Updates on Single, Combination Precision Medicine in Targeted Cancer Therapy – AJMC.com Managed Markets Network

Tuesday, May 5th, 2020

In recent years, targeted cancer therapies have increased in use. These individualized treatments are based on the genetic makeup of a patient's disease.

Precision medicine in cancer is characterized by these personalized therapies, and it is tailored to address potential genetic changes in a patients tumor. By directly attacking the tumor, the researchers stress the impact this can have in protecting healthy cells that are also damaged during chemotherapy and radiotherapy, which can lead to severe toxicity in healthy tissues.

The researchers sought to provide an outline of emerging developments in targeted cancer therapy, particularly 2 areas of interest: immune-based therapy and enzyme-/small moleculesbased therapies. They included advancements in cancer targeted therapy, personalized medicine, and cancer combination therapies from research papers published from 2010 to June 2019.

Immune-Based Therapy

As the study authors discuss, immunotherapy-based strategies differ from both chemotherapy and radiotherapy-based treatments. Instead of directly attacking the growth of the cancer, the approach enhances the immune response to the cancer. Several notable innovations have increased the availability of this strategy, including immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), immune cytokines, tumor-targeted superantigens, and ligand targeted therapeutics.

ICIs have served as major advancements in oncology, with several already approved by the FDA. Although their impact in revolutionizing the treatment of cancer has been noted, there have also been reports they could cause serious harm to patients due to their toxicity, with some recipients reporting immune-related adverse events. The researchers highlight that further studies are warranted to gain a detailed understanding of tumors' mechanisms of resistance to checkpoint inhibitors treatment, in order to improve the therapy.

Enzyme-/Small MoleculesBased Therapies

In enzyme-/small moleculesbased therapies, the researchers cited innovations, such as the use of a proteolysis targeting chimera (PROTAC), antibody-drug conjugates, and antibody-directed enzyme prodrug therapy.

The PROTAC strategy has been expanded and utilized in the treatment of many diseases, including ER-positive breast cancer, and to target steroid hormone receptors for ubiquitination and degradation in breast and prostate cancers.

As the researchers note, the approach is inspired by a mechanism in which the cell degrades unwanted proteins and consists of a molecule with 2 independent moieties. Recently, PROTAC was used to degrade the anaplastic lymphoma kinase, which has been associated with several types of human cancer.

The conventional therapeutic paradigm for cancer and other diseases has focused on a single type of intervention for all patients. However, a large literature in oncology supports the therapeutic benefits of a precision medicine approach to therapy as well as combination therapies, said the study authors.

Why Greater Access To Global Data Is Vital To The Fight Against COVID-19 And Future Pandemics – Forbes

Tuesday, May 5th, 2020

As the coronavirus pandemic continues to spread around the globe, the world is facing an unprecedented crisis, carrying enormous financial and social costs unimaginable until recently. But these great difficulties also present opportunities for bold innovators to bypass bureaucracy and leapfrog their competitors, while rolling out revolutionary products at speed and scale. With the right leadership, innovative startups can use downturns to their advantage in the midst of economic crises. This can clearly be seen in Israels unique digital health innovation ecosystem.

The digital health sector is prospering in Israel. With more than 550 innovative companies, technology hubs, R&D centers, incubators, and multinational corporations in this space, the vibrant Israeli digital health ecosystem has more than doubled in size from 2011 to 2019. Now, the Startup Nation is leading the way with hundreds of scientists, innovators and investors racing to fight coronavirus. From faster diagnosis of COVID-19, to virtual homecare monitoring, to personalized medicine solutions disruptive technologies are being created and passed into service at extraordinary rates.

As historian Yuval Noah Harari recently stated, decisions that in normal times could take years of deliberation are passed in a matter of hours In normal times, governments, businesses and educational boards would never agree to conduct such experiments. But these arent normal times. Despite the risks these somewhat hurried experiments could pose to data privacy and potentially other civil liberties, many believe this may be a once-in-a-plaguetime opportunity for Israeli entrepreneurs to fast-track entry of novel technologies into the market.

Absence of epidemiological data

In order to roll out cutting-edge solutions and interventions, we vitally need one thing: easy collection and shared access to reliable global medical data and insights. Experts claim that Big Data - which analyzes large and complex datasets should be at the heart of the efforts to understand and forecast the impact that COVID-19 and other pandemics will have on all of us. But surprisingly, in todays digital world, such open flow of information barely exists in the healthcare sector.

One of the most debated issues is the absence of epidemiological data on COVID-19 incidences in representative random samples of the general population. Just recently, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced new stunning evidence about the state of the virus: of 397 asymptomatic people tested at Bostons homeless shelter Pine Street Inn, 146 people, or 37%, tested positive for coronavirus. This is at a time when confirmed positive cases in Massachusetts amounted to roughly 0.4%. Similarly, researchers from Stanford University who recently tested 3,300 Californians in Santa Clara County for antibodies, found that the number of people who had been infected in the county was between 50 and 85 times higher than the confirmed case total.

Better predict the next outbreak

Equally important is the lack of clinical data on possible COVID-19 therapies. Three months into the outbreak, physicians are fighting an elusive enemy blindfolded, turning to experimental treatments without knowing where to look and which strategies are most likely to work.

The lack of both epidemiological and clinical data has become a huge concern for Dr. Dekel Taliaz, CEO of personalized medicine startup Taliaz, and President of Digital Health Technologies Israel, an umbrella body representing the digital health ecosystem in Israel. We would be in a totally different place if we had better access to up-to-date global medical insights, he says. Rather than decisionmakers relying on outdated or irrelevant statistics, they would be able to make flexible decisions based on real-life conditions.

This, of course, applies to future outbreaks of COVID-19 and other pandemics, as it gives the world data and tools to be able to better predict and pinpoint the next outbreak.

Real-time insights can outpace coronavirus

Imagine a world in which, based on artificial intelligence and predictive analytics, tailored sets of protocols with different levels of rigor could be implemented for every city, county and neighborhood. This is where startups like Israels Diagnostic Robotics come in. Together with Israels Ministry of Health, Diagnostic Robotics monitors, models and predicts infection trends over time, including daily geographic spread of exposed, suspected, confirmed and deteriorating patients. These dynamic COVID-19 heat maps support forecasts of community-level risk and expected strain on healthcare resources.

Other groundbreaking innovations include Datos Healths new remote management system for home-quarantined COVID-19 cases; and Binah.ais real-time remote vital signs monitoring app, which allows anyone to easily measure oxygen saturation, respiration rate, heart rate and heart rate variability just by looking into a smartphone camera. And this is just the tip of the iceberg.

The novel coronavirus is highly contagious and spreads at higher rates than initially estimated, Dr. Taliaz says. This means we need to support the development of digital tools with real-time insights that can outpace coronavirus. Taliaz has developed an artificial intelligence platform that analyzes clinical, demographic and genetic data to help doctors reduce trial and error by prescribing the right medication from the outset.

Decisionmakers need data to effectively conduct public health interventions

Considering the urgency and profound implications of the coronavirus pandemic, healthcare systems must act now, and some already do: the Israeli Ministry of Health has already opened access to its coronavirus database; similarly, South Korea has released a new website portal to support a global research collaboration on COVID-19.

While these are substantial strides forward, much information is still missing. Healthcare innovation is the backbone that will help us adapt, respond and overcome this pandemic. It is therefore critical to put in place an immediate global plan that makes the secure collection and sharing of anonymized, encrypted medical data a top priority. Now is the time to provide decisionmakers with the valuable data they need to transform existing rigid, static protocols into dynamic, data-driven public health interventions. If we choose global cooperation, we may not only protect our deeply interconnected world from coronavirus, but also prepare it for future pandemics.

How Machine Learning Is Redefining The Healthcare Industry – Small Business Trends

Tuesday, May 5th, 2020

The global healthcare industry is booming. As per recent research, it is expected to cross the $2 trillion mark this year, despite the sluggish economic outlook and global trade tensions. Human beings, in general, are living longer and healthier lives.

There is increased awareness about living organ donation. Robots are being used for gallbladder removals, hip replacements, and kidney transplants. Early diagnosis of skin cancers with minimum human error is a reality. Breast reconstructive surgeries have enabled breast cancer survivors to partake in rebuilding their glands.

All these jobs were unthinkable sixty years ago. Now is an exciting time for the global health care sector as it progresses along its journey for the future.

However, as the worldwide population of 7.7 billion is likely to reach 8.5 billion by 2030, meeting health needs could be a challenge. That is where significant advancements in machine learning (ML) can help identify infection risks, improve the accuracy of diagnostics, and design personalized treatment plans.

source: Deloitte Insights 2020 global health care outlook

In many cases, this technology can even enhance workflow efficiency in hospitals. The possibilities are endless and exciting, which brings us to an essential segment of the article:

Do you understand the concept of the LACE index?

Designed in Ontario in 2004, it identifies patients who are at risk of readmission or death within 30 days of being discharged from the hospital. The calculation is based on four factors length of stay of the patient in the hospital, acuity of admission, concurring diseases, and emergency room visits.

The LACE index is widely accepted as a quality of care barometer and is famously based on the theory of machine learning. Using the past health records of the patients, the concept helps to predict their future state of health. It enables medical professionals to allocate resources on time to reduce the mortality rate.

This technological advancement has started to lay the foundation for closer collaboration among industry stakeholders, affordable and less invasive surgery options, holistic therapies, and new care delivery models. Here are five examples of current and emerging ML innovations:

From the initial screening of drug compounds to calculating the success rates of a specific medicine based on physiological factors of the patients the Knight Cancer Institute in Oregon and Microsofts Project Hanover are currently applying this technology to personalize drug combinations to cure blood cancer.

Machine learning has also given birth to new methodologies such as precision medicine and next-generation sequencing that can ensure a drug has the right effect on the patients. For example, today, medical professionals can develop algorithms to understand disease processes and innovative design treatments for ailments like Type 2 diabetes.

Signing up volunteers for clinical trials is not easy. Many filters have to be applied to see who is fit for the study. With machine learning, collecting patient data such as past medical records, psychological behavior, family health history, and more is easy.

In addition, the technology is also used to monitor biological metrics of the volunteers and the possible harm of the clinical trials in the long-run. With such compelling data in hand, medical professionals can reduce the trial period, thereby reducing overall costs and increasing experiment effectiveness.

Every human body functions differently. Reactions to a food item, medicine, or season differ. That is why we have allergies. When such is the case, why is customizing the treatment options based on the patients medical data still such an odd thought?

Machine learning helps medical professionals determine the risk for each patient, depending on their symptoms, past medical records, and family history using micro-bio sensors. These minute gadgets monitor patient health and flag abnormalities without bias, thus enabling more sophisticated capabilities of measuring health.

Cisco reports that machine-to-machine connection in global healthcare is growing at a rate of 30% CAGR which is the highest compared to any other industry!

Machine learning is mainly used to mine and analyze patient data to find out patterns and carry out the diagnosis of so many medical conditions, one of them being skin cancer.

Over 5.4mn people in the US are diagnosed with this disease annually. Unfortunately, the diagnosis is a virtual and time-taking process. It relies on long clinical screenings, comprising a biopsy, dermoscopy, and histopathological examination.

But machine learning changes all that. Moleanalyzer, an Australia-based AI software application, calculates and compares the size, diameter, and structure of the moles. It enables the user to take pictures at predefined intervals to help differentiate between benign and malignant lesions on the skin.

The analysis lets oncologists confirm their skin cancer diagnosis using evaluation techniques combined with ML, and they can start the treatment faster than usual. Where experts could identify malignant skin tumors, only 86.6% correctly, Moleanalyzer successfully detected 95%.

Healthcare providers have to ideally submit reports to the government with necessary patient records that are treated at their hospitals.

Compliance policies are continually evolving, which is why it is even more critical to ensure the hospital sites to check if they are being compliant and functioning within the legal boundaries. With machine learning, it is easy to collect data from different sources, using different methods and formatting them correctly.

For data managers, comparing patient data from various clinics to ensure they are compliant could be an overwhelming process. Machine learning helps gather, compare, and maintain that data as per the standards laid down by the government, informs Dr. Nick Oberheiden, Founder and Attorney, Oberheiden P.C.

The healthcare industry is steadily transforming through innovative technologies like AI and ML. The latter will soon get integrated into practice as a diagnostic aid, particularly in primary care. It plays a crucial role in shaping a predictive, personalized, and preventive future, making treating people a breeze. What are your thoughts?

Cell therapies trial planned for COVID-19 – Mirage News

Tuesday, May 5th, 2020

More than 200,000 people have died from COVID-19 since January 2020. While Australia has been relatively spared from the onslaught of infections and deaths, our nations scientists need to be part of the global effort to address this pandemic.

Research Group Head, Amnion Cell Biology

There is no effective treatment to address the ongoing damage caused by for severe COVID-19 infections, said Associate Professor Rebecca Lim, Research Group Head of Amnion Cell Biology at Hudson Institute. Our team is investigating whether a cell therapy can be effective.

Amniotic epithelial cells (amnion cells) are from the amniotic sac which surrounds a baby during pregnancy. They have stem cell-like properties and can grow into many cell types. Most importantly, they have potent effects on inflammation and tissue damage.

A/Prof Lim and Professor Euan Wallace (Clinical Director, The Ritchie Centre) are developing a clinical trial to investigate whether these cells can help treat patients with COVID-19.

The team is working closely with intensivists at Monash Healths Intensive Care Unit to deliver a Phase 1b/2a clinical trial for COVID-19 positive patients requiring hospitalisation.

The goal of the trial is to determine if allogeneic amniotic epithelial cells are an effective therapy for severe COVID-19 complications. Specifically, the trial will test whether the cells can significantly reduce the cytokine storm associated with COVID-19 infection, encourage lung tissue to repair, and reduce the incidence of blood clotting and subsequent multi-organ complications including strokes, liver and kidney failure.

We have already shown that the allogeneic amniotic epithelial cells are safe and well-tolerated in extremely premature neonates and acutely unwell adults. So far, we have observed improvements in adult patients with liver disease and severe stroke. This points to the likely benefits for patients with COVID-19. These cells may also reduce the incidence and severity of the disease damage caused by blood clotting in tissues, A/Prof Lim said.

This project involves a partnership between Hudson Institute, Monash Health and Monash University-a team that leads the way in Victoria in cell therapy clinical trials targeting inflammation and regenerative medicine.

Victoria is perfectly placed to deliver a cell therapy treatment for COVID-19, A/Prof Lim said.

However, the trial requires funding.

The other trials using our cell-based therapies are in

West Virginia’s thousands of diabetics are among most susceptible to covid-19 – WV MetroNews – West Virginia MetroNews

Monday, May 4th, 2020

As West Virginia starts to ease coronavirus-related restrictions, the states many residents with diabetes or pre-diabetes will have to navigate the transition with caution.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says those at higher risk of severe illness from covid-19 include people 65 and older, people who live in a nursing home or long-term care facility, people with chronic lung disease or severe asthma, people who have severe heart conditions, people who are immunocompromised, people with severe obesity and people with diabetes.

Any of these chronic diseases, your immune system is compromised. When any disease and infection hits, your body and your bodys ability to fight that infection or disease its harder to do that, said Tracey Brown, chief executive of the American Diabetes Association.

West Virginia has many residents who fit each of those categories.

Diabetes is particularly prevalent.

The state Department of Health and Human Resources describes the rate of diabetes as an epidemic in West Virginia.

Fifteen percent of West Virginia adults has diabetes, according to DHHR. That ranked West Virginia at the top of the nation.

About 11 percent of West Virginia adults had pre-diabetes, according to DHHR.

The American Diabetes Association shows an even higher prevalence of those with pre-diabetes, 35 percent.

Serious complications from diabetes include heart disease, stroke, the necessity of amputation, blindness or death.

You can imagine that the correlation between diabetes and any underlying condition as it relates to covid-19, Brown said last week in an interview with MetroNews.

Everybody has the same risk factor for contracting covid-19 but when somebody with diabetes or an underlying condition contracts covid-19 there is a much higher likelihood of a poor outcome.

Brown and the American Diabetes Association sent a letter to Gov. Jim Justice asking for policies meant to help diabetics deal with the pandemic.

The letter expresses concern about the thousands of people who have experienced a job loss, which has also meant the loss of health insurance.

This is especially problematic for Americans living with diabetes who could now face significant out-of-pocket costs obtaining prescription medications and supplies, including insulin, and who are already among the most vulnerable to the pandemic due to their compromised immunity.

WV Justice 03262020 (Text)

The American Diabetes Association notes that during the past legislative session, officials placed a cap on insulin copayments at $100 for a 30-day supply.

During the pandemic response, the ADA recommends going a step farther to eliminate the copay, allowing it to resume when the crisis passes.

The last thing we want is for people to skip their medicines or ration their insulin, which puts them at greater risk of ending up in the hospital or ending up with bad health outcomes, Brown said. Thats one small thing that every state could do.

The ADA is also pushing for people who lose their jobs to be automatically enrolled in Medicaid and prohibiting their removal if they fail to pay or are late in paying premiums.

Not only do you have all of the things we should be doing, sheltering at home, social distancing, what you have on top of this now are businesses closing, furloughing people, laying people off, Brown said.

Many people have lost their health insurance. Their income has been greatly reduced. The medical expenses for a person living with diabetes is almost two and a half times higher than the people without diabetes.

Even before this, the medical costs of diabetes were enormous.

The American Diabetes Association estimates the costs of diabetes and pre-diabetes at $2.5 billion in West Virginia each year. That includes direct medical expenses as well as an estimate of indirect costs of lost productivity because of diabetes complications.

It is much better to keep people managing their diabetes that is so much better than going to the place of unmanaged where you hit complications and end up in the hospital. Thats a much worse decision and choice, Brown said.

This diabetes epidemic was truly an epidemic well before covid 19. What covid-19 is doing is shining a light on an epidemic that already should have been dealt with.

SNU proves safety, efficacy of metformin in diabetic nephropathy patients – Korea Biomedical Review

Monday, May 4th, 2020

A research team at Seoul National University College of Medicine has recently verified the safety and efficacy of metformin, a diabetes treatment, in diabetic nephropathy patients, and published it in Diabetics Care, an international journal.

The prevalence of chronic renal failure is increasing not only in Korea but also worldwide. According to the Korean Society of Nephrology reported that the estimated number of chronic renal failure patients in Korea totaled about 4.6 million in 2019, and the number of patients is increasing at an annual average rate of about 8.7 percent.

The leading cause of chronic renal failure is diabetic nephropathy caused by diabetes, and attention is now on the treatment of the disease as there are only a limited number of drugs available for treating diabetic nephropathy patients. Metformin has been the most commonly used diabetes drug over the past 60 years.

Although it is heap priced at 50 won (4 U.S. cents) per pill, the medicine is regaining interests as a substance that can prevent senile diseases such as cancer, heart disease, dementia, and blood sugar control, significantly extending patients life expectancy.

The American Diabetes Association and the Korean Society for Endocrinology recommend metformin as an initial treatment for diabetes. As the drug may increase the prevalence of fatal lactic acidosis in patients with chronic renal failure, however, the groups have banned the pill in patients with chronic renal failure of stage 3 or higher. Despite such limitations, there have been continued discussions suggesting that metformin treatment does not increase lactic acidosis compared to other diabetic drugs even in patients with chronic renal failure.

The SUU research team, led by Professor Lee Jeong-pyo, analyzed the dosing records of 10,426 diabetic renal failure patients at Seoul National University Hospital and Boramae Medical Center and found that metformin treatment was also effective in treating the disease and lowering the mortality rate in chronic stage 3B renal failure patients.

Also, the team discovered that metformin administration is safe in patients with chronic renal failure, as dosing with metformin did not increase the prevalence of lactic acidosis compared to other diabetes drugs.

Although this study may require additional prospective studies, we believe that the study has opened up the possibility for metformin, an inexpensive and effective drug for the development of cardiovascular diseases, in treating diabetic chronic renal failure patients, too, the team said.

R. Kelly’s Attorneys Say He Is Diabetic and Should be Released From Jail – The Source

Monday, May 4th, 2020

R. Kellys attorneys are desperately trying to get him out of jail. Now, they are claiming Kelly is a diabetic and at high risk for complications if he catches the coronavirus behind bars.

Billboard reported yesterday that Kelly is likely diabetic, testing just 1/10 of one point below diabetic. Kellys high blood pressure, cholesterol, and weight issues put him in the very top of the high-risk category to catch coronavirus.

His attorney, Steven Greenberg, is demanding for the third time that his client is released from prison. Eleven days prior to Greenbergs appeal, the judge presiding over the case denied Kellys second request to be released from jail while awaiting trial. Greenberg claims that the Bureau of Prisons did not release Kellys diabetic results for almost a month and that no medical attention has been given to Kelly to help with his pre-existing conditions.

However, U.S. AttorneyRichard P. Donoghueargued this idea. He stated that R. Kelly is a flight risk and a danger to the community. In a memo to the court, Donoghue reminded the court of the charges against Kelly in Chicago. They include conspiracy to obstruct justice and a conspiracy to receive child pornography, including during the years he was on bail awaiting trial. Donoghue argues that Kelly might have committed at least five serious crimes while out on bail.

Prosecutors also stated that it was disingenuous for Kelly to say he cannot go anywhere when he received $200,000 in royalties in the first quarter of 2020 and still has a significant network of individuals to assist him on the outside.

While the government recognizes the seriousness of COVID-19 and the increased risk to certain federal prisoners, a generalized risk alone does not justify releasing the entire BOP populations, much less a prisoner being held for racketeering charges involving crimes against specified victims and with a history of obstructing justice and violating his bail conditions by committing serious crimes, Donoghue explained in previous motions to the court.

Greenberg, however, still believes in his clients innocence, saying that R. Kelly will wear a GPS tracker if released and adhere to restricted internet and cell phone use.

Scientists Find New Way to Inject Plants With Medicine, And It May Help Save Our Crops – ScienceAlert

Monday, May 4th, 2020

You may not think of plants as needing life-saving medicine, but that's sometimes the case when bugs and disease strike. Now, scientists have developed a super-accurate, highly delicate way of delivering drugs, and right where plants need them.

At the moment, plants can be sprayed with pesticides, which doesn't really penetrate to the roots, or they can be treated with large needles that aren't particularly precise, and tend to cause damage to the plants.

The new method makes use of microneedles or what the researchers are calling 'phytoinjectors', sitting on top of a silk-based biomaterial patch, which are able to hit a plant's circulatory system directly. Pesticides, in contrast, might travel between the root system and the leaves.

(Cao et al., Advanced Science, 2020)

As well as delivering medicine or nutrients to different parts of the plant, the new mechanism could also be used to take samples of a plant, which are then transferred to a lab for analysis, or even to edit DNA (something the team has successfully tried).

"We wanted to solve the technical problem of how you can have a precise access to the plant vasculature," says mechanical engineer Yunteng Caofrom MIT.

"You can think about delivering micronutrients, or you can think about delivering genes, to change the gene expression of the plant or to basically engineer a plant."

The motivation for the project came from the spread of the citrus greening disease across the US and other parts of the world, which threatens to flatten an industry worth $9 billion if a solution isn't found. Olives and bananas are other fruits under particular threat from disease across the world right now.

Previous work looking at the use of microneedles to deliver human vaccines was used as a starting point, with silk kept as the basis of the material holding the microneedles.

Silk is strong, doesn't cause a reaction in plants, and can be made degradable enough to get out of the way once the drugs have been delivered.

However, a lot also had to change compared to microneedles used on humans: plants have far less water available than the human body does, so the design had to be adapted.

The team of scientists was able to boost the silk's hydrophilicity (water-attracting capabilities), and come up with a new material more suited for plants.

"We found that adaptations of a material designed for drug delivery in humans to plants was not straightforward, due to differences not only in tissue vasculature, but also in fluid composition," says biologist Eugene Lim.

Tests of the material and its microneedled payload on tomato and tobacco plants showed that it could be successful as a drug delivery system. Fluorescent molecules were used to track the progress of the injection all the way from the roots to the leaves.

The system should adapt to other plants fairly easily, the researchers say, though scaling it up is going to prove more challenging. The work should prove useful for future projects though, both in delivering life-saving drugs to save plants from disease, and in engineering them to avoid disease in the first place.

"For the future, our research interests will go beyond antibiotic delivery to genetic engineering and point-of-care diagnostics based on metabolite sampling," says environmental engineer Benedetto Marelli.

The research has been published in Advanced Science.

Blue-sky thinking for food production – Farm Weekly

Monday, May 4th, 2020

WITH food security trending across social media sites, its important to take note of the blue-sky research being carried out in Australia to future-proof our food.

While panic buying and poor logistics have caused the majority of food shortages on Australian supermarket shelves, long-term climate trends and the commercial realities of needing to 'grow more with less' have been driving researchers toward altering the way plants grow at a fundamental level.

Despite the long-winded name, the Australian National University's (ANU) Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for Transitional Photosynthesis has a rather straightforward mission - research the ways photosynthesis can be altered to increase yield in food crops.

Centre director and ANU professor Robert Furbank said photosynthesis, the process green plants use to convert sunlight into chemical energy, could give farmers the tools to increase crop production while battling with changes to the climate.

"Australian plant scientists are punching above their weight by participating in global, interdisciplinary efforts to find ways to increase crop production," professor Furbank said.

"We essentially need to double the production of major cereals before 2050 to secure food availability for the rapidly growing world population."

Initial outcomes from the research were recently published in the Journal of Experimental Botany.

Co-editor and ANU researcher professor John Evans said the publications showed how improving photosynthesis could benefit food production.

"We are working on improving photosynthesis on different fronts, from finding crop varieties that need less water, to tweaking parts of the process in order to capture more carbon dioxide and sunlight," professor Evans said.

"We know that there is a delay of at least a decade to get these solutions to the breeders and farmers, so we need to start developing new opportunities now before we run out of options."

Professor Evans said the research covers everything from genetic engineering to synthetic biology, working across crops such as wheat, rice and sorghum.

While the pay-off from this sort of 'blue-sky' research can be decades away, professor Furbank said it was important the research was conducted now.

"It is similar to finding a virus vaccine to solve a pandemic, it doesn't happen overnight.

"We know that Australia's agriculture is going to be one area of the world that is most affected by climate extremes, so we are preparing to have a toolbox of plant innovations ready to ensure global food security in a decade or so."

Professor Furbank said this was why long-term proactive funding for blue-sky research was needed.

We need more honesty in GMO discussions – Ethiopia Observer

Monday, May 4th, 2020

The statement by the pro-GMO expert in an article published in the Ethiopia Observer: [GMOs] in principle, [] could allow increased yield and lower production costs, which translates to increased farm income, lacks moral correctness and it is built more on theory than reality.

The author has every right to promote Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) but his article is one-sided, selective in its use of studies, and full of factual errors. The author who has a manifestly unbridled enthusiasm for GMOs makes some overconfident claims, starting from his opening line which says, genetically modified (GM) traits can be valuable and the discussion around them should be based on facts and in a case-by-case approach. However, he did not provide enough case-by-case examples of these traits that could be relevant to solve the problems of smallholder farmers in Ethiopia. After all, any technological intervention must be based on the needs and realities of those smallholder farmers who are the main producers of food and raw material for industrial production in Ethiopia. For instance, we have yet to see GM traits that could be effective to mitigate the devastating wheat rust, withstand extreme drought and frost, and provide a higher yield than existing crop varieties. There are numerous writings that wax lyrical about the virtues of GMOs, many of them written by paid advocates. But independent assessments on the nature and performance of GM crops in comparison with conventionally improved varieties are rare. Even if we must advocate for GMOs, it must be in consideration of the countrys interest than that of the multinationals, whose sole motive is nothing more than profit. We must also communicate facts that are relevant for smallholder farming in Ethiopia instead of stories from commercial farming in the U.S. or other industrialized countries. If the GM traits must be there, it must be with the aim to solve farmers problems.

Indeed, GMOs should not be confused with the use of biotechnology as a science. There are biotechnology tools such as marker-assisted selection that are cheaper and can be helpful in countries like Ethiopia to develop new varieties in a short period of time for use. These kinds of technologies are less risky and easy to integrate with conventional breeding in pro-poor public research institutions.

In the first paragraph, the author wrote, the genome of organisms can be altered to contain [a] genetic variants so that the GMO can express a desired trait, which could, for instance, be drought-tolerance. He adds, in principle, this could allow increased yield and lower production costs, which translates to increased farm income. The truth of the matter is, we have not yet seen super varieties or GM cultivars that have led to a huge surge in yields and tolerate moisture stress. High yield already exists in conventionally breed improved varieties. Most GMOs are created by inserting genes (e.g. from bacteria) into these high yielding varieties to produce toxins that kill insects or to become herbicide tolerant. Thus, two types of GM crops dominate todays market.

Insect-resistant GM crops these types of GM crops are developed by introducing a gene fromBacillus thuringiensis(Bt), a soil bacterium. Such GM plants or Bt-plants were created to produce toxins that kill insect pests. The advantage is that we avoid spraying synthetic chemicals to control insect-pest by growing Bt-crops. This is useful for the environment and the economy of the producer. But things get murkier when the insect evolves through time and develop resistance to Bt toxin produced by the plants. Insect resistance by GM crops breaks as much as those varieties developed through conventional breeding. Studies have already shown this problem. This would force farmers to go back to using chemicals to control the pest, making the cost of production higher as farmers would be obliged to buy expensive GM seeds as well as associated insecticidal chemicals. It also means farmers would be required to spray more chemicals, which is bad for the environment. Another problem with GM crops is that they do not have certain features compared to their counterpart conventional varieties while they maintain insect resistance. For instance, the Bt-cotton failed in Burkina Faso because the fiber quality of cotton was below standard, and farmers were forced to sell at a low price. Generally, GM crops have not demonstrated superior performance compared to conventional varieties in this regard but one thing that we could speak with certitude is they increase production costs. This is because all GMOs are patented, which makes the seeds and associated agrochemical inputs more expensive. Thus, the patent on such GM crops is an incentive for the multinationals to accumulate wealth at the expense of poor farmers.

Herbicide-tolerant GM crops these types of GM crops are modified to tolerate huge doses of chemical herbicide e.g. Roundup Ready GM soybeans. Roundup kills non-modified normal soya plants and weeds. In other words, normal soya plants and all other unwanted plants in the field (weeds) die except those GM soya plants when we spray them with Roundup. Indeed, this makes weed control easier or manageable when we have a huge soya field which otherwise is difficult to control weeds by manual weeding. This can be beneficial for large scale farmers in developed countries where labor is expensive. The problem with this type of GM crop is the emergence of superweeds as observed in recent years. These are tolerant weeds that are no longer killed by Roundup and growers must spray more of it to control weed infestation. This means it exacerbates the environmental hazard. It increases water, soil, and air pollution, which can have a devastating effect on human and ecosystem health. Still, the winners are companies who earn from the sale of a patented chemical (roundup) and GM soya seeds.

Companies are now grabbing plant genetic resources by incorporating genes from traditional plant varieties and wild relatives into GM crops through patenting.

The author correctly points out that altering the genomes of plants and animals did not begin with the emergence of genetic engineering (GE) and genetic modification in recent decades. In fact, people have been altering the genomes of plants and animals for thousands of years starting from domestication through to traditional selection and modern-day breeding, he wrote. This is why many observers find patenting plants and animals outrageous because the diversity of crops that we have today is the result of thousands of years of selection and management by farmers. Companies are now grabbing plant genetic resources by incorporating genes from traditional plant varieties and crop wild relatives into GM crops through patenting It must be underlined that companies are not inventing genes, but they are simply isolating them from farmers varieties or genetic resources in the public domain. They would go on introducing these genes to a new one to claim a patent, which gives them complete monopoly of the genes. The example of introducing a gene that confers resistance to Xanthomonas from sweet pepper to banana shows this technological practice. The same thing is being tried on Enset. This becomes unfair when the technology is monopolized by a handful of multinational companies through patents.

In my view, it is insincere to promote GMOs in a country that has weak or insufficient biosafety regulatory frameworks such as biotechnology and/or biosafety policy, laws, regulations and guidelines, administrative systems, decision-making systems and mechanisms for public engagement.

In addition to hiding these socio-economic harms from use of GMOs, the author intentionally avoids distinguishing genetic engineering from conventional breeding including the selection of better plant varieties by farmers. Genetic engineering (that involves the transfer of genes from unrelated organism to another such as between bacteria and plants to create transgenic organisms), and Genetic modification (that involves modifying the DNA of an organism by removing, replacing some genes or inserting genes from other plants of the same species) is different from farmers selection practices (conscious or unconscious). The later resulted in an enormous diversity of crops and animals we have today. This is a common communication practice by pro-GMO experts to ignore the socio-economic and ecological risks of GMOs. In my view, it is insincere to promote GMOs in a country that has weak or insufficient biosafety regulatory frameworks such as biotechnology and/or biosafety policy, laws, regulations and guidelines, administrative systems, decision-making systems and mechanisms for public engagement. While the authors doubt about Ethiopias eco-leadership is forgivable, the fact he stressed regarding earlier cultivation of GMOs in other African countries is undeniable.

I leave it to the author to learn about Ethiopias Pan-African environmental initiative by reading Dr. Melaku Woreds work and that of Dr. Tewolde Berhan Gebre Egziabher. Earlier cultivation of GMOs in other African countries is true, as the author points out. But he avoids mentioning that the use of GMOs has been restricted to few crops and countries on the continent. The U.S. and its agri-conglomerates pushed for commercial cultivation of GM crops in South Africa in the late 1990s following the countrys transition to democracy from apartheid. It is no accident, that they are trying to push for the same market opportunity in Ethiopia today. They see a similar moment in the countrys history a transition from authoritarian rule to democracy. In the last 20 years, big commercial farmers in South Africa have been growing GMOs. Egypt and Sudan have allowed GM crop cultivation, especially Bt-Cotton. Burkina Faso tried to do the same, but it largely failed. Overall, GMOs have not expanded to many African countries as hoped by the U.S and its companies in the 1990s and later years. Ethiopia, Rwanda, and Uganda seem to be the new target countries now. Uganda has allowed trials for the genetically modified banana in the last few years. Rwanda is considering opening up to genetically modified potato. GMOs have also made their way to the African Union in the form of policy through the development of the African Seed and Biotechnology Programme in 2008. But the program focuses on overall seed system development and states that GMOs can be one alternative, but it should be managed safely. I would also like to remind the author that this program was developed based on the African Model law that Ethiopia drafted in 2000, before its relaxation due to pressure from western donors and new philanthropists such as Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. It is understandable for the author to say that GM can be a valuable tool but is no cure-all when he argues using a study done by people from Agri-food group and a study that uses data from the internet (a literature review of studies mostly done/financed by Monsanto and other companies) instead of filed level environmental and socio-economic impacts of GMOs to make conclusions. What we have been lacking is an independent study of GMOs that has no affiliation to pro- and ant-GMO movements. So, all these praises dont support the authors claims.

The author also tells that for countries with foreign currency bottlenecks like Ethiopia, reduced use of inputs such as pesticide, insecticide, and herbicide could translate to substantial foreign currency savings. Unfortunately, this is premised on flawed reasoning. Ethiopia could earn more foreign currency from exporting its organic products. Buying a technology that others benefit from will not solve its currency problem. Rather Ethiopias export will be questioned after the adoption of GMOs especially in Europe where GMOs are not welcomed both by consumers and their strict regulatory framework.

Another argument by the author is the labor-saving benefits of insect-resistant and herbicide-tolerant maize varieties. This is beside the point. It is strange to argue in this manner in a country where millions of young people are not in employment. The country might have many other problems but not labor. The author also said, GM also offers an adaptive capacity against an increasingly unpredictable future. What is proof of this? Of course, there is not. The author has simply overstretched himself. In my view, there is no risk that vulnerable smallholder farmers can bear, and Pro-GMO experts need to be honest and build public trust in Ethiopia

Death of a Survivor – The New Republic

Monday, May 4th, 2020

Having served over half her sentence, Lulu was a candidate for medical parole based on her age and health even before the coronavirus crisis. Her medical history included chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, hepatitis C, seizure disorder, and stage stage-five chronic kidney disease. She also had a heart attack and open-heart surgery in January. Release for Lulu and others in similar situations became a more urgent public health issue during the pandemic. Since early March, academic experts, medical and legal professionals, and advocates have been requesting broad release for incarcerated New Yorkersespecially the elderly, the pregnant, and those with underlying health conditions.

In jails and prisons, social distancing is impossible, and there are minimal sanitary supplies and limited medical capacity. The Release Aging People from Prison (RAPP) Campaign had called for the 9,550 people age 50 and older in state prisons be freed. As of April 30, Cuomo had released 116 older people from prisonor approximately 1 percent of the over-50 population. (He also ordered the release of up to 1,100 people in local jails on low-level parole violations.) Were Cuomo to allow the most vulnerable to go home, Donna Robinson, RAPPs Western New York regional organizer, told me, so many lives would not be lostnot only of people who are incarcerated, but the guards, the vendors, the volunteers.

As of May 1, 1,074 staff members and 375 incarcerated people at New York State prisons are confirmed positive for Covid-19; ten incarcerated people and two staff members have died. On March 30, a top doctor at New Yorks Rikers Island Jail tweeted that, in 12 days, one Covid-19 case had exploded into 200, that the virus was spreading rapidly, and that it was unlikely that the jail could stem the growth. By April 30, there were 376 cases, an infection rate of nearly 10 percent, compared to the civilian rate of 1.5 percent in the rest of the state. All numbers only reflect those who have been given tests, which are notoriously in short supply. When the Bureau of Prisons, which controls federal facilities, tested 2,700 incarcerated people for Covid-19, 71 percent of the tests came back positive.

All visitation to Bedford Hills was canceled on March 16. Incarcerated women, civilian workers, guards, and their families fell ill. Lulu wrote to Melissa on March 20, cheerful as usual, grateful for her care package of popcorn and Honey Buns. Hey Sis, How are you doing? Is the sun out up north? I got the stuff you sent me Thank you very much for all that you did Love you both and tell the kids I said hello and to continuously wash their hands and face. Love LuLu. As the virus circulated, she grew anxious. On March 28, she asked Melissa to contact people in higher places and let them know. With her underlying health issues, she added, I cannot afford to get this virus. It may kill me. Please help.

Citius Announces Pre-IND Submission to FDA Under the Coronavirus Treatment Acceleration Program for a Novel Stem Cell Therapy for Acute Respiratory…

Monday, May 4th, 2020

- Company's goal to initiate clinical trial in patients in 2020

- Innovative therapy candidate uses next generation mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) derived from a master cell bank of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs)

CRANFORD, N.J., April 27, 2020 /PRNewswire/ --Citius Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Citius" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: CTXR), a specialty pharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing critical care drug products, today announced that it submitted a pre-IND meeting request and supporting briefing documents to the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research ("CBER") of the FDA under the Coronavirus Treatment Acceleration Program (CTAP) on April 24. The Company has requested the Division's feedback to support the most expeditious pathway into the clinic to evaluate a novel cell therapy in patients suffering from COVID-19-related ARDS.

The cells, called NoveCite Cells or NC-MSCs, are made by Novellus, Inc. ("Novellus"), a Cambridge-based biotechnology company, using its patented mRNA-based cell-reprogramming process. NC-MSCs are mesenchymal stem cells derived from a single donor's fibroblasts that have been dedifferentiated into an induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) master cell bank, thereby avoiding the need to source additional donor cells. The iPSCs are then further differentiated into a mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) therapy. Citius and Novellus plan to develop NC-MSCs for the treatment of ARDS, and last month the companies signed an exclusive option agreement.

The Company plans a multi-center randomized placebo-controlled dose-finding study followed by an expansion phase to assess the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of NC-MSCs in patients with moderate to severe ARDS due to COVID-19. The proposed trial, a Phase 1b/2 clinical trial, is titled "A Randomized Placebo-Controlled Dose-Finding Study Followed by a Dose Level Expansion to Assess the Safety and Efficacy of NoveCite MSCs in Subjects with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) Due to SARS-CoV-2 Disease (COVID-19)," or "MARCO". The primary objectives of this study are to evaluate the safety and efficacy of NoveCite cells as a treatment for subjects with moderate-to-severe ARDS due to COVID-19 and to identify therapeutic doses.

"MSCs have an established track-record of clinical safety, and have shown promise in the treatment of inflammatory lung disease," said Matt Angel, PhD, co-founder and Chief Science Officer at Novellus, Inc. "Our research has shown that the NoveCite cells, being derived from mRNA-reprogrammed iPSCs, secrete higher levels of immunomodulatory proteins than donor-derived MSCs, and have unique manufacturing advantages."

"We believe we have the key elements in place from a clinical design and manufacturing point of view to evaluate this novel cell therapy approach to deal with the current pandemic," said Myron Holubiak, Chief Executive Officer of Citius. "ARDS is a very serious complication for many patients suffering from COVID-19, and is believed to account for about 80% of the deaths in ventilated patients. There is no proven or FDA-approved treatment for it, other than oxygen therapy, including use of mechanical ventilation, and fluid management. Literature from previous investigational studies with MSCs in the treatment of lung injuries support the idea that MSCs could prove effective in treating COVID-19-related ARDS. We look forward to our FDA discussions and are excited to be at the cusp of what could be a novel and effective therapy for ARDS."

About Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS)ARDS is a type of respiratory failure characterized by rapid onset of widespread inflammation in the lungs. ARDS is a rapidly progressive disease that occurs in critically ill patients most notably now in those diagnosed with COVID-19. ARDS affects approximately 200,000 patients per year in the U.S., exclusive of the current COVID-19 pandemic, and has a 30% to 50% mortality rate. ARDS is sometimes initially diagnosed as pneumonia or pulmonary edema (fluid in the lungs from heart disease). Symptoms of ARDS include shortness of breath, rapid breathing and heart rate, chest pain (particularly while inhaling), and bluish skin coloration. Among those who survive ARDS, a decreased quality of life is relatively common.

Story continues

About Coronavirus Treatment Acceleration Program (CTAP)In response to the pandemic, the FDA has created an emergency program called the Coronavirus Treatment Acceleration Program (CTAP) to accelerate the development of treatments for COVID-19. By redeploying staff, the FDA is responding to COVID-19-related requests and reviewing protocols within 24 hours of receipt. The FDA said CTAP "uses every available method to move new treatments to patients as quickly as possible, while at the same time finding out whether they are helpful or harmful." In practice, that means developers of potential treatments for COVID-19 will benefit from an unusually faster track at the FDA to shorten wait times at multiple steps of the process.

AgeX Therapeutics Announces Reduction in Projected Cash Expenditures – Business Wire

Monday, May 4th, 2020

ALAMEDA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--AgeX Therapeutics, Inc. (AgeX; NYSE American: AGE), a biotechnology company developing therapeutics for human aging and regeneration, announced that based on a strategic review of its operations, giving consideration to the status of its product development programs, human resources, capital needs and resources, and current conditions in the capital markets resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, it is initiating staff layoffs, anticipated to affect 12 employees, primarily research and development personnel. The layoffs are expected to be completed on or around May 1, 2020. AgeX expects to pay approximately $105,000 in accrued payroll and unused paid time off and other benefits and expects to recognize approximately $194,800 in restructuring charges in connection with the reduction in staffing, consisting of contractual severance and other employee termination benefits, substantially all of which are expected to be settled in cash.

AgeX plans to continue to pursue its licensing and collaboration strategy for its two primary technology platforms, UniverCyte immunotolerance technology, and PureStem cell derivation and manufacturing technology. Since the launch of its licensing and collaboration strategy in January 2020, AgeX delivered a research collaboration in Japan focused on developing universally transplantable cells for therapeutic use based on UniverCyte, and entered into a neural stem cell therapy research collaboration for neurological disorders utilizing PureStem at a California state university. AgeXs budgetary and personnel adjustments will result in the deferral of in-house work on the development of AgeX therapy product candidates, including AGEX-VASC1 and AGEX-BAT1, and its induced tissue regeneration (iTR) technology, and may also lead to outsourcing of some of that work, until further funding can be obtained to rebuild a research and development staff for one or more of those programs. Development of AgeXs iTR technology may be done at AgeXs subsidiary Reverse Bioengineering, Inc. subject to successful financing of the subsidiary.
