Breakthrough in purification of fossil pollen for dating of sediments by a new large-particle on-chip sorter – Science Advances

Saturday, April 17th, 2021

Particle sorting is a fundamental method in various fields of medical and biological research. However, existing sorting applications are not capable for high-throughput sorting of large-size (>100 micrometers) particles. Here, we present a novel on-chip sorting method using traveling vortices generated by on-demand microjet flows, which locally exceed laminar flow condition, allowing for high-throughput sorting (5 kilohertz) with a record-wide sorting area of 520 micrometers. Using an activation system based on fluorescence detection, the method successfully sorted 160-micrometer microbeads and purified fossil pollen (maximum dimension around 170 micrometers) from lake sediments. Radiocarbon dates of sorting-derived fossil pollen concentrates proved accurate, demonstrating the methods ability to enhance building chronologies for paleoenvironmental records from sedimentary archives. The method is capable to cover urgent needs for high-throughput large-particle sorting in genomics, metabolomics, and regenerative medicine and opens up new opportunities for the use of pollen and other microfossils in geochronology, paleoecology, and paleoclimatology.

Infusion Improves Immune Response of Aging Frailty Following Flu Shot – PrecisionVaccinations

Saturday, April 17th, 2021

(Precision Vaccinations)

Florida-based Longeveron Inc. announced the completion of the Companys Phase I/II clinical study of the use of Lomecel-B to improve immune response to influenza vaccine in subjects with Aging Frailty.

Longeveron stated in a press release issued on April 15, 2021, 'it is anticipated that the top-line trial results will be announced in the 3rdquarter of 2021.'

Lomecel-B is an allogeneic, bone marrow-derived medicinal signaling cellproduct manufactured under current good manufacturing practicesby Longeveron.

The company says 'Lomecel-B has the potential to reduce inflammation associated with Aging Frailty and to promote an anti-inflammatory state by releasing anti-inflammatory molecules, which can balance the immune system and improve the function of B lymphocytes.

As B cells are responsible for antibody production in response to vaccines, Lomecel-B may boost antibody generation and immunity following vaccination in subjects with Aging Frailty.'

Completion of this clinical study to investigate Lomecel-B as a new therapeutic approach to boost immune response serves as an important initial step to meet the critical unmet medical need for those with Aging Frailty, who often respond poorly to vaccines, said Sean Leng, MD, Ph.D., Professor of Medicine, Molecular Microbiology and Immunology at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and Bloomberg School of Public Health and the studys principal investigator.

Aging Frailty is a life-threatening geriatric condition affecting approximately 15% of Americans over 65 or 8.1 million individuals. Aging Frailty patients are vulnerable to poor clinical outcomes compared to their age-matched peers despite sharing similar comorbidities and demographics. Therefore it is considered by some as an extreme form of unsuccessful aging.

Geoff Green, CEO of Longeveron. From the inception of Longeveron, we have focused our efforts on using a regenerative medicine approach to treat chronic, aging-related diseases and conditions, such as frailty and Alzheimers disease, with the goal of improving healthspan.

Miami-basedLongeveron is a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing cellular therapies for specific aging-related and life-threatening conditions.

Senti Biosciences in $645M Spark pact to drive gene circuits into the fast lane – FierceBiotech

Saturday, April 17th, 2021

Roches gene therapy unit Spark Therapeutics has penned a $645 million-plus biobucks pact with Bayer-backed Senti Biosciences for new tech aimed at tweaking next-gen gene therapies.

Under the deal, Spark will maneuver Senti Bios gene circuit tech to drive the development of gene therapy 2.0. specifically directed toward specific cell types in the central nervous system, eye or liver.

Fierce 15 winner Senti Bios approach involves what it calls gene circuits, essentially tweaking a cells genetic code which can morph in order to address the severity of a disease, all the while limiting side effects.

Internally, the Californian biotech is applying its gene circuit tech specifically toward allogeneic chimeric antigen receptor natural killer cells, a growing area of interest in oncology.

Senti Bios lead assets out of this platform include SENTI-202 for acute myeloid leukemia, SENTI-301 for hepatocellular carcinoma and others for undisclosed solid tumor targets.

And its not just cancer: Senti Bio believes its on to something big, and it says it can also target a whole host of other areas and gene therapy delivery modalities such as immunology, neuroscience, cardiovascular disease, regenerative medicine and genetic diseases.

At the start of the year, it got off a major $105 million series B funding round, building on the initial $53 million it got off three years back. It also has the backing of some big names, with Leaps by Bayer and Amgens VC arm as well as Matrix Partners China, Mirae Asset Capital, Ridgeback Capital, Intel Capital, New Enterprise Associates, 8VC and Lux Capital all pitching in for its latest cash haul.

RELATED: Spark Therapeutics nabs CMO from new owner Roche

Now, it has a major pact with Spark/Roche that will see the biotech nab an undisclosed upfront payment and a mixture of biobucks, all of which could see Senti Bio bring home $645 million-plus.

For its part, Senti will be responsible for designing, building and testing cell type- and disease specific-synthetic promoters for use in certain CNS-, ocular- or liver-directed gene therapies.

Spark, meanwhile, holds an option to exclusively license a defined number of synthetic promoters emerging from the collab for use in developing gene therapy products in specified indications.

Should it hit go on that option, Spark will be responsible for conducting preclinical, clinical and sales work for any gene therapies that use Senti Bios licensed synthetic promoters.

We view gene circuits as a critical component of any advanced cell and gene therapy, regardless of therapeutic area or delivery modality, said Tim Lu, M.D., Ph.D., CEO of Senti Bio.

This collaboration with Spark Therapeutics aligns with our goal of enabling truly dynamic therapies that have the ability to discriminate between certain cell types, selectively express various payloads, and respond to diverse disease environments.

We are extremely impressed by the capabilities and know-how of Spark Therapeutics specifically in the area of gene therapy, and we look forward to bringing our mutual expertise together under this collaboration to harness the power of gene circuits to develop gene therapies that are clinically meaningful to patients.

Regenerative medicine is already changing the way drugs are discovered and tested – MedCity News

Sunday, April 4th, 2021

Anthony Atala receives an award for his innovations in 3D printing to create human organs at the Smithsonian Magazines 2016 American Ingenuity Awards after at National Portrait Gallery on December 8, 2016 in Washington, DC. Photo credit: Leah Puttkammer, Getty Images

Regenerating a solid organ for transplant might be years away from reaching patients. But regenerative medicine technology as a tool for discovering and testing new drugs? Thats already happening.

In Winston-Salem, North Carolina, scientists are 3D printing miniature organs that replicate the anatomy and function of a heart, liver, lungs, even the brain, said Anthony Atala, a professor of urology at Wake Forest University. Their lifetimes last just months, but thats more than enough time to assess a drug in ways that lab tests or even animal tests cannot.

After tens of millions of dollars of investment, by the time a drug gets into a Phase 1 clinical trial through the FDA, 90% of those drugs end up failing, Atala said, speaking on March 24 during the Oracle Health Sciences Connect 2021 conference. Its due to the testing that is not really accurate. Therefore, the strategy is to create these miniature organs.

Atala is the director of the Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine (WFIRM), which is conducting research on about 40 different tissues and organs. So far, the institute has launched 15 technologies that use human cells to engineer tissues and organs.

The drug testing happens on organoids, an invitro system that stands in for an organ. These miniature organs can be made in both healthy and diseased states, Atala said. These chips can create the human equivalent of physiological responses. For example, scientists can prompt a heart attack or a stroke to assess what a drug would do to an organ affected by those conditions.

WFIRMs drug discovery research represents a convergence of technologies. This body-on-a-chip technology is used to screen libraries of compounds for both safety and efficacy ahead of animal studies and clinical trials, Atala said. Data are cataloged at every step of the process. Artificial intelligence can then be applied to find patterns in the data, improving predictive modeling for drug development.

The Wake Forest research is being conducted as part of the Humanoid Sensor Consortium, a partnership comprised of pharmaceutical companies, academic institutions, and government agencies. The WFIRMs own drug discovery collaborators include the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA), which has provided $25 million for research into potential countermeasures to chemical agents. The Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) has provided more than $26 million in funding for the development of countermeasures for nerve agents.

The technologies that are closest to helping patients are part of a new approach to personalized medicine. The miniature organs are used to help oncologists make treatment decisions. A patients own tissue is used create tumors on a chip, which is then used to test different chemotherapies. These chips are currently being evaluated in clinical trials.

Instead of trying out a treatment for six months and finding out it doesnt work, and then trying another regimen, by then the tumor might be too far gone, Atala said. We can now try to define what the best treatment is before the patient receives the first dose.

Regenerated organs are on the way, Atala said. Engineered skin products are entering the market. The next regenerative tissue products will be a bit more complex, taking on tubular structures. WFIRM has regenerated urethras by taking a small tissue sample from a patient and expanding those cells in a lab. Those cells populate a bioresorbable scaffold, which can then be implanted in the patient.

Solid organs pose the biggest challenge for regenerative medicine. These organs are comprised of many more cells that must be nourished by blood supply. WFIRMs research includes kidneys. A small tissue sample from a patient is expanded in a lab, yielding kidney units capable of producing urine. These kidney units can then be implanted in the patient. Atala said that this research is advancing to Phase 3 testing for patients in end-stage renal failure.

When WFIRM started in 2004, the scientists did not begin the research with an eye on which patients could be helped most by regenerative medicine technology, Atala said. But now, it seems the greatest area of need appears to be kidney transplant patients.

As you know, 80% of patients on the transplant wait list are actually waiting for a kidney, Atala said. So, if we can make a dent in that population, that would be a great thing.

The Governments Watchful Eye on Fraud Stemming from Stem Cell Therapy – JD Supra

Sunday, April 4th, 2021

Stem cell therapy, also known as regenerative medicine, has been around for decades, but in recent years, the use of and interest in stem cell therapy has increased exponentially. The dramatic utilization of stem cell therapy, and the increasing government spend related to these novel techniques, have now caught the eye of federal regulators and prosecutors. In this client alert, we profile some brief context of stem cell therapy, the governments regulations governing these techniques, and some of the best practices for those interested in this emerging space.

Stem cells are cells from which all other cells with specialized functions are generated (i.e., the bodys raw materials). Stem cells may duplicate themselves to create more stem cells or they may generate cells with a specific function like blood or brain cells.

Stem cell therapy is used to repair or replace damaged tissue or cells within the body. Many in the medical community are hopeful that stem cell therapy can be used to treat a wide array of conditions and diseases from multiple sclerosis to vision loss to traumatic spinal cord injuries to Lou Gehrigs disease just to name a few.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) oversees and regulates stem cell therapy treatments. While the FDA has acknowledged that stem cell therapy has the potential to treat diseases or conditions for which few treatments exist, there are still only a few treatments that have actually been approved by the FDA. Many treatments are still only in early investigatory stages.

The FDA has recognized the massive potential that stem cell therapy has in allowing patients treatments for various conditions. Consequently, in 2017, the FDA issued guidance indicating its intent to exercise enforcement discretion as a means to support and expedite the development of regenerative medicine products. This enforcement discretion period was to allow innovators time to determine whether to submit an Investigational New Drug (IND) or marketing application and, if such an application is needed, to prepare and submit the application as appropriate. The FDA, however, has made clear its enforcement discretion policy only applies to products that do not raise potential significant safety concerns. What the FDA considers significant is debatable, creating uncertainty and ambiguity for those who might be relying on the FDAs enforcement discretion period.

Initially, the FDA stated that its enforcement discretion period would last through November 2020. But in July 2020, the FDA extended its enforcement discretion period through May 2021 a fast-arriving date. It remains unclear whether the FDA intends to extend the time period of its enforcement discretion any further, but either way, stem cell therapy providers would be well-served by planning for and expecting enforcement efforts to ramp up in the near future.

In 2019, the FDA went to great lengths to warn consumers of the potential fraud that may arise from what it called stem cell therapy hype, and encouraged consumers to make sure any stem cell therapy treatments were either approved or being studied as an IND. The FDAs concerns have led to multiple enforcement actions, including one just last month. On February 1, 2021, for example, the government announced the indictment of Ashton Derges, a healthcare provider in Missouri, who marketed stem cell shots as a successful treatment for various conditions, including COVID-19. According to the indictment, Derges was paid nearly $200,000 by patients for the stem cell shots, none of which actually contained stem cells at all. While this alleged fraud was not particularly sophisticated, it nonetheless marked a significant development: the governments first criminal prosecution of those touting stem cell therapies.

But blatant fraud is not the only type of stem cell therapy case the government has expressed interest in investigating. A primary concern of the government is the marketing and use of unproven stem cell treatments as miracle cures. A good case study of the risks associated with aggressive marketing of stem cell therapy is a case out of Florida involving US Stem Cell Clinic Inc. The clinic was marketing stem cell therapy to treat conditions and diseases such as Parkinsons disease, stroke, and brain injuries none of which were approved by the FDA. And, much of the marketing that US Stem Cell Clinic used promised almost miraculous results. As a result, last year, the FDA successfully permanently enjoined the US Stem Cell Clinic from selling or providing those stem cell therapy treatments. Notably, this case was pursued by the FDA despite the FDA explicitly stating its intent to be lenient with emerging stem cell therapy treatments.

Stem cell therapy is a groundbreaking medical tool with great possibilities to treat a plethora of diseases and conditions. As the industry continues to expand, so will the governments interest. Our firm continues to see an uptick in cases involving stem cell therapy treatments. And we have successfully assisted clients in avoiding unnecessary scrutiny by the FDA and other government regulators.

If you are in the stem cell therapy industry or are considering offering stem cell therapy treatments, we recommend that you:

Global Automated and Closed Cell Therapy Processing Systems Market Trends and Forecasts, 2020-2030: Cell Processing Steps, Scale of Operations, End…

Sunday, April 4th, 2021

Dublin, April 01, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Automated and Closed Cell Therapy Processing Systems Market By Cell Processing Steps, Scale of Operations, End Users and Geographical Regions: Industry Trends and Global Forecasts, 2020 - 2030" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The "Automated and Closed Cell Therapy Processing Systems Market: Focus on Apheresis, Expansion, Harvest, Fill/Finish, Cryopreservation, Thawing, 2020-2030" report features an extensive study of the current market landscape and future opportunities associated with the automated and closed cell therapy processing systems. The study also features a detailed analysis of key drivers and trends related to this evolving domain.

One of the key objectives of the report was to estimate the existing market size and the future growth potential of the automated and closed cell therapy processing systems. Based on various parameters, such as number of cell therapies under development, expected pricing, likely adoption rates, and potential cost saving opportunities from different automated and closed cell processing systems, we have developed informed estimates of the evolution of the market, over the period 2020-2030.

Advanced therapy medicinal products (ATMPs), such as cell therapies and gene therapies, have revolutionized the healthcare sector. Over the past two decades, more than 30 ATMPs have been approved. Moreover, according to a recent report (published by The Alliance for Regenerative Medicine), over 1,050 clinical trials are currently being conducted by over 1,000 companies, worldwide, focused on the evaluation of cell and gene therapies.

However, despite the numerous advances in this field, there are certain challenges that need to be addressed in order to achieve commercial success. For instance, the current cell therapy manufacturing process is labor-intensive, time consuming and costly. Further, the production of most of these specialized therapeutic products requires manual labor and are typically carried out discretely (open processing), thereby, rendering the processes difficult to scale-up, with high risk of contamination.

Another concern faced by cell and gene therapy manufacturers is batch-to-batch variability, given that even a minor change in the production protocol can affect the quality of the resulting product. Consequently, cell therapies are exorbitantly priced, ranging from USD 300,000 to USD 500,000 per dose.

Experts believe that some of the existing challenges related to cell therapy manufacturing can be addressed through the adoption of automated and closed cell processing systems. These solutions have been demonstrated to be capable of enabling stakeholders to manage various aspects of the cell therapy manufacturing process efficiently, while complying to global regulatory standards. Other benefits of such systems include reduced risk of contamination, optimum utilization of facility and resources, limited in-process variation and consistent product quality.

Positive Results From Stem Cell Trial for Knee Osteoarthritis – Pain News Network

Sunday, April 4th, 2021

By Pat Anson, PNN Editor

A California stem cell company has announced positive results from a small, early-stage clinical trial of an experimental stem cell therapy for knee osteoarthritis.

The Phase 1/2a trial conducted by Personalized Stem Cells (PSC) involved 39 patients with knee osteoarthritis who were given a single injection of autologous mesenchymal stem cells derived from their own body fat. Safety was the primary objective of the trial and there were no serious adverse events reported by the company.

The secondary objective of the trial was to assess the effectiveness of the therapy with the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS), a survey that asks patients about their pain, other symptoms, daily function, quality of life, and recreational activities. Nearly 80% of study participants improved above the minimal important change (MIC), with an average improvement over baseline of 2.2 times the MIC.

Osteoarthritis is a progressive joint disorder caused by painful inflammation of soft tissue, which leads to thinning of cartilage and joint damage in the knees, hips, fingers and spine.

Results from the PSC study have been submitted to the FDA for review. The company hopes to get approval for a larger, Phase 2 randomized study of its stem cell therapy later this year.

We are pleased at the strong safety profile and efficacy results in this FDA-approved clinical study of stem cell therapy for knee osteoarthritis, said PSC founder and CEO, Dr. Bob Harman. We are proud to have reached this milestone in our first FDA approved clinical trial. This data supports our progress in the larger placebo-controlled clinical study.

While the FDA has approved hundreds of clinical trials of stem cells, it has not approved a single stem cell product as a treatment for arthritis or any orthopedic condition. That hasnt stopped stem cell clinics from offering regenerative medicine to patients or veterinarians from using it on animals.

VetStem Biopharma, the parent company of PSC, pioneered the use of adipose derived stem cells in veterinary medicine. Its laboratory has processed stem cells for nearly 14,000 dogs, cats, horses and other animals for use by veterinarians in the U.S. and Canada.

The 15 years of veterinary experience with adipose derived stem cell therapy of our parent company, VetStem Biopharma, provided the basis for our FDA study submission and approval and provided valuable insights into the study design and conduct, said Harman.

In addition to the Phase 2 trial for osteoarthritis, PSC plans to pursue FDA approval for a stem cell trial to treat traumatic brain injuries in humans. A clinical study using PSCs stem cell platform to treat respiratory distress syndrome in COVID-19 patients is currently underway.

$2.5M award to fund joint organoid research program at Wake to treat aggressive cancers – Newswise

Sunday, April 4th, 2021

Newswise WINSTON-SALEM, NC - March 30, 2021 - Personalized medicine research for aggressive abdominal cancers at Wake Forest Baptist Health received a boost from a $2.5 million grant from the National Cancer Institute that supports research efforts at Wake Forest Organoid Research Center (WFORCE), a joint effort between the Wake Forest Baptist Comprehensive Cancer Center and the Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine (WFIRM) to tailor personalized therapy for patients.

The funding supports development of a new drug testing platform to predict treatment outcomes for patients. The platform leverages tissue bioengineering advances and genomic technologies to reconstruct and grow patient-derived tumor organoids (i.e., fragments of a patients cancer) in the presence of different drugs to predict clinical responses of patients and guide treatment selection.

Creation of an organoid begins with a tissue biopsy of the tumor. Cells from this biopsy are then used to grow small tumors called organoids in the lab which behave similarly to the original tumor. The organoid model can accurately represent what occurs inside a patients body. Lastly, the best chemotherapy treatment is chosen by exposing the organoids to the various potential treatments and observing their response.

Konstantinos Votanopoulos, M.D., Ph.D., professor of surgery and director of WFORCE, and Lance D. Miller, Ph.D., associate professor in cancer biology, are the principal investigators of the grant, with Shay Soker, Ph.D., chief science officer and WFIRM professor, as a co-investigator.

WFORCE, which brings together researchers and clinicians to leverage the use of tissue organoid technology to tailor personalized therapy for patients, was formed in early 2020. To be awarded a competitive R01 grant of this size speaks to the need and transformational potential of WFORCE which combines world class multi-disciplinary clinical trial and patient care expertise through the NCI-designated Wake Forest Baptist Comprehensive Cancer Center and ground-breaking innovation and technology through WFIRM.

Every time cancer cells multiply, they generate the next generation of cancer cells with new properties, Votanopoulos said. As the cancer progresses, the patient ends up with not just a single tumor, but many different tumor clones with variable biologic behavior and response to treatment. Accurate mapping of tumor clonality, combined with response of each clone to therapy is the key for the development of personalized treatment strategies tailored to each patient separately.

Specifically, the research will look at determining clonality-based treatment response of high prevalence cancers such as colon, as well as very rare cancers with incidence less than 1 per 100,000 patients, such as appendiceal, that have spread throughout the abdomen where they grow as metastatic lesions on the surfaces of different organs.

How patients respond to treatment varies widely, and this represents a major clinical challenge our grant seeks to address, Miller said. This genetic variation that occurs when the cancer cells multiply is believed to explain why most, but not all of a patients cancer can initially respond well to chemotherapy, but eventually return in a drug-resistant form.

Soker said the project will generate new knowledge of how certain mutations, alone or in combination, impact response to specific drugs, adding that results of these studies will be leveraged in a future clinical trial.

Other key personnel on the grant are surgeon Edward A Levine, MD, pathologist Stacey ONeill, MD, tumor immunologist David Soto-Pantoja, MD,and bioinformatics expert Guangxu Jin, MD.

About the Comprehensive Cancer Center: The center is designated by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) as acomprehensive cancer center, one of three in North Carolina, and one of 51 in the country and has held this designation continuously since 1990. The designation recognizes Wake Forest for the highest levels of expertise and a commitment to patient care, cancer research, including clinical trials, and education. The rapid pace of discovery and the early availability of many new cancer treatments at NCI-designated Comprehensive Cancer Centers, gives us an advantage in offering our cancer patients early access to the latest therapies and treatment options, sometimes even months or years before non-NCI cancer centers.Wake Forest has a team of 120 clinicians representing all aspects of cancer care including those in the fields ofhematology and oncology,gynecologic oncology,radiation oncology,surgical oncologyandcolon and rectal surgery.

About the Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine:The Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine is recognized as an international leader in translating scientific discovery into clinical therapies, with many world firsts, including the development and implantation of the first engineered organ in a patient. Over 400 people at the institute, the largest in the world, work on more than 40 different tissues and organs. A number of the basic principles of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine were first developed at the institute. WFIRM researchers have successfully engineered replacement tissues and organs in all four categories flat structures, tubular tissues, hollow organs and solid organs and 15 different applications of cell/tissue therapy technologies, such as skin, urethras, cartilage, bladders, muscle, kidney, and vaginal organs, have been successfully used in human patients. The institute, which is part of Wake Forest School of Medicine,is located in theInnovation Quarterin downtown Winston-Salem, NC,andis driven by the urgent needs of patients. The institute is making a global difference in regenerative medicine through collaborations with over 400entitiesand institutions worldwide,through its government, academic and industry partnerships, its start-up entities, and through major initiatives in breakthrough technologies, such as tissue engineering, cell therapies, diagnostics, drug discovery, biomanufacturing, nanotechnology, gene editing and 3D printing.

Worldwide Cell Therapy Industry to 2027 – Increasing Prevalence of Chronic Diseases is Driving the Market – PRNewswire

Sunday, April 4th, 2021

DUBLIN, April 1, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The "Cell Therapy Market Forecast to 2027 - COVID-19 Impact and Global Analysis By Therapy Type; Product; Technology; Application; End User, and Geography" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

According to this report the global cell therapy market is expected to reach US$ 12,563.23 million by 2027 from US$ 7,260.50 million in 2019. It is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 7.2% from 2020-2027. The growth of the market is attributed to increasing prevalence of chronic diseases, rising adoption of regenerative medicines, and surging number of approvals for cell-based therapies. However, the high cost of cell therapy manufacturing hinders the growth of the market.

The cell therapy market, based on therapy type, is bifurcated into allogeneic and autologous. In 2019, the allogeneic segment accounted for a larger share owing to the availability of substantial number of approved products for clinical use. For instance, in 2018, Alofisel developed by TiGenix (Takeda) is the first allogeneic stem cell-based therapy approved for use in Europe.

Chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular disorders, neurological disorders, autoimmune disorders, and cancer, are the leading causes of death and disability worldwide. As per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in 2019, nearly 6 in 10 people suffered from at least one chronic disease in the US. Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are a significant cause of mortality owing to the hectic lifestyle. As per the World Health Organization (WHO), CVDs are the number 1 cause of death globally, taking an estimated 17.9 million lives each year. Cancer is among the leading causes of mortality worldwide, and the disease affects a huge population; therefore, it acts as a huge financial burden on society. According to the WHO, in 2018, ~9.6 million deaths occurred due to cancer globally. However, growing research on developing effective treatments for the disease is positively affecting the market growth. Gene therapy and cell therapy are transforming the cancer treatment landscape; for example, Novartis Kymriah is used to treat diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. The launches of more such products would be driving the demand for cell therapy, thus driving the growth of the cell therapy market in the coming years.

The COVID-19 outbreak was first reported in Wuhan (China) in December 2019. The pandemic is causing massive disruptions in supply chains, consumer markets, and economy across the world. As the healthcare sector is focusing on saving lives of COVID-19 patients, the demand for cell therapy is reducing worldwide.

Vericel Corporation; MEDIPOST; NuVasive, Inc.; Mesoblast Limited; JCR Pharmaceuticals Co. Ltd.; Smith & Nephew; Bristol-Myers Squibb Company; Cells for Cells; Stemedica Cell Technologies, Inc; and Castle Creek Biosciences, Inc. are among the companies operating in the cell therapy market.

Translational Regenerative Medicine Market: Immunotherapy is projected to be the fastest growing segment during the forecast period – BioSpace

Sunday, February 14th, 2021

Regenerative medicine is a segment of translational research in molecular biology and tissue engineering. It involves the process of regeneration of human cells, tissues, or organs to re-establish their normal functions through stimulation of bodys repair system. They are widely used in the treatment of many degenerative disorders occurring in the areas of dermatology, orthopedic, cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases. Stem cell therapy is the available tool in the field of translational regenerative medicine. It has gained importance in the past few years as it is a bio-based alternative to synthetic options. Stem cells have high power of regeneration. Hence, these enable production of other cells in the body. This has increased demand for stem cell therapy in the treatment of degenerative diseases. Currently, stem cell therapy has applications in the treatment of diseases such as autism, cancer, retinal diseases, heart failure, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, Alzheimers. Extensive research is being carried out on stem cell therapy. The Centre for Commercialization of Regenerative Medicine (CCRM) has reported around 1900 active clinical trials undergoing currently. It also reported 574 active industry-sponsored cell therapy clinical studies, 50 of these are in phase 3 development. Hence, stem cell therapy is projected to contribute to the growth of the translational regenerative medicine market. However, ethical issues in the use of embryonic stem cells is likely to restrain the market.

Zebrafish reveal regenerative protein that could inspire new treatments for muscle-wasting diseases and aging – FierceBiotech

Sunday, February 14th, 2021

Scientists in the field of regenerative medicine have long been interested in using muscle stem cells to repair injuries, but growing the cells in the lab has proven to be challenging. Now, a team of Australian researchers is suggesting an alternative: a naturally occurring protein that regenerates muscle.

A team from the Australian Regenerative Medicine Institute at Monash University discovered that a protein called NAMPT (nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase) stimulates the growth of muscle stem cells and healing in zebrafish and mice. They published their findings in the journal Nature.

The researchers started by studying the cells that migrated to injury sites in zebrafish. They discovered that a particular group of immune cells called macrophages stimulated the regeneration of muscle stem cells.

Macrophages are known to migrate to injury sites, where some remove debris that appears immediately and others stay for long-term cleaning. But the Australian scientists discovered eight genetically distinct macrophagesonly one of which seemed to be involved in the regeneration of muscle stem cells.

They went on to discover that the macrophages with those regenerative abilities released NAMPT. So they tried removing the macrophages from the fish and then adding NAMPT to the aquarium water. It worked: Muscle stem cells started to grow and promote healing, showing that the protein took over for the missing macrophages, the researchers said.

RELATED: Stem cells don't repair injured hearts, but inflammation might, study finds

Several regenerative medicine research teams are focused on harnessing the healing power of macrophages. Researchers from the Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center, for example, discovered that the inflammatory response to stem-cell injections into the heart activated macrophages, which in turn promoted healing.

The Monash-led research team did further studies with NAMPT, which included placing patches that contained the protein into mouse models of muscle-wasting disease. They observed significant muscle healing and are now in discussions with biotech companies about taking the technique into clinical trials, they said in a statement.

They believe NAMPT-based therapies could prove useful in treating a range of conditions including muscular dystrophy, limb injuries and muscle wasting due to aging.

Bloomberg

(Bloomberg) -- Crown Resorts Ltd. Chief Executive Officer Ken Barton stepped down, bowing to days of pressure after a scathing regulatory report found the Australian casino operator facilitated money laundering and wasnt fit to hold a license in Sydney.Barton will leave immediately, Melbourne-based Crown said in a statement Monday. Helen Coonan will lead the company as executive chairman while the board oversees a search for a new CEO.The report last week by former judge Patricia Bergin was particularly critical of Barton, saying he didnt have the skills for the job. His departure leaves Coonan to find a path out of a crisis that has left Australias largest casino company also facing regulatory pressure at its main operations in Melbourne and Perth.The board is determined to maintain the momentum as Crown takes significant steps to improve our governance, compliance and culture, Coonan said. I will continue to lead on implementation of Crowns ambitious reform program.Crown shares rose 1.1% to A$10.00 in early trading in Sydney, valuing the company at A$6.8 billion ($5.3 billion).After a year-long inquiry for the state gaming watchdog in New South Wales, Bergin recommended an overhaul of Crown before the company could start gaming operations at its new A$2.2 billion Sydney casino. The New South Wales gaming regulator, the Independent Liquor and Gaming Authority, is due to consider the report at a board meeting on Feb. 17.Barton is no match for what is needed at the helm of a casino licensee, Bergin wrote. Barton clung on and as recently as Friday was still assessing his position. He became CEO of Crown in early 2020 after a decade as chief financial officer.Both board nominees of Crowns biggest shareholder, James Packer, left the day after the report was released. Director Andrew Demetriou also resigned last week.Barton disclosed last year during Bergins investigation that Crown hadnt yet analyzed the accounts that were reportedly used by money launderers. He was also unaware for years that a major junket operator had a cash desk at Crowns Melbourne casino, even though the setup posed a money-laundering risk.Packers Casino Dream Dashed as Crown Seen Unfit for LicenseBartons evidence during the inquiry demonstrated a serious lack of judgment, Bergin wrote. His problems will not be cured by the appointment of people expert in the field who report to him, she said.Philip Crawford, chair of the Independent Liquor and Gaming Authority, said Feb. 11 there was a certain obviousness to the notion that Barton should step down.(Adds share price, regulatory pressure on Crown in third paragraph.)For more articles like this, please visit us at bloomberg.comSubscribe now to stay ahead with the most trusted business news source.2021 Bloomberg L.P.
