Homemade masks made of silk and cotton may boost protection – UChicago News

Thursday, April 30th, 2020

The experiments took place in two plexiglass boxes connected by a tube. In one chamber, the team created a cloud of particles and blew them toward the tube, which was covered by different combinations of cloth. Mike Schmoldt and Greg Moss, environmental safety experts at Argonne who specialize in respirator testing and the effects of aerosol particles, used laboratory-grade scientific instruments to measured the number and size of particles in the chambers before and after passing through the fabric.

According to their results, one layer of a tightly woven cotton sheet, combined with two layers of polyester-based chiffona sheer fabric often used in evening gownsfiltered out the most aerosol particles (80% to 99%, depending on particle size). Substituting the chiffon with natural silk or a polyester-cotton flannel, or simply using a cotton quilt with cotton-polyester batting, produced similar results.

Though the study does not attempt to replicate real-world conditions, the findings are a useful guide. The researchers pointed out that tightly woven fabrics, such as cotton, can act as a mechanical barrier to particles; whereas fabrics that hold a static charge, like certain types of chiffon and natural silk, can serve as an electrostatic barrier. The electrostatic effect serves to suck in and hold the tiniest particles, which might otherwise slip through holes in the cotton. This is key to how N95 masks are constructed.

However, Guha added, even a small gap reduced the filtering efficiency of all masks by half or more, emphasizing the importance of a properly fitted mask.

Fabrics that did not do well included standard polyester and spandex with more open weave. In general, Guha said, fabric with tighter weaveswith fewer gaps between the strands of yarnworked better.

This is some of the first methodical data Ive seen on homemade masks. Its very helpful to have some idea of how the different types of fabric perform, said Emily Landon, executive medical director of infection prevention and control at the University of Chicago Medicine. I was also pleasantly surprised by how effective some of the homemade masks can be in the right conditions.

Landon noted that the advice to wear homemade masks while out in public is intended primarily to protect others from your own respiratory droplets, and that universal adoption of this recommendation will go a long way to make everyone safer.

In that case, any mask is better than none.

The first author on the study was Abhiteja Konda with Argonne National Laboratory. The other authors were Argonnes Abhinav Prakash as well as Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering graduate student Gregory Grant. The team used the U.S. Department of Energys Center for Nanoscale Materials user facility at Argonne National Laboratory.

Nature Communications Highlights Research by Scientists at Graybug Vision and Johns Hopkins University on Sustained Treatment of Retinal Diseases -…

Wednesday, April 22nd, 2020

REDWOOD CITY, Calif., April 21, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Graybug Vision, Inc., a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing transformative medicines to treat vision-threatening diseases of the retina and optic nerve, announces that a recent publication of the article Sustained treatment of retinal vascular diseases with self-aggregating sunitinib microparticles in Nature Communications was recognized as an Editors Highlight by the journal.

The article details the findings of a collaborative preclinical research project involving scientists at Graybug Vision and the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. The researchers developed a novel non-inflammatory polymer microparticle formulation containing sunitinib, an approved tyrosine kinase inhibitor drug that blocks vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) receptors. The microparticle formulation was specifically designed to self-aggregate into a depot in the eye.

The study demonstrated that a single intravitreal (IVT) injection of sunitinib microparticles potently suppresses choroidal neovascularization in a mouse model for six months, far longer than the effect of an IVT injection of aflibercept in the same model. The sunitinib microparticles were also shown to block VEGF-induced leukostasis and retinal nonperfusion, which are associated with the progression of diabetic retinopathy.

The invention of new compositions and methods to produce non-inflammatory polymer microparticles for the eye was a key achievement in prior research led by Justin Hanes, Ph.D., Lewis J. Ort Professor of Ophthalmology and Director of the Center of Nanomedicine at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, and Peter J. McDonnell, Director of the Wilmer Eye Institute at Johns Hopkins. Graybug Vision was founded on the basis of technologies initially developed by Justin Hanes in collaboration with co-author Peter A. Campochiaro, M.D., Professor of Ophthalmology and Director of the Retinal Cell and Molecular Laboratory at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine.

VEGF signaling plays a critical role in retinal diseases like wet age-related macular degeneration, and our experiments with the sunitinib sustained-release formulation showed efficacy and durability, said Ming Yang, Vice President of Research and Development at Graybug Vision. Based on the results reported in this publication, Graybug advanced GB-102 into clinical development to evaluate its potential to improve the lives of patients with ocular diseases, concluded Ming Yang.

GB-102, Graybugs microparticle depot formulation of the anti-VEGF sunitinib malate, is currently in Phase 2 clinical development in patients with wet age-related macular degeneration (wet AMD). It seeks to reduce the need for frequent IVT injections by expanding treatment duration to six months while reducing the burden of current treatments.

About Wet AMDWet AMD is one of the most common retinal diseases, leading to vision decline caused by excess VEGF. VEGF is a protein produced by cells that stimulates the formation of abnormal new blood vessels behind the retina, called choroidal neovascularization. The leakage of fluid and protein from the vessels causes retinal degeneration and leads to severe and rapid loss of vision. Early intervention is essential to treat wet AMD. According to the American Academy of Ophthalmology, the prevalence of wet AMD in the United States is estimated at 1.75 million people. We estimate that approximately 20 million adults are affected by wet AMD worldwide.

About Graybug VisionGraybug Vision is a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing transformative medicines to treat diseases of the retina and optic nerve. The companys proprietary ocular delivery technologies are designed to maintain effective drug levels in ocular tissue for up to six months and potentially longer, improving patient compliance, reducing healthcare burdens and ultimately delivering better clinical outcomes. Graybugs lead product candidate, GB-102, a microparticle depot formulation of sunitinib malate, inhibits multiple neovascular pathways for the intravitreal treatment of retinal diseases, including wet age-related macular degeneration, with a six-month dosing regimen. This approach is differentiated from the current standard of care, which requires more frequent dosing and primarily targets one neovascular pathway. Graybug is also using its proprietary technologies to develop GB-401, an injectable depot formulation of a beta-adrenergic prodrug, for primary open angle glaucoma, with a dosing regimen of once every six months or longer, and GB-103, a longer-acting version of GB-102, designed to maintain therapeutic drug levels in the retinal tissue for 12 months with a single injection. Founded in 2011 on the basis of technology licensed from the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Graybug is headquartered in Redwood City, California.

Taiwan’s AI thermometer draws interest in SE Asia – Taiwan News

Wednesday, April 22nd, 2020

Taiwan develops AI infrared thermometer. (NHRI image) Taiwan develops AI infrared thermometer. (NHRI image)

TAIPEI (Taiwan News) Many Southeast Asian nations have expressed interest in acquiring a next-generation infrared thermometer developed by Taiwan that is being touted as smart and able to reduce erroneous readings.

Designed by the National Health Research Institutes (NHRI), a government-sponsored and mission-oriented medical research center, the thermometer incorporates artificial intelligence (AI) technologies.

The AI feature allows the device to detect people's faces before reading their temperatures, which reduces errors due to interference by radiation emitted from objects held by the individual being measured for example, a cup of hot coffee or cold drink. The feature is particularly commercially attractive at a time when countries around the world are deploying thermometers to screen suspected patients of the coronavirus.

Compared to other types of contactless thermometer, the system delivered satisfactory results in an experiment of 200 people in open spaces, said Liao Lun-de (), assistant investigator of NHRIs Institute of Biomedical Engineering and Nanomedicine. The masks, hats, and glasses the individuals wore were not found to have affected the temperature readings.

The device will sound an alarm and automatically take photos of individuals whose temperatures exceed a certain level. The alerts will be dispatched to disease control staff so they can respond in an efficient and timely fashion.

The mechanism, which integrates real-time thermal sensor software and AI neuroscience, among other technologies, is also cost-competitive, as some thermometers are priced at over NT$200,000 (US$6,653) a unit, said Liao.

A new, inhaled siRNA therapeutic option for asthma – Advanced Science News

After more than 20 years of research, we are now witnessing a breakthrough of small interfering RNA (siRNA)-based therapies. In 2018, the first-ever siRNA drug, Onpattro, reached the market, followed by the approval of Givlaari in 2019, and many other clinical trials are in progress.

Holding the potential to treat a wide range of diseases from cancer to immunological disorders, siRNA therapeutics have received plenty of attention. With the support of a suitable delivery system, they can be directed to downregulate a specific target gene. Both approved siRNA drugs Onpattro and Givlaari are only able to reach the liver, however. Other organs that can be treated by loco-regional administration, such as the lung, are, in principle, good targets for siRNA therapies as well.

In this view, siRNA-baseddrugs could not only act as an ally in the battle against the current COVID-19pandemic but also against other severe lung diseases such as asthma. Despitethe great advances in asthma treatment, this disease still represents an unmetmedical need in about 510% of patients.Moreover, most of the available drugs work symptomatically rather than causally.

In a recent article published in WIREs Nanomedicine and Nanobiotechnology, Domizia Baldassi and Tobias Keil, graduate students in Prof. Olivia Merkels research group at the University of Munich, discuss the groups advances towards developing a nanocarrier that can deliver siRNA into T cells in the lung.

The aim of T-cell delivery is downregulation of GATA-3, the transcription factor of T helper 2 (TH2) cells overexpressed in asthmatic patients, which is recognized as a key factor in the asthmatic inflammatory cascade. Based on their observation that transferrin receptor is overexpressed in activated T cells, the researchers sought to find a virus-like tool to target activated TH2 cells specifically and efficiently in a receptor-mediated manner.

They accomplishedthis goal by creating a conjugate formed by transferrin and low-molecular-weightpolyethylenimine (Tf-PEI). On the one hand, they used a well-known cationic polymerto electrostatically interact with the negatively charged siRNA and protect itfrom degradation during the journey through the airways. And on the other hand,transferrin served as a targeting moiety to mediate a specific, targeteddelivery of siRNA only to activated T cells.

Since theendosomal escape is considered the rate-limiting step in cytoplasmaticdelivery of nanoparticle-based therapies, improving this aspect of theformulation was the focus, and Tf-PEI was blended with a second conjugatecomposed of melittin and PEI (Mel-PEI). Melittin is a well-known membranolyticagent from bee venom that was chemically modified to react in a pH-dependentmanner.

The researchersexploited the intrinsic lytic characteristic of the peptide to improve therelease of siRNA into the cytosol, reaching knockdown levels as high as 70% exvivo. But further steps such as the validation of these results in vivo on anasthma mouse model are needed, as well as possible alternative polymericmaterials.

In the process of developing a new pharmaceutical product, it is crucial to keep the administration route in mind. Spray drying is the most straightforward technique to produce inhalable particles for pulmonary delivery, according to the researchers. In a proof-of-concept study, they obtained nano-in-microparticles by spray drying PEI-pDNA polyplexes together with a cryoprotectant agent. After seeing promising results, their studies to obtain a dry powder formulation of siRNA-based polyplexes are ongoing.

Ultimately, both research fields will be combined and hopefully result in a new therapy for the treatment of severe, uncontrolled asthma and many other lung diseases, concluded Baldassi, Keil, and Merkel.

Multifunctional nanomedicine: Developing smarter therapeutics – Advanced Science News

Friday, April 10th, 2020

Share

Email

Althoughthe medical and pharmaceutical fields have come a long way in diagnosing diseasestates and producing highly potent drugs, the lack of effective delivery ofsuch therapeutics to the target organ with desired pharmacokinetics remains oneof the major challenges in this process.

The advent of nanotechnology, along with advances in protein engineering and materials science, have brought new hope to patients. The impact of nanotechnology on medicine nanomedicine is recognized by the development of novel nanoscale therapeutics and diagnostic and imaging modalities.

Ina recent review published in WIREs Nanomedicine and Nanobiotechnology, Professor Joerg Lahann and his team from the University of Michigan discuss state-of-the-art nanoparticle drug delivery platforms, their advantages and shortcomings, and future directions towards clinical translation.

The ability to impart multiple functions to a single delivery system, engineering both bulk and surface properties, provides a means to answer some of the greatest remaining challenges in the field of drug delivery, said Jason Gregory, a PhD student in the Lahann Lab.

In fact, approaches to address this conundruminclude the development of multifunctional particles, cell-mediated transportmechanisms, and the use of biologically derived materials. Multifunctionalparticles can possess two or more dissimilar properties through surface or bulkanisotropy.

For example, the electrohydrodynamic co-jetting process, which was pioneered in the Lahann lab, permits the creation of multicompartmental particles. Independently engineering individual compartments of the nanoparticle leads to an ability to incorporate materials with orthogonal properties that may offer a solution to simultaneously address multiple biological barriers.

Multicompartmental particles provide a set ofunique features for nanoparticle targeting and controlled release ofcombination drugs, said Dr. Joerg Lahann, the Wolfgang Pauli CollegiateProfessor of Chemical Engineering and Director of the Biointerfaces Instituteat the University of Michigan.

While traditional nanoparticles fail to efficiently deliver the drug to target sites, our bodys circulatory cells as natural carriers of many substances have evolved properties to optimally perform delivery functions. Imparting these properties into the design of the drug delivery platforms by combining nanoparticles with circulatory cells enhances the overall outcome of the system, added Nahal Habibi, a PhD student in the Lahann Lab working on cell-mediated drug delivery strategies.

Leukocytes are particularly good candidates because they can naturally migrate to disease-relevant regions that are often inaccessible by traditional nanoparticles, and have been used to carry therapeutic nanoparticles to cross the bloodbrain barrier in a Parkinsons disease model.

Synthetic protein nanoparticles are another emerging trend in nanomedicine.

Advances in designing novel multicompartmental polymer/protein nanoparticles utilizing the intersection of polymer chemistry and protein biochemistry offers promise in engineering the next generation of nanoparticle formulations, said Daniel Quevedo, another PhD candidate in Prof. Lahanns group.

Sudden resignation of ERC president stirs heated dispute over motives – Science Business

Friday, April 10th, 2020

Mauro Ferrari resigned unexpectedly as president of the European Research Council, triggering a noisy public spat over why and how he left.

Ferrari, an Italian-American expert in nano-medicine, fired off an angry resignation memo provided first to the Financial Times castigating the European Commission for a largely uncoordinated cluster of initiatives. He said he pushed to have the ERC, which focuses on frontier research, launch a special funding round for COVID-19 research. As a result, he said, I have lost faith in the system itself and submitted his resignation on 7 April.

But that version of events was quickly disputed in Brussels. Christian Ehler, a German member of the European Parliament who leads research legislation, issued a late-night statement calling Ferraris actions a window-dressing public relations stand on the coronavirus crisis and it was a contradiction to the legal basis of the ERC.

Other sources said the agencys governing body, the 21-member Scientific Council, had decided days earlier to ask for Ferraris resignation. Among the issues was a belief that he was spending too much time on non-ERC, private activities.

The Commission issued a statement confirming Ferraris immediate resignation and noting that his contract as ERC president only gave him the legal powers of a special advisor to the Commission. Legally, it said, the Scientific Council defines the scientific funding strategy and methodologies of the ERC. It went on to thank him for the strong personal investment he made in the months leading up to his appointment 1 January.

When he took office on 1 January, Ferrari was allowed to continue some outside activities back in the US, where he had built his career in engineering, nanotechnology and medicine. Among these was a paid board position at a US biotech company, Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals. He also continued as an affiliate professor in pharmaceutical science at the University of Washington. But the arrangement was unusual for an agency like the ERC, and had already prompted some outside criticism. As European nations began entering COVID-19 lockdown last month, he was in the US, where his grown children work.

A Commission spokesman late on 7 April confirmed Ferraris resignation, but declined to elaborate. Ferrari couldnt be reached immediately for direct comment, but the Financial Times published his statement excoriating the ERC and the Commission.

In the statement, he said that he proposed that the ERC set up a special COVID-19 programme, because at a time like this, the very best scientists in the world should be provided with resources and opportunities to fight the pandemic. He said it was rejected unanimously by the Scientific Council without even considering what shape or form it may take. He added that he was later invited by Commission President Ursula von der Leyen for my input on COVID-19, which created an internal political thunderstorm inside the Commission bureaucracy.

The ERC, by law, funds research proposed directly by scientists based on their own judgment of whats important; they get the money - 2.2 billion in all for 2020 if peer review panels organised by the agency agrees with them. Ferraris statement says he knew his idea for top-down COVID-19 grants ran counter to the agencys normal bottom-up practice, but it was justified by the emergency.

Agency officials declined to comment publicly, but the MEP, Ehler, issued a public defence of the ERC, pushing back at Ferrari.

Besides calling Ferraris COVID-19 plan window-dressing, Ehler said Ferrari was never really acquainting with the independent nature of the ERC. He continued: We are sorry that things have turned out this way for a brilliant researcher and entrepreneur like Mr. Ferrari. However, this should not serve as argument to accuse the ERC or the EU of not doing enough.

The ERC focuses on fundamental rather than applied research and numbers among its existing grantees virologists, epidemiologists and others who have been doing basic research for the agency, and have now joined applied COVID-research teams in the Commissions other programmes.

They include 48.5 million for emergency Horizon 2020 collaborative projects for vaccines, cures and tools; 45 million to its Innovative Medicines Initiative; 80 million in financial support for German vaccine maker Curevac; and up to 164 million in grants to small business with COVID-19 solutions to develop.

On taking office in January, Ferrari quickly unveiled ambitious plans for the ERC. In an interview with Science|Business in February, he spoke enthusiastically of the need for what he called super-disciplinary research, in which scientists break out of their normal disciplines and think across domains. He was also a strong advocate of researchers helping to get their discoveries commercialised and into widespread use something he did repeatedly in his own career.

Ferrari, now 60 years old, is credited as one of the founders of nanomedicine. In 2016, his research team made headlines with a new cancer treatment that uses nanoparticles loaded with a chemotherapeutic to target metastatic cells directly, thereby minimising collateral damage to healthy tissue and allowing more sustained and aggressive treatment. Ferrari has around 480 publications to his name, with over 20,000 citations. He also holds dozens of patents for inventions including different varieties of nanoparticles for drug delivery.

Originally from northern Italy, he studied mathematics at the University of Padua before moving to University of California, Berkeley, where he studied for a masters and a PhD in mechanical engineering. He went on to become an associate professor at Berkeley and moved into medicine when he became a professor of bioengineering and mechanical engineering at Ohio State University.

Ferrari later moved to the MD Anderson Center and the University of Texas Health Science Center in Houston. In 2010 he became president and CEO of the Houston Methodist Research Institute.

Kanazawa University Research: Insights into the Diagnosis and Treatment of Brain Cancer in Children – PR Newswire UK

Wednesday, March 25th, 2020

KANAZAWA, Japan, March 25, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- In a recent study published in Autophagy, researchers at Kanazawa University show how abnormalities in a gene called TPR can lead to pediatric brain cancer.

Ependymoma is a rare form of brain cancer that implicates children and is often tricky to diagnose. Since effective treatment options can be initiated only after a well-formed diagnosis, there is a dire need among the medical community to identify markers for ependymoma, which in turn, will help oncologists tailor therapy better. Richard Wong's and Mitsutoshi Nakada's team at Kanazawa University has now shown how one gene closely linked to ependymoma can help with not just diagnosis, but also treatment options for the condition.

A gene known as TPR shows an elevated presence in 38% of ependymoma cases. Thus, the team first sought out to investigate how an increase in the TPR gene correlated to the development of cancer cells. Each gene present in a cell contains a code for the creation of a specific protein. The TPR gene contains the code for an eponymous protein. Therefore, cancer samples from patients were assessed for the levels of TPR protein. As expected, levels of TPR were abnormally high in these tumor tissues.

The researchers then moved on to investigate whether these abnormal TPR levels could lead to cancer progression. For this purpose, mice were implanted with human ependymoma cancer tissue into their brains. The TPR gene was then deleted in these tissues so that the mice were unable to create the TPR protein. When the tumor tissues were subsequently analyzed, a reduction of cancer growth was seen. The TPR gene was thus vital for the growth of ependymoma tumors.

Deletion of the TPR protein is known to induce a process called autophagy within cells. Autophagy is initiated when a cell is under undue stress and results in the death of damaged cells. The patient tumor samples, with their high levels of TPR protein, showed little or no presence of autophagy. However, autophagy was remarkably high in the mice with TPR depletion. Ependymoma cells were thus spared of autophagic death due to the increased presence of TPR. These damaged cells continued to grow by circumventing the biological systems set up to keep them in check. The high TPR levels were also accompanied by an increase in HSF-1 and MTOR, molecules which are responsible for cell growth and survival.

Finally, the possibility of lowering TPR levels therapeutically to control the cancer was assessed. The mice were given a drug called rapamycin, which inhibits MTOR. The treatment not only led to decreased TPR levels, but also shrank the tumor tissues within their brains.

"Thus, TPR can serve as a potential biomarker, and MTOR inhibition could be an effective therapeutic approach for ependymoma patients," conclude the researchers. While looking out for increased levels of TPR in patients can help oncologists achieve a more comprehensive diagnosis, reducing TPR levels with the help of drugs can help keep the tumors in check.

Background:

Autophagy: Autophagy, which literally translates to "self-eating" is the self-preservation mechanism of the body to get rid of damaged cells. Autophagy is initiated when an abnormal amount of proteins or toxins build up within a cell, which the cell cannot clear out. Conditions like Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease arise when autophagic mechanisms within the cells start malfunctioning. Impaired autophagy is also known to be implicated in driving various forms of cancer.

Highly bioactive zeolitic imidazolate framework-8capped nanotherapeutics for efficient reversal of reperfusion-induced injury in ischemic stroke -…

Wednesday, March 18th, 2020

Rational design of potent antioxidative agent with high biocompatibility is urgently needed to treat ischemic reperfusion-induced ROS-mediated cerebrovascular and neural injury during ischemia strokes. Here, we demonstrate an in situ synthetic strategy of bioactive zeolitic imidazolate framework-8capped ceria nanoparticles (CeO2@ZIF-8 NPs) to achieve enhanced catalytic and antioxidative activities and improved stroke therapeutic efficacy. This nanosystem exhibits prolonged blood circulation time, reduced clearance rate, improved BBB penetration ability, and enhanced brain accumulation, where it effectively inhibits the lipid peroxidation in brain tissues in middle cerebral artery occlusion mice and reduces the oxidative damage and apoptosis of neurons in brain tissue. CeO2@ZIF-8 also suppresses inflammation- and immune responseinduced injury by suppressing the activation of astrocytes and secretion of proinflammatory cytokines, thus achieving satisfactory prevention and treatment in neuroprotective therapy. This study also sheds light on the neuroprotective action mechanisms of ZIF-8capped nanomedicine against reperfusion-induced injury in ischemic stroke.

Nanobiotix activities and achievements in 2019

Clinical

First ever radioenhancer to receive European market approval

In April 2019, the Company announced that Hensify received European market approval enabling commercialization in 27 European Union countries for the treatment of locally advanced soft tissue sarcoma (STS). Hensify is the brand name for NBTXR3 as approved for the treatment of locally advanced STS.

In July 2019, results from the randomized Phase II/III trial evaluating NBTXR3 in patients with locally advanced STS were published in The Lancet Oncology. The data from the registration study (Act.In.Sarc) demonstrated a significant advantage in both pathological complete response (pCR) and rate of margin-negative resection (R0) for those treated with NBTXR3 activated by radiation therapy (RT) versus RT alone. Data showed that an increase in efficacy was achieved with the addition of NBTXR3, without a significant difference in the safety profile compared to RT alone.

NBTXR3 may present as a valuable option for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma or liver metastasis

During an oral presentation at the ASTRO 2019 annual meeting, Nanobiotix announced phase I results in liver cancer. The study showed promising signs of efficacy for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients, as every evaluable patient responded and over half (62.5%) reached complete response. Moreover, given that the safety profile was very good, a 5th dose escalation level has been added to the trial.

Clinical collaboration(s)

MD Anderson

In January 2019, the Company announced a clinical collaboration with MD Anderson. This agreement expanded the clinical development plan for NBTXR3, as the nine MD Anderson-led trials will evaluate the product in new indications and patient populations, and should involve around 340 patients.

Pre-clinical collaboration(s)

MD Anderson and Weill Cornell Medical College

At AACR 2019, Nanobiotix presented pre-clinical data from studies currently being conducted through its collaborations with MD Anderson and the Weill Cornell Medical College, demonstrating the efficacy of treatment combinations including NBTXR3, radiotherapy, and anti-PD-1 immunotherapy in treating resistant pre-clinical in vivo lung cancer models.

In November during SITC 2019, Nanobiotix announced new results from an in vivo pre-clinical study showing the generation of adaptive immune response (turning cold tumors into hot tumors), better local control, increased abscopal effect, and significantly increased survival for NBTXR3 activated by RT and anti-PD-1 in combination versus RT alone in combination with anti-PD-1. Additionally, an in vivo RadScopal model showed superior local control along with significant increases in abscopal effect and survival for treatments combining NBTXR3 activated by RT with anti-PD-1 and anti-CTLA-4 versus all other tested combinations.

Financial Events

Registered public offering in the United States

Nanobiotix announced that it planned to conduct a registered public offering of ordinary shares, including in the form of American Depositary Shares (ADSs) in the United States, and has confidentially submitted a draft registration statement on Form F-1 to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.2

UA developing wearable technology to measure sweat ‘biomarkers’ – Tucson Local Media

Wednesday, March 4th, 2020

Researchers at the University of Arizona are developing wearable technology to analyze sweat, which may remove the need to draw blood to learn about the bodys functions in multiple situations.

The project is funded by an 18-month, $519,000 grant from the SEMI Nano-Bio Materials Consortium. The project falls at the crossroads of multiple academic fields, including engineering, chemistry and medicine, and has two main goals: develop a patch to reliably collect the sweat, and develop a biochemistry sensor to analyze the sweat.

When physicians take blood samples, the blood is tested for "biomarkers" which are indicators of medical phenomena like disease or infection. Sweat contains its own index of biomarkers, and collecting it presents a unique series of challenges and advantages.

No matter what molecule you measure in sweat, you need to determine how it relates to the physiological status of the individual, says co-investigator Esther Sternberg, who serves as research director for the Andrew Weil Center for Integrative Medicine and UA professor of medicine. In order to measure the status of the immune system without stressing an individual, one needed to get at immune molecules in a different way than drawing blood, because if you draw blood you need to stick a needle in a person, and thats a stressor If youre trying to understand how the stress response affects the immune response, you need to have a noninvasive, unobtrusive way of measuring the status of the immune response.

Sternberg began working with biomarkers in sweat 20 years ago while working at National Institutes of Health. She says one of the reasons she was drawn to the UA was because of interdisciplinary research projects such as this.

Part of understanding biomarkers in sweat involves using a sweat correlation lab where subjects use exercise bikes to have their sweat collected in a controlled environment.

Were able to relate the levels of the different biomarkers to the exact amount of stress that their bodies are experiencing because we correlate them with heart rate, heart rate variability, breathing and other well-standardized methods to accurately measure the activity of the brain and bodys stress response, Sternberg says. Just measuring the molecules is just the tip of the iceberg, you need to correlate them with all these different measures of the status of the physiological stress response in order to understand what they mean and have actionable results.

One of the first hurdles is how to accurately and quickly collect the sweat. According to project principal investigator Erin Ratcliff, a materials science and engineering professor and head of the UA Laboratory for Interface Science of Printable Electronic Materials, the obvious idea to collect sweat would be to make a patch to gather information from multiple pores at once. However, this means waiting for the space between the patch and skin to fill up with sweat, and during that time, the molecules and biomarkers can chemically change, altering important information.

Ratcliff became involved in this project five years ago, and her role is to convert the biomarkers into an electronic signal that devices use. Current wearable technologies, such as a FitBit, measure bodily data like EKG and heart rate, but dont measure the molecules behind the stress responses, such as cortisol or neuropeptide Y.

Part of the project uses a virtual sweat sensing lab which is a computer simulation that allows researchers to input information about biomarkers, printable materials and device architectures to determine what the output of a sensor would be before they ever make it.

The prototypes that will come out of this 18-month project will be laboratory level with the idea that the components will lead to a product stream for a particular company, but were not going to make thousands of them, Ratcliff says.

While Sternberg says measuring sweat has a tremendous and very wide applicability to many different diseases, it will not completely remove the need to draw blood.

Youre getting information from two different compartments of the body; the blood tells you whats going on in the blood and circulatory system, and sweat tells you whats going on in the tissues and peripheral nervous system I believe this will enhance information and give you information that is not present when you only measure molecules in blood, Sternberg says. Ultimately there may be circumstances in which collecting sweat and collecting molecules from sweat will replace the need to measure the molecules in blood, and in other cases to get a full picture of whats happening in the body, you may need to measure sweat, blood, saliva, urine and on and on.

The U.S. Department of Defense measures "technology readiness" throughout nine levels. According to Ratcliff, the team is aiming for the technology to be at level four at the end of this project. Technology Readiness Level Four means that "basic technological components are integrated to establish that they will work together.

This speaks to the importance of academe and industry working together in an unbiased way, together with federal agencies, to solve complex problems which cant be solved only on the academic side or only on the industry side, Sternberg says. This is an interdisciplinary, multi-college collaboration with an engineer of materials science in Erin Ratcliff, a chemist Ray Runyon, and myself a physician When youre talking about cutting-edge, frontier science, that is the way science has to be done.
