from human iPS cells were shown to promote recovery of stroke-damaged brain tissue in mice and rats, and, in another, cardiomyocytes derived from human iPS cells successfully integrated into damaged heart tissue following their injection into rat hearts. These successes indicated that iPS cells could serve as a cell source for tissue regeneration or bioartificial tissue construction.

Stem Cell Medical Research to Expand in California Following Passage of Prop. 14 – Times of San Diego

Saturday, November 28th, 2020

Californias stem cell research agency was supposed to be winding down its operations right about now, after a 16-year run and hundreds of millions in grants to scientists researching cutting-edge treatments for diabetes, cancer, Alzheimers and other diseases.

Support Times of San Diego's growthwith a small monthly contribution

Instead, the taxpayer-supported California Institute for Regenerative Medicine will get a $5.5 billion reboot after voters earlier this month narrowly passed the Proposition 14bond measure. The overall cost of the bonds with interest will total about $7.8 billion.

Were thrilled that California voters saw fit to continue the work weve done, said Jonathan Thomas, chair of the agencys governing board. California has always had a frontier mentality and a love for the cutting edge, and the work that CIRM has done has put it on the very forefront of regenerative medicine.

Even with Californias economy in a coronavirus-induced tailspin and somescientists arguingthat stem cell research no longer needs taxpayer support,Prop. 14passed with 51 percent of the vote after well-financed supporters pourednearly $21 millioninto the Yes on 14 campaign. The measure was essentially a rerun of Proposition 71, which California voters approved in 2004 after a since-revoked federal ban on embryonic stem cell research.

The cash infusion is expected to keep the institute running for another 10 to 15 years, although the agency will see some significant changes under Prop. 14.

The institute also must contend with longstanding concerns over conflicts of interest that have dogged it since its inception, observers say. About 80% of the money distributed has gone to universities and companies tied to agency board members, according to an analysisby longtime agency watchdog David Jensen, a former Sacramento Bee journalist who runs theCalifornia Stem Cell Reportblog and wrote abookon the institute.

Prop. 14 allows the agency to fund a wider array of research projects even some that dont involve stem cells, but instead are related to genetics, personalized medicine and aging.

Thats necessary because the field has evolved, said Paul Knoepfler, a UC Davis professor of cell biology who studies the role of stem cells in cancer and writes a stem cell blog. He received a 2009 grant from the institute.

Stem cells are interesting and important, but there are going to be a lot of new therapies in the next 10 years that are not stem-cell centric, Knoepfler said.

Other changes for the agency include:

Ysabel Duron, who joined the institutes board late last year, said she sees her role as promoting equity in opportunities for both researchers and patients and ensuring that treatments resulting from the research can benefit all Californians.

Researchers in particular need to boost the diversity of patients in their clinical trials and do a better job communicating the value of their work to the public, Duron said, noting that nearly 40% of Californians are Latino.

We need to keep researchers feet to the fire, said Duron, a former television journalist and founder of the Latino Cancer Institute. They need to show us a plan and we need to reward them.

To date, the agency has funded 64 clinical trials of treatments for many types of cancer, sickle cell disease, spinal cord injuries, diabetes, kidney disease and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, commonlyknown as Lou Gehrigs disease.But the most advanced trials involve therapies for relatively rare conditions, such asSevere Combined Immunodeficiency known as the bubble baby disease, Jensen noted. That therapy is being reviewed by the FDA but has not yet been approved.

Cancer, heart disease these are the big killers. Thats what most people are interested in, Jensen said. You can fund something for a rare disease, but that doesnt affect the majority of Californians.

And, Jensen asks, what will happen after the agency runs out of money again? Will taxpayers once again be asked to refill its coffers? There was hope when the agency began that revenues from successful treatments would sustain its grant-making in the years to come, but the institute has only received a few hundred thousand dollars, not nearly enough to become self-sustaining without taxpayer support, according to theLegislative Analysts Office.

The sustainability issue is important and its hard to address, Jensen said. The money doesnt last forever.

Scientists Reveal a New Drug That Directs Stem Cells To Desired Sites – Science Times

Saturday, November 28th, 2020

Researchers at Stanford Burnham Prebys Medical Discovery Institute recently developed a drug that can lure stem cells to impaired tissue and enhance the efficacy of treatment.

This is considered a "scientific first," not to mention a major advance for the field of regenerative drugs. Such a discovery, which theProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences or PNASpublished could enhance the present stem cell treatments developed to cure such neurological disorders like stroke, spinal cord injury, ALS or other amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, as well as other neurodegenerative diseases -- and have their use expanded to new conditions such as arthritis or heart disease.

In the study, toxic or green cells disappeared when mice with a neurodegenerative condition were given both therapeutic or red cells and the drug SDV1a, which matched with delayed onset of symptoms and longer lives.

(Photo : Stem Cell Research via Getty Images)In this undated handout photo released by the Institute for Stem Cell Research in 2005, neurons (red) and astrocytes (green), which can be made from neural stem cells, are seen.

Results Suggesting Efficacy of the Drug

The study results proposed that SDV1a can be used to enhance the stem cell treatments' efficacy. According to Evan Snyder, MD, PhD, theCenter for Stem Cells & Regenerative Medicine at Stanford Burnham Prebysprofessor and director, "the ability to instruct a stem cell where to go in the body, or to a particular region of a given organ is the 'Holy Grail' for regenerative medicine.

Snyder, who's also the senior author of the study, added, now, for the first time, stem cells can be directed to a desired area and focus its therapeutic effect.

Almost a decade-and-a-half back, the senior author, together with his team, found that stem cells are drawn to infection, a biological 'fire alarm' indicating that damage has taken place.

Nevertheless, using inflammation as a healing appeal is not possible since an inflammation environment can be dangerous to the body. Hence, researchers have been searching for mechanisms to help in the migration of stem cells or 'home' to the body's desired areas.

Such a mechanism or tool, according to reports on this new finding, would be a great contributor for disorders in which preliminary inflammatory indicators disappear over time, like chronic spinal cord injury or stroke, and conditions where the inflammation's role is not clearly understood, like heart disease, for one.

Fortunately, after decades of investing in stem cell science, scientists are now making "tremendous progress," saidCalifornia Institute for Regenerative Medicine or CIRMpresident and CEO Maria Millan, MD said, in their understanding of the manner such cells work and the manner they can be attached to help reverse disease or an injury.

The CIRM partially funded this new study. Millan also said, Snyder's group has identified a medicine that could enhance "the ability of neural stem cells to home to sites of injury and initiate repair."

More so, the president and CEO also explained, the drug candidate could help fast-track the stem cell treatments' development, specifically for conditions including Alzheimer's disease and spinal cord injury.

In the research, study investigators modified an inflammatory molecule called CXCL12, which the Snyder's group discovered previously, could guide healing stem cells to areas that need repair to develop the SDV1a.

As such, this new medicine works by improving stem cell binding and minimizing inflammatory indicating and can be injected anywhere to attract stem cells to a particular site without causing any inflammation.

Since such inflammation can be dangerous, Snyder explained, they modified CXL12 by "tripping away the risky beat and maximizing the good bit."

Now, he added, they have a drug, drawing stem cells to an area of pathology, but not creating or worsening the unwanted infection.

"Now, we have a drug that draws stem cells to a region of pathology, but without creating or worsening unwanted inflammation."

Furthermore, to present that the new medication can improve the effectiveness of stem cell therapy, the scientists implanted SDV1a and human neural stem cells into the brains of mice thatSandhoff disease, a neurodegenerative disease.

The scientists have already started testing the ability of SDV1a to enhance stem cell therapy in a mouse model of Lou Gehrig's disease, also known as ALS, which results from progressive loss of motor neurons in the brain.

Snyder said they are optimistic that the mechanism of action of this new drug may potentially benefit various neurodegenerative disorders and non-neurological conditions like arthritis, heart disease, and even brain cancer.

Interestingly, he also explained, since CXL12 and its receptor is said to be implicated in cytokine storm that exemplifies severeCOVID-19, some of their understandings of how to constrain infection without controlling other normal procedures selectively may be helpful in that field, as well.
