Innovation Economy Council formed to drive Canada’s technology economy post-pandemic – Canada NewsWire

Wednesday, April 29th, 2020

New collective voice for the ecosystem launches first white paper

TORONTO, April 28, 2020 /CNW/ - The founders of the newly established Innovation Economy Council (IEC) MaRS, OCE, Communitech, DMZ, Invest Ottawa and CCRM have published the group's first white paper: The post-viral pivot: How Canada's tech startups can drive the recovery from COVID-19.

The IEC was formed as an informal coalition of industry leaders advocating on behalf of startup ventures at the beginning of the COVID-19 crisis, and is looking at how Canada's established companies should work with innovators to navigate a post-COVID-19 world. Going forward, the new council will produce white papers and host events to help shape a new industrial innovation policy for the country.

The IEC's inaugural report was authored by Barrie McKenna, former Globe and Mail columnist, with data and analytics by Nigel Biggar. It examines how Canada's startups are best positioned to lead Canada's post-COVID-19 recovery, well beyond the bounds of the startup ecosystem itself and the consequences if they aren't adequately supported. The report findings show that all sectors of the Canadian economy depend on a vast supply chain of technology companies to meet needs in such areas as cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, data privacy, e-commerce, clean technology and advanced manufacturing. These companies also have some of the highest rates of productivity and generate more economic output for every hour worked. A disproportionate share of job losses in these advanced industries would damage productivity nationwide.

The white paper also highlights essential startups that have shifted gears during the pandemic to meet new demands and opportunities. Companies that pivot with their clients are best positioned to help the Canadian economy bounce back. The IEC recommends that governments work together to design a new industrial innovation policy that supports the leading startups and industries that can help fuel the economic recovery post-pandemic.

Key findings include:

Tech startups already drive employment and growth

Startups help advanced industries punch above their weight

After COVID-19, startups will help established corporations pivot

The IEC recommends the federal and provincial governments collaborate to implement stimulus measures that will build the physical and digital infrastructure that serve as the foundation for Canada's economy over the coming decades and incentivize technology adoption. In addition to ensuring that Canada has the necessary channels to get products to market, Canadian companies must be leaders in the global digital marketplace. Policies should also focus on enhancing the resilience of domestic supply chains and promote collaboration between Canadian firms.

IEC Founders:

"Canada's economic recovery from COVID-19 will be led by our high growth, tech and innovation companies. If you map the ventures we work with to employment growth, the tech and innovation sectors have grown dramatically over the past two years, materially outpacing traditional industries. All sectors of our economy depend on our purpose-driven ventures to stay connected and nimble in times of enormous change. And we must have a cohesive game plan that is informed by data and evidence-based insights, reflecting the voices of our entrepreneurs, to drive smart policy decisions that give entrepreneurs every possible opportunity as they create sustainable economic advantage for our nation. Now more than ever, we need innovators to chart a bold new future for Canada."

Yung Wu, CEO, MaRS

"The health of our economy is inextricably linked to the health of our innovation ecosystem highlighting the critical role the tech sector plays in the robust, interconnected supply chain that drives our economic strength. As global supply chains experience massive disruption, the ability of our startups and SMEs to collaborate and pivot is a central force in fostering economic recovery and resilience. By ensuring Ontario companies have the support, talent and tools they need, we can accelerate our transformation to the digital economy, fuel development of Made-in-Ontario solutions and expand the local talent required to emerge as a global leader in technology innovation."

Claudia Krywiak, president and CEO, Ontario Centres of Excellence

"The Innovation Economy Council represents a crucial next step in the development of Canada's innovation sector, so we can help our province and country win in the new economy. We intend to play a leading role in helping our country transition to a more secure, technologically advanced economy that breeds highly successful and dynamic firms, sectors, and supply chains."

Iain Klugman, president and CEO, Communitech

"Canada's startup community galvanized to create common good in order to support its ecosystem through the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, our lobbying efforts have seen more inclusive programming for small businesses across the country. We are the nation with the greatest immediate capabilities to make a positive difference. We can't miss the opportunity to focus on the positive difference we can make and continue to bring our talent and innovation to the world."

Abdullah Snobar, executive director, DMZ

"As the COVID-19 pandemic emerged, the world was well into the fourth industrial revolution, characterized by the fusion of digital, physical and biological worlds. Startups were driving specialized tech into every facet of our economy. This is an economic watershed moment for Canada. As a nation, we can re-emerge as leaders, building on years of systematic tech startup cultivation and investment. To lead in this new world economy, we must protect and leverage Canada's tech startups to drive innovation, growth and job creation. The choices we make today will define Canada's economic future."

Michael Tremblay, president and CEO, Invest Ottawa and Bayview Yards

"Canada is a leader in the science of regenerative medicine, including cell and gene therapy. Our growing ability to offer biomanufacturing and health care delivery in this sector will help propel the nation beyond being generators of licensable IP towards sustainable economic and health benefits and global leadership in the life sciences."

Michael May, president and CEO, CCRM

About the Innovation Economy Council The Innovation Economy Council is an independent voice for the innovation ecosystem founded by MaRS Discovery District, Ontario Centres of Excellence, Communitech, DMZ, CCRM and Invest Ottawa. It brings together entrepreneurs and leaders from industry, academia and the investment community to drive Canada's industrial innovation policy.

Face Masks: What to know, and how to sew your own – Greensboro News & Record

Saturday, April 18th, 2020

What to know

The CDC is recommending that everyone wear a cloth mask when going out in public. The Manufacturing Development Center at the Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine, part of Wake Forest Baptist, recently conducted tests of about 400 cloth masks made by community volunteers. The tests looked at how well various types of material filtered out particles the size of many viruses and bacteria (0.3-1.0 microns in diameter). The effectiveness of the masks varied widely, with the best reaching 79% filtration compared to surgical masks at 62% to 65% filtration and N95 masks at 97%. However, according to Dr. Scott Segal, the chair of anesthesiology at Wake Forest Baptist and the originator of the tests, the worst-performing masks filtered out only 1% of particles. Here are some of the findings and other recommendations from Segal.

Tight weave fabric that doesnt show much light passing through is a good performing design.

Best materials and designs

Two layers of high-quality, heavyweight quilters cotton with a thread count of 180 or more

Fabrics with an especially tight weave and thicker thread, such as batiks or heavy T-shirt fabric

Double-layer mask with a simple cotton outer layer and an inner layer of flannel

A lower grade cotton (more open weave) with light passing through is a poorer performing design.

Inferior materials and designs

Single-layer masks

Double-layer designs using lower quality, lightweight cotton

Fabric used in breathable T-shirts designed to be porous

How can you tell suitable fabric?

Use the light test: If you hold the fabric up to a bright light, it shouldnt be easy to see light coming through it, and you shouldnt see a lot of light outlining the weave.

Other things to know

Masks are mostly to protect other people by reducing the chance an infected wearer can spread virus droplets by sneezing or coughing, even before they show other symptoms. However, masks can provide some protection for an uninfected wearer, depending on effectiveness.

Segal recommends using a design with ties over elastic loops, because ties can provide a tighter and more customizable fit. It can also be difficult to find elastic, and elastic can break down with repeated washings.

A well-fitting mask is likely to feel a bit uncomfortable and stuffy when wearing it. Wearing a mask takes some getting used to even for medical professionals, Segal said. You could try wearing a mask in your house first to get adjusted to it.

Dont touch your face after positioning the mask, and dont adjust the mask while youre out. This could spread any virus particles that get on the mask.

Its important to be able to breathe through the mask, and very thick fabric or HEPA vacuum bags could make that difficult. If a person cant breathe through the mask, theyre likely either to ditch the mask or to breathe around the sides of it, Segal said, defeating the purpose of wearing a mask.

Some vacuum bags and filter materials contain fiberglass threads, which could be dangerous to inhale.

Some mask designs utilize a pocket for a replaceable filter. The Baptist study didnt find that a filter added much more effectiveness to already good designs, but Segal said that some places have had success with them, so they are an option.

Even if a masks material isnt the best, something is generally better than nothing when it comes to covering your face.

NOTE

Homemade masks are no substitute for staying home, social distancing and proper handwashing technique (at least 20 seconds with soap and water). Those are still the best ways to fight the COVID-19 virus. Dont let wearing a mask give you a false sense of security or entice you to relax your social distancing.

What youll need

Removing and caring for masks

Wash hands after removing the mask and after changing the interior filter, if your mask has one. Change the filter after every time you go out.

Moisture from your breath makes the mask less effective, so dont reuse a wet mask.

Untie by the straps. Dont touch the front of the mask as you remove it.

Wash masks in the washing machine with detergent in hot water after use.

TissueTech Receives Regenerative Medicine Advanced Therapy (RMAT) Designation from US Food and Drug Administration – PRNewswire

Saturday, April 18th, 2020

MIAMI, April 16, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- TissueTech, Inc., the pioneer in the development and clinical application of regenerative human birth tissue products, announced today that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted their cryopreserved human umbilical cord investigational biologic product TTAX02 RMAT designation for the treatment of spina bifida in-utero.

This designation aims to streamline development of regenerative medical products used in the FDA's Investigational New Drug (IND) program for the treatment of serious or life-threatening diseases such as spina bifida. In spina bifida, the spinal canal opens along vertebrae in the lower or middle back of the fetus. It is the most common neural tube defect in the U.S. and is characterized by incomplete development of the brain, spinal cord, and/or protective covering around the brain and spinal cord.1

"Although rare, patients who suffer from open spina bifida have a ten times greater death rate than the national average from ages five to 40 years,"2 said Amy Tseng, TissueTech Co-Founder, President and Chief Executive Officer. "This RMAT designation highlights the need for an effective treatment for this life-threatening condition and the great potential TTAX02 holds."

The benefits of in-utero fetal surgery are promising and include less exposure of the vulnerable spinal nerve tissue and bone to the intrauterine environment. Additionally, doctors have discovered that in-utero fetal surgical repair of spina bifida may positively affect fetal hindbrain development in-utero, decreasing the severity of certain complicationssuch as Chiari II and hydrocephalusor reduce the need for surgery to implant a shunt.1

In addition to the RMAT designation, TissueTech is also planning to conduct a Phase 3 clinical trial to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of TTAX02 when used as a single patch to cover the neural placode, or a dual patch to close both the skin and meningeal defects during in-utero fetal surgical repair of spina bifida, to determine if it may improve clinically meaningful neurological outcomes after birth.

About TissueTech, Inc.TissueTech, Inc.,the parent company of Amniox Medical, Inc. and Bio-Tissue, Inc., pioneered the development and clinical application of human birth tissue-based products. Founded in 1997, Bio-Tissue markets products for the ophthalmology and optometry markets; and Amniox markets products for use in the musculoskeletal and wound care markets. Clinicians have performed more than 500,000 human implants with the company's products and published more than 360 peer-reviewed studies supporting its technology platform. The Company's first product, AmnioGraft, is the only tissue graft designated by the FDA as homologous use for promoting ophthalmic wound healing as acting as an anti-scarring, anti-inflammatory and anti-angiogenic agent and supporting epithelial adhesion and differentiation.

Preclinical Study Showing Beneficial Effects of Cymerus MSCs in Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome Accepted for Publication in Leading Peer-Reviewed…

Saturday, April 18th, 2020

MELBOURNE, Australia, April 17, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --Cynata Therapeutics Limited (ASX: CYP), a clinical-stage biotechnology company specialising in cell therapeutics, is pleased to announce that a scientific paper describing the use of Cymerus mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in a model of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) has been accepted for publication in the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine (AJRCCM).1The AJRCCM, commonly known as The Blue Journal, is widely regarded as the foremost peer-reviewed journal in the field of respiratory and critical care medicine.

Background

The study was conducted in 14 sheep with severe ARDS supported by extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), which were given an endobronchial infusion of either Cymerus MSCs (n=7) or placebo (n=7). Animals were monitored and supported for 24 hours, at which time the study concluded.

ARDS is an inflammatory process leading to build-up of fluid in the lungs and respiratory failure. It can occur due to a range of insults, including infection, trauma and inhalation of noxious substances. It has received significant global attention in recent times, as it is one of the most serious complications experienced by patients suffering from COVID-19. ARDS accounts for approximately 10% of all ICU admissions and almost 25% of patients requiring mechanical ventilation, and results in hospital mortality ofup to 46%.2 In addition, survivors of ARDS are often left with severe long-term illness and disability.3

ECMO is a last-line intervention used in patients whose lungs are unable to provide an adequate amount of oxygen to the blood, despite the use of ventilators and other interventions. ECMO circulates blood through an artificial lung, oxygenating the blood before returning it to the patients circulation. ECMO can help support the vital organs in patients with severe ARDS, but it is not in itself a treatment for ARDS and the mortality among patients supported by it remains high.

This study was conducted independently of Cynata by a group of leading academics known as the Combining Extracorporeal Life Support and Cell Therapy in Critical Illness (CELTIC)Investigators, led by Professor John Fraser of the Critical Care Research Group, The Prince Charles Hospital, Brisbane. The study was funded by the Queensland Government, the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC), the Intensive Care Society UK, and the Prince Charles Hospital Foundation.

Key Results

Cymerus MSC treatment was shown to exert a number of important beneficial effects in this study:

There were no statistically significant differences in oxygenation index between groups. The authors of the paper suggested that this may have been due to the severity of the lung injury induced; the fact that the observation period may have been too short to observe all beneficial effects of the treatment; and practical challenges performing these assessments during ECMO.

The authors also observed that a different dose regimen and/or route of administration could lead to further improved outcomes.

The study also found that MSCs adhere to the membranes in the ECMO device, resulting in a significant increase in pressure, and there was a higher incidence of thrombosis in the lungs observed post-mortem. While this did not lead to failure of the ECMO device or other observed adverse events, the study team considered that it could potentially do so, and therefore concluded that they cannot currently recommend the use of MSCs in combination with ECMO. It is important to note that this finding is relevant to MSCs in general (regardless of source), as it is related to the propensity of MSCs to adhere to plastic, but it does not have implications for the treatment of patients with ARDS who are NOT receiving ECMO.

Dr Kilian Kelly, Cynatas Chief Operating Officer, commented:

We are very encouraged by the beneficial effects of Cymerus MSCs on a number of important, clinically-relevant endpoints in this model of ARDS. These results provide valuable guidance on the potential clinical utility of Cymerus MSCs in the treatment of ARDS. It is also very useful to learn more about the practical mechanical challenges associated with administering MSCs at the same time as ECMO, but it is important to note that most patients with ARDS do not receive ECMO. Furthermore, in humans with ARDS who are not receiving ECMO, we expect to be able to administer repeated intravenous infusions of MSCs, which may have advantages compared to the approach that was taken in this preclinical study. We are currently in discussions with leading key opinion leaders about a possible clinical trial in human patients with ARDS, including those who have developed ARDS as a result of the devastating COVID19 pandemic.

New England Journal of Medicine Publishes Pivotal Results Evaluating Sunovion’s SEP-363856 for the Treatment of Schizophrenia – Business Wire

Saturday, April 18th, 2020

MARLBOROUGH, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sunovion Pharmaceuticals Inc. (Sunovion) today announced that results of a four-week pivotal study (SEP361-201) evaluating the safety and efficacy of SEP-363856 in patients with schizophrenia were published online in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM).

In this study, once-daily, flexible-dose (50-75 mg) treatment with SEP-363856 demonstrated a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) total score compared to placebo after four weeks of treatment (-17.2 vs. -9.7, respectively; p=0.001). Patients treated with SEP-363856 also showed improvement in the overall severity of illness as assessed by the Clinical Global Impression Scale - Severity (CGI-S) (p<0.001). In addition, improvement was observed in all major PANSS (positive, negative and general psychopathology) subscales (p<0.02). SEP-363856 was well tolerated throughout the study and the overall discontinuation rate was comparable for SEP-363856 and placebo.1

These data represent an exciting step forward in schizophrenia research. The steps that led to identifying this new mechanism of action, targeting TAAR1, were very novel and they reflected a courageous and innovative approach by Sunovion to identifying new ways to treat schizophrenia, said John Krystal, M.D., Chair of Psychiatry and Co-Director, Yale Center for Clinical Investigation at Yale School of Medicine and co-author of the NEJM publication. For the last 60 years, antipsychotics that bind to dopamine receptors have been the standard of care, despite their side effect profile. It is my hope that these results for SEP-363856 support a new schizophrenia treatment for people who have been diagnosed with this serious mental health condition. SEP-363856 could have a big impact on people with schizophrenia, their families, and on the public health burden posed by schizophrenia.

SEP-363856 is a novel trace amine-associated receptor 1 (TAAR1) agonist with serotonin 1A (5-HT1A) agonist activity that is being evaluated in patients with schizophrenia. SEP-363856 does not bind to dopamine 2 (D2) or serotonin 2A (5-HT2A) receptors, which are thought to mediate the effects of currently available atypical antipsychotic medicines. SEP-363856 is being studied in the DIAMOND (Developing Innovative Approaches for Mental Disorders) Phase 3 global development program for schizophrenia with additional indications under consideration. The U.S. FDA granted Breakthrough Therapy Designation for SEP-363856 for the treatment of schizophrenia in May 2019.

Publication of these findings in the New England Journal of Medicine demonstrates the potential of SEP-363856 to be the first TAAR1 agonist for the treatment of schizophrenia, said Kenneth Koblan, PhD, Chief Scientific Officer of Sunovion. This innovative approach to the treatment of schizophrenia may provide a completely new option for the 23 million people worldwide who live with this serious mental health condition. Sunovion is committed to developing new treatment options for these patients and continuing to study SEP-363856 to further evaluate its clinical benefit in schizophrenia and other neuropsychiatric conditions.

As noted in the NEJM publication, in the six-month, open-label extension study, SEP-363856 demonstrated continued improvement across efficacy measures, including the PANSS total score, the CGI-S score, and the Brief Negative Symptom Scale (BNSS) total score and appeared to be safe and well-tolerated.

About SEP-363856SEP-363856 is a TAAR1 agonist with 5-HT1A agonist activity that is under investigation for the treatment of schizophrenia and other psychiatric conditions. Sunovion discovered SEP-363856 in collaboration with PsychoGenics based in part on a mechanism-independent approach using the in vivo phenotypic SmartCube platform and associated artificial intelligence algorithms. SEP-363856 is being studied in a global Phase 3 development program for schizophrenia (DIAMOND) with additional indications under consideration. The U.S. FDA granted Breakthrough Therapy Designation for SEP-363856 for schizophrenia in May 2019.

Predictive Submits Emergency Use Authorization Application for Treatment of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome Secondary to COVID -19 with Umbilical…

Saturday, April 18th, 2020

SALT LAKE CITY, April 13, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Predictive Biology, a wholly owned subsidiary of Predictive Technology Group (OTC PINK: PRED) (Predictive or The Company), announced that on April 9th it submitted an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) application with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the immediate use of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) derived from umbilical cord tissue for the treatment of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS), secondary to SARS-CoV-2, coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).

The pandemic caused by COVID-19 has shown to develop into severe ARDS in 30% of hospitalized patients with a 22%-62% mortality rate (Murthy et al., 2020) for those requiring hospitalization in an intensive care unit. Currently, there is no confirmed treatment that can demonstrate safety or efficacy for the treatment of COVID-19.

Coronavirus can be deadly, in large part because the virus can cause cytokine storms in which the patients own immune system triggers a runaway response causing more damage to the patient, than to the virus it's trying to eliminate, said John Sorrentino, Chairman of Predictive Technology Group. Respiratory distress kills hundreds of thousands of people each year worldwide. There is clinical data from early clinical trials that seem to indicate that the avoidance of the cytokine storm utilizing MSCs may be a critical component for the treatment of COVID-19 infected patients.

A recent review article published in Pain Physician, concluded that, The limited but emerging evidence regarding UC MSC [umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells] in managing COVID-19 suggests that it might be considered for compassionate use in critically ill patients to reduce morbidity and mortality in the United States.

The proposed IND clinical trial will utilize Predictives proprietary core technology of naturally occurring MSCs derived from umbilical cord tissue (UC-MSCs) to assess the efficacy as an add-on therapy to standard treatment of patients with severe Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) secondary to COVID-19.

Predictives UC MSC product, CoreCyte, [currently regulated by the FDA as a tissue-based product under 21 CFR 1271.3(d)(1) and Section 361 of the Public Health Service Act] has already beenused as an allograft in over50,000 patients. Physicians have reported to Predictive that over 1,100 patients have been treated with CoreCyte via intravenous administration. No serious adverse events have been reported with CoreCyte regardless of the route of administration. If Predictives EUA request is approved, CoreCyte would be available immediately to critically ill patients with ARDS due to COVID-19 infections.

Los Angeles Periodontists use blood-derived growth factors as an alternative to treating gum recession – PRNewswire

Thursday, April 16th, 2020

Gum recession puts patients at risk of developing decay, causes tooth sensitivity, and creates an unattractive smile. "Gum recession is most commonly caused by gum disease, which affects nearly 65 million Americans annually. Many patients avoid treatment because of the painful, invasive nature of a gum graft that typically uses gum tissue from the roof of the mouth, increasing post-operative pain and suffering. The RejuvaGum Lift offers patients a gentle yet effective alternative to gum grafting, with less recovery time and enhanced healing," says Dr. Alina Krivitsky.

The Brentwood periodontists utilize cutting-edge technology to offer their patients advanced periodontal care. "Several samples of a patient's blood are spun in a centrifuge to separate the platelets, white blood cells and fibrin. When applied directly to a wound, the proteins in the fibrin encourage faster healing by causing the wound to close more quickly, and increase blood flow to the site. The extra boost of stem cells and growth factors assist in soft tissue regeneration around the exposed roots, and by utilizing the patient's own immune system to heal, the risk of infection is almost none," says Dr. Aalam.

To learn more about the RejuvaGum Lift treatment for gum recession, please visit https://implantperiocenter.com/or contact them at 310-504-1845.

About the CENTER for Advanced Periodontal & Implant Therapy

At the CENTER for Advanced Periodontal & Implant Therapy, Dr. Aalam and Dr. Krivitsky utilize advanced technology coupled with cutting-edge techniques to provide minimally-invasive, comfortable and effective periodontal care. As the only dual-board certified practice in Brentwood, California, they are committed to providing restorative periodontal therapies to rejuvenate the aesthetics, health, and function of the gums and teeth, to help patients achieve a healthier smile.

Dr Jane Osbourn OBE was also the first female to win the Lifetime Achievement Award, recognizing her significant contributions to the biotech industry. Mogrifys significant fundraising success was also marked at the prestigious European Lifestars Awards, which celebrates excellence in the life science industry. Here, Mogrify was recognized as the Seed Stage Finance Raise of the Year.MC: In Mogrify's opinion, what key trends can we expect to see in the cell therapy space in 2020?JF: Many of the current approaches to cell therapy involve first converting cells back into a stem cell-like stateinduced pluripotent stem cellsbefore then converting them into the cell type required.Mogrify plans to lead the movement towards direct cell conversion, or transdifferentiation, where cells can be transformed from one cell type to another, without having to go through an intermediate pluripotent stage. Direct conversion of cells would enhance the speed of cell therapy development, as cells do not need to use traditional developmental pathways to reach a mature state.

Another bottleneck in the delivery of cell therapies is that most approaches rely on autologous transplants, which are carried out using patient-derived cells. Future innovations are moving towards using allogeneic therapies, where the cells used for therapy are derived from a healthy donor. Such advances are paving the way towards the development of universal donor cells, which would turn cell therapies into off-the-shelf treatments, enhancing the scale and accessibility of the treatments.

Finally, cell therapy methods are likely to move from ex vivo approaches (where cells are isolated from the patient, reprogrammed, and delivered back into the patient), to in vivo approaches, where cell therapies are delivered directly to the recipient, for example, through the use of small molecules present in a reprogramming cocktail or direct gene editing. In vivo technologies would, therefore, be able to reprogram cells directly in living humans, expanding the scope of cell therapy in a clinical setting. Overall, future cell therapies will have the capacity to be more effective, safer, and widely accessible.

MC: What are the key challenges that currently exist when developing and testing cell therapies? How does Mogrify hope to overcome such challenges?JF: The biggest challenges in producing cell therapies surround the efficacy, safety profile, and scalability of clinical treatment regimes. To make treatments safer, delivered cells must bypass the host immune system. This can be achieved with autologous therapy, but comes at the cost of scale and efficiency, as the patients cells need to be extracted, cultured, and reprogrammed before treatment can be delivered. Genetic engineering technologies (such as CRISPR/Cas9) that can be employed to remove the antigenic potential of allogeneic cell therapies (e.g. CAR-T) can be used in conjunction with such treatments, but this brings an additional layer of complication.Another difficulty comes from the technical challenges associated with generating, culturing, and expanding the required cells. In theory, any cell type can be derived from pluripotent cells. However, determining precisely how to generate any cell from pluripotent cells is conceptually and practically complex. Each cell type would require a distinct combination of transcription factors (or small molecules) and optimized culture conditions to ensure robust conversion into the desired phenotype. These technical challenges are associated with slow progress and poor efficiency in deriving reliable therapeutic cells.

Mogrify aims to tackle these hurdles with solutions involving big data, computational predictions, and bioinformatics. Mogrifys proprietary algorithm uses next generation sequencing data to predict the combination of transcription factors necessary to reliably convert any cell type into another cell type. Mogrifys technology provides a framework for direct cell conversion, and can also identify the best culture conditions to ensure that the cell populations remain stable and viable. This greatly improves cell therapy efficiency, as mature cells are created without the often arduous and imprecise process of differentiating cells from pluripotency.

Mogrifys technology is also compatible with in vivo cell therapies, as it can identify a combination of small molecules that will drive the necessary transcriptional networks to create the cells of choice. Therefore, Mogrifys technology can also be applied to overcome safety issues associated with allogeneic ex vivo approaches, and has the potential to greatly enhance the scale at which cell therapies can be delivered.MC: Are you able to tell us more about the latest developments in Mogrify's pipeline?JF: Currently, Mogrify is focused on applying the platform to musculoskeletal disorders, cancer immunotherapy, and auto-immune, ocular and respiratory diseases. Specifically, Mogrify is committed to identifying opportunities in regenerative medicine contexts, where direct cell conversion could have strong therapeutic potential.The current lead musculoskeletal program is in the development of chondrocytes for the treatment of cartilage defects and osteoarthritis. Mogrifys platform identified a cocktail of small molecules that successfully drives the conversion of fibroblast cells to chondrocytes, which has been proven to form functional hyaline cartilage in vitro. This can even be performed using an allogeneic approach without the need for gene editing (as the cartilage is immunopriviliged). Thus, it represents an opportunity for an off-the-shelf therapy that could be a relatively inexpensive and accessible treatment. At present, this treatment is in pre-clinical stages, and has a powerful potential for success in regenerative cartilage therapy. Similarly, an in vivo method of transdifferentiating osteoarthritic chondrocytes to healthy cells is being investigated in ongoing studies using a cocktail of small molecules.

Community resilience is facing Its greatest threat, and colleges are helping | Opinion – pennlive.com

Thursday, April 16th, 2020

Throughout history, the nations colleges and universities have set the foundation for innovation and social change. Weve uncovered the secrets of DNA. Weve unleashed bioengineering. We have harnessed intellectual power to create new technologyoften through the partnerships between land grant colleges and local industries and agriculturebringing the latest science to where it was needed. And we have done it all while demanding intellectual rigor and a sharp focus on the common good for society.

At Boston University, the Center for Regenerative Medicine at BUs Medical Center, alerted by colleagues at the University of Washington in Seattle, coordinated with MITs Broad Institute as well as Harvard to produce a test for the virus with a turn around time of within 24 hours. More than 50 volunteered in this round the clock effort. Testing is now underway. Rutgers University has launched its own virus testing program. Its RUCDR Infinite Biologicsa part of the Universitys Human Genetics Institute of New Jerseyis now capable of testing tens of thousands.

Tiny Bay Mills Community College, a Michigan tribal college of fewer than 500 students, has used 3-D technology to design and now produce 1,000 face masks for first responders every week.

Institutions of higher education, large and small, can and do play a significant role in serving our country and our world at this critical moment in history. But our work starts at home. Whats required is a community approach, as local areas are impacted in distinct ways while this crisis unfolds.

I learned the power of community response to overwhelming challenges at the American University of Nigeria. I served there as president when Boko Haram began to surge near the campus and federal assistance was nowhere to be found. The university brought the community together and kept the terrorist group at bay and fed refugees.

Drawing on that experience, when I arrived at Dickinson three years ago, I immediately began to gather with community members to identify their most pressing issues and to connect them with college resources. What started out as a dozen people has now grown to more than 50 representing nearly every sectornonprofits, school districts, health care, government and business. We are meeting remotely in the age of COVID-19, but the relationships we have built have allowed us to respond quickly in a coordinated manner to the communitys growing needs.

Working with Carlisle Borough, the Chamber of Commerce and Community CARES partnered to convert the Stuart Community Center into a shelter for the homeless. UPMC Carlisle anticipated a potential need for housing and shelter for its exhausted medical workers; Dickinson stepped up and agreed to make space available in our vacated residence halls. Local businesses needed an online presence to offer goods and services, but lacked the know-how; Dickinson students are developing e-commerce websites for those businesses. Our organic farm is supplying much-needed fresh produce for the community.

Colleges areand should beat the epicenter of community responses to COVID. They can and should be the assembly point for community action. Its imperative that colleges start building or strengthening relationships with leaders in their communities now, to help in recovery and before the next crisis or disaster occurs.

When students return to class, they will return to communities that have changed in myriad ways. The old ideas, approaches and leadership simply wont do. Our students and young people are the ones we will need to help us with the necessary reconstruction. Those students will rely on the knowledge and problem-solving skills our institutions of higher learning should be providing.

In these difficult times, the country must demand much of its colleges and universities. Communities must know that we are in the trenches with you, and that we are all of us prepared to do more. When students return to our campuses we should work together to build a program of national service. This is how we will rebuild America and prepare the next generation for more unprecedented challenges.

Margee M. Ensign is president of Dickinson College, in Carlisle. Previously, Ensign served as president of the American University of Nigeria, where she developed aid and relief programs for hundreds of thousands of internally displaced people fleeing Boko Haram.

New England Journal of Medicine Publishes Pivotal Results Evaluating Sunovion’s SEP-363856 for the Treatment of Schizophrenia – PharmaLive

Thursday, April 16th, 2020

In this study, once-daily, flexible-dose (50-75 mg) treatment with SEP-363856 demonstrated a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) total score compared to placebo after four weeks of treatment (-17.2 vs. -9.7, respectively; p=0.001). Patients treated with SEP-363856 also showed improvement in the overall severity of illness as assessed by the Clinical Global Impression Scale Severity (CGI-S) (p<0.001). In addition, improvement was observed in all major PANSS (positive, negative and general psychopathology) subscales (p<0.02). SEP-363856 was well tolerated throughout the study and the overall discontinuation rate was comparable for SEP-363856 and placebo.1

These data represent an exciting step forward in schizophrenia research. The steps that led to identifying this new mechanism of action, targeting TAAR1, were very novel and they reflected a courageous and innovative approach by Sunovion to identifying new ways to treat schizophrenia, said John Krystal, M.D., Chair of Psychiatry and Co-Director, Yale Center for Clinical Investigation at Yale School of Medicine and co-author of the NEJM publication. For the last 60 years, antipsychotics that bind to dopamine receptors have been the standard of care, despite their side effect profile. It is my hope that these results for SEP-363856 support a new schizophrenia treatment for people who have been diagnosed with this serious mental health condition. SEP-363856 could have a big impact on people with schizophrenia, their families, and on the public health burden posed by schizophrenia.

SEP-363856 is a novel trace amine-associated receptor 1 (TAAR1) agonist with serotonin 1A (5-HT1A) agonist activity that is being evaluated in patients with schizophrenia. SEP-363856 does not bind to dopamine 2 (D2) or serotonin 2A (5-HT2A) receptors, which are thought to mediate the effects of currently available atypical antipsychotic medicines. SEP-363856 is being studied in the DIAMOND (Developing Innovative Approaches for Mental Disorders) Phase 3 global development program for schizophrenia with additional indications under consideration. The U.S. FDA granted Breakthrough Therapy Designation for SEP-363856 for the treatment of schizophrenia in May 2019.

Publication of these findings in the New England Journal of Medicine demonstrates the potential of SEP-363856 to be the first TAAR1 agonist for the treatment of schizophrenia, said Kenneth Koblan, PhD, Chief Scientific Officer of Sunovion. This innovative approach to the treatment of schizophrenia may provide a completely new option for the 23 million people worldwide who live with this serious mental health condition. Sunovion is committed to developing new treatment options for these patients and continuing to study SEP-363856 to further evaluate its clinical benefit in schizophrenia and other neuropsychiatric conditions.

As noted in the NEJM publication, in the six-month, open-label extension study, SEP-363856 demonstrated continued improvement across efficacy measures, including the PANSS total score, the CGI-S score, and the Brief Negative Symptom Scale (BNSS) total score and appeared to be safe and well-tolerated.

About SEP-363856 SEP-363856 is a TAAR1 agonist with 5-HT1A agonist activity that is under investigation for the treatment of schizophrenia and other psychiatric conditions. Sunovion discovered SEP-363856 in collaboration with PsychoGenics based in part on a mechanism-independent approach using the in vivo phenotypic SmartCube platform and associated artificial intelligence algorithms. SEP-363856 is being studied in a global Phase 3 development program for schizophrenia (DIAMOND) with additional indications under consideration. The U.S. FDA granted Breakthrough Therapy Designation for SEP-363856 for schizophrenia in May 2019.

About Schizophrenia Schizophrenia is a chronic, serious and often severely disabling brain disorder that affects more than 23 million people worldwide2 and approximately one in 100 adults (about 2.4 million people) in the United States.3 It is characterized by positive symptoms, such as hallucinations, delusions and disorganized thinking as well as negative symptoms, such as lack of emotion, social withdrawal, lack of spontaneity and cognitive impairment that includes problems with memory, attention and the ability to plan, organize and make decisions.2
