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

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

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

Cumberland Medical & Purple Lotus Aesthetics Partner With Cyto CBD To Address Opioid Epidemic In North Carolina – The Mountaineer

Friday, March 27th, 2020

FAYETTEVILLE, N.C., March 26, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Cyto CBD, the CBD company that created precision medical dosing, is partnering with Cumberland Medical Associates and Purple Lotus Aesthetics to help transition patients from opioid-focused treatments to Cannabidiol (CBD) for chronic pain management.

A highly anticipated study, published in January 2020, in Postgraduate Medicine Journal showed that 53% of chronic pain patients that were on opioids for over a year at least were able to reduce their opioid usage and/or completely discontinue opioids with daily supplementation of CBD in just eight weeks. This is why Dr. Sanjiv Dalvi and his wife, Dr. Sumedha Dalvi, who are both certified Addiction and Regenerative Medicine Specialists, started integrating Cyto CBD into their practice at Cumberland Medical.

"The potential benefits of CBD are undeniable, as we are seeing more and more data to support its use in our chronic pain patients. Additionally, given the holistic nature of the product, we are seeing an improvement in overall quality of life, as patients are getting better sleep and experiencing lower stress levels," said Dr. Sanjiv Dalvi, MD, PhD. "We use Cyto CBD because it is a medical grade product with research to confirm its quality. The company owns the entire production chain, including the farm where the hemp is cultivated, and their pharmaceutical approach to quality gives us confidence in recommending it and using it with our patients."

Cumberland Medical focuses on holistic health, pain management, mental health and sleep medicine. The clinic now serves as a hub where patients can access Cyto CBD products through their team of specialists and/or by purchasing the products in office, for personal use.

"With all of the attention that CBD is getting, it is important to remember that this is a product that is ultimately being ingested or applied to our bodies. That is why CBD products should be no less than medical grade and the reason Cyto CBD is manufactured at facilities that are cGMP certified and fully registered with the FDA," said Dr. Cohin Kakar, Chief Marketing Officer of Cyto CBD. "We are thrilled to bring an alternative therapy to the community in North Carolina that we can confidently endorse as safe with high purity."

Cyto CBD is now available at Cumberland Medical and will be available at their upcoming partner practice, Purple Lotus Aesthetics, scheduled to open in the summer of 2020. To schedule an appointment or learn more, please contact Cumberland Medical at (910) 864-0689 or visit their practice located at 5085 Morganton Road, Suite 100, Fayetteville, NC 28314.

Non-Profit Offers Free Stem Cell Therapy to Veterans – Pain News Network

Friday, March 27th, 2020

By A. Rahman Ford, PNN Columnist

No group is more worthy of the revolutionary benefits of stem cell therapy than Americas military veterans. While the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) thinks the field is in its infancy and much more research is needed before stem cells are offered as treatment, brave practitioners are stepping forward to help veterans NOW.

Dr. Joseph Kanan and his staff at the Tullahoma Chiropractic Center are providing free stem cell therapy for veterans who suffer from chronic pain. Kanan in partnership with Veterans in Pain recently performed his first pro bono procedure on a veteran named Ryan, who has severe hip pain. Stem cell injections into Ryans hip, which are not covered by insurance, normally would have cost $6,500. Ryan got them for free.

I think veterans do a lot for our country and there are very few doctors that are performing medical procedures like this, Kanan told The Tullahoma News. We were very glad to be able to do this for him.

Kanan says his Tennessee clinic performs stem cell therapy for veterans twice a month and has had good results so far. One patient was able to avoid a knee replacement and reported consistent improvement one year after the procedure. Patients can expect to experience 10 percent improvement every month for 10 months.

Veterans in Pain is a non-profit that connects military veterans with civilian physicians who provide free regenerative medicine treatments for chronic pain. VIP has provided $250,000 worth of services since 2019.

VIP founder and president Micaela Bensko is herself a stem cell therapy recipient. She spent years in a wheelchair after an accident in her driveway left her with severe spine damage that led to arachnoiditis, a chronic inflammation of spinal nerves. A friend suggested stem cell therapy, which inspired Bensko to establish VIP as a resource for veterans.

Veterans in Pain connects each veteran with a volunteer physician in their area. If one cannot be located, the cost of transportation and accommodations are covered for treatments, as they were for Ryan. Veterans associated with VIP visit schools, organizations and corporations sharing their story of recovery. Most of VIPs funding is provided by small individual donations, grants and grassroots fundraising.

According to the National Institutes of Health, nearly two-thirds of veterans report having chronic pain, with about 9% having severe pain. Chronic pain among veterans is closely associated with mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, poor sleep and substance abuse disorders. Many veterans suffer from more than one condition.

Because of red tape and a shortage of pain management specialists at the VA, many veterans suffering from chronic pain are left devoid of proper diagnosis and treatment, causing many to self-medicate or search for answers on their own.Chronic pain can lead to substance abuse, a common and growing trend among veterans. A 2017 study found that 30% of military suicides were preceded by alcohol or drug abuse.

The dire plight of military veterans suffering from chronic pain is yet another compelling reason for the FDA to loosen its regulation of stem cell therapy. Our heroes are counting on it.

A. Rahman Ford, PhD, is a lawyer and research professional. He is a graduate of Rutgers University and the Howard University School of Law, where he served as Editor-in-Chief of the Howard Law Journal. Rahman lives with chronic inflammation in his digestive tract and is unable to eat solid food. He has received stem cell treatmentin China.

Purpose: Osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the most common degenerative joint diseases in the world, characterized primarily by the progressive degradation of articular cartilage. Accumulating evidence has shown that Morusin, a flavonoid derived from the root bark of Morus alba (mulberry) plants, exerts unique protective properties in several diseases. However, its effects on OA, specifically, have not yet been characterized.Methods: In this study, we evaluated the anti-inflammatory effect of Morusin on mouse chondrocytes and its underlying mechanism in vitro. In addition, the protective effect of Morusin on destabilization of the medial meniscus (DMM) model was also explored in vivo.Results: In vitro, IL-1-induced activation of inflammatory factors (TNF-, IL-6, INOS and COX2) was dramatically suppressed by Morusin. Further, Morusin treatment inhibited the expression of ADAMTS5 and metalloproteinase (MMPs), both of which regulate extracellular matrix degradation. Morusin also decreased IL-1-induced p65 phosphorylation and IB degradation. In vivo, degradation of the articular cartilage following surgical DMM, which mimicked OA pathology, was abrogated following treatment with Morusin, thus demonstrating a protective effect in the DMM model.Conclusion: Herein, we demonstrate that Morusin reduces the OA inflammatory response in vitro and protects against articular cartilage degradation in vivo potentially via regulation of the NF-B pathway. Hence, Morusin may prove to be an effective candidate for novel OA therapeutic strategies.

Vitro Biopharma First Quarter ended January 31, 2020 Financial Results of Operations – Benzinga

Friday, March 27th, 2020

GOLDEN, CO / ACCESSWIRE / March 26, 2020 / Vitro Diagnostics, Inc. (OTC:VODG), dba Vitro Biopharma, announced its 1st quarter ended January 31st, 2020 financial results of operations.

Vitro Diagnostics Inc. ("Vitro Biopharma") is pleased to announce a record 1st comparative quarter in Total Revenues. Vitro Biopharma recorded 1st quarter revenues of $225,921 vs $192,895 an increase of 17% over the same comparative quarter last year. In addition, Stem Cell treatments accounted for 74% of the revenues up from 71% of the revenues in the prior comparative quarter last year. Current quarter stem cell revenues were $167,750 for the 1st quarter ended January 31, 2020 vs $137,123 for the first quarter ended January 31, 2019.

The company's gross profit margins improved to 75% up from 73% in the comparative prior year's quarter. Gross margin improvement is in line with the strategic direction of the company to expand the market of its flagship product AlloRx Stem Cells. The company's clean-room lab expansion last year and expanded Stem Cell manufacturing using its patent-pending cell line, has increased efficiencies and lowered production costs.

Overall operating expenses increased in the quarter to $193,385 from $147,398 in the prior year's comparative quarter. The increase in expenses reflects additional investment as the Company expands its capability to service its strategic direction of offshore Stem Cell treatments while also expanding into US markets. The company expended additional resources on external consultants supporting our regulatory status in maintaining ISO9001 & ISO13485 certifications, expanding our efforts to approach US markets through FDA filings and advancement of existing patent filings.

The company's first quarter is its most seasonal quarter as the period between Thanksgiving and the New Year is slow for all the company's revenue lines of Nutra Vivo/STEMulize, AlloRx Stem Cells, private labeled InfiniVive-MD Stem Cell Serum and our core research products.

During the quarter the company achieved and pursed the following company objectives

During the quarter the company commenced a Series A Convertible Preferred Stock offering to accredited investors under the SEC Regulation D exemption. The preferred Stock is priced at $25 per share which is convertible at $0.25 cents per share for a total of 100 shares. The minimum investment is $50,000 per unit. The company sold $450,000 of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock during the quarter. The company has additional interest in the offering and subsequent to the quarter has sold an additional $50,000 unit for a total to date of $500,000. The company has additional interested parties for approximately $200,000. The offering is for a total of $1,000,000.

Our partnership with DVC. Stem in the Cayman Islands continued to advance through treatment of new & previous patients. This IRB-approved protocol targets patients with inflammatory conditions including multiple sclerosis, systemic inflammation and new indications including Chrohn's disease, Alzheimer's disease and COPD. To date we have treated 60 patients including repeat treatments. There have been no serious adverse events and we continue to gain evidence of efficacy. One of the initial MS patients has now received a second transplant of our AlloRx Stem Cells and he has reported significant therapeutic benefits of both the initial and subsequent therapy. He had received an earlier transplant of adipose-derived MSCs that was effective, but the improvement lasted 3 months while AlloRx Stem Cell therapy lasted 18 months. We had predicted such a clinical outcome based on significantly higher potency of umbilical cord MSCS compared to those derived from adipose tissue or bone marrow. The Chrohn's disease patient showed significant improvement as did both the AD & COPD patients.

The strategic development of our stem cell therapies involves pursuit of both offshore and domestic markets. The partnership with DVC Stem, our IRB-approved trial in the Bahamas together with other strategic opportunities represent offshore operations & prospects. During Q1 2020, we initiated expansion into US therapeutic markets through development of an Investigational New Drug (IND) application for submission to FDA. Once approved, an IND allows the conduct of clinical trials for specific medical conditions in the US.

Given the current COVID-19 pandemic, our initial IND application is for use of AlloRx Stem Cells in treatment of Coronavirus infections. This is supported by clinical studies showing that 17 critically ill patients responded favorably to IV infusion of umbilical cord-derived MSCs. All patients were receiving assisted ventilation but 3 days following stem cell therapy, were removed from ventilators and subsequently discharged from the hospital. We are pursuing discussions with FDA to establish the appropriate regulatory pathway and expedited review options given the current emergency circumstances. (See Subsequent Events, below, for additional discussion of our COVID-19 response.) Once our initial IND is in place, we have plans for additional INDs for stem cell therapy of musculoskeletal conditions and Alzheimer's disease.

We have received an initial order of AlloRx Stem Cells for testing purposes by PR Medica located in Cabo San Lucas. Given successful test results, we anticipate subsequent new revenue generation from this customer.

Vitro Biopharma's cosmetic topical stem cell serum is being distributed by InfiniVive MD into cosmetic clinics that are providing the topical treatment as a beautification product. To date the company's product is being offered in 10 cosmetic clinics.

Our partner, Dr Jack Zamora, MD was a keynote speaker at a master session at the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery annual meeting in late February. The topic of his presentation was "Topical Stem Cells, Exosomes and Conditioned Media Serums in Aesthetics." This was the official launch of the InfiniVive-MD platform including: Dailey Serum, Stem Cell Serum 2.0 & Exosomes within the product line. Vitro Biopharma will manufacture & private label these new products for distribution in the US. We anticipate InfiniVive MD growth, development and revenues to mirror the development of Apyx subdermal plasma skin tightening as a cosmetic treatment and technique that has gone global.

http://www.jackzamoramd.com http://www.infinivivemd.com

Our core research product sales continued to expand in Q1 2020. Our facility expansion continued with addition of manufacturing capacity and development of plans to add operational facility to increase outputs further by 100% or more. We were also in discussions with the USPTO regarding our pending patents for our novel stem cell therapy and stem cell activation technology. We continue to work closely with our examiner and have established communication channels to facilitate awards of these patents.

The COVD-19 pandemic is a significant obstacle for all business. However, Vitro Biopharma is uniquely positioned since we have a potential effective therapy. This is based on 3 independent reports showing efficacy of stem cell therapy in 17 COVID-19 patients. All were treated with IV umbilical cord MSCs comparable to AlloRx Stem Cells and all 17 required respiratory assistance but within 3-4 days of treatment, were able to breath without ventilators and were discharged within 14 days. https://www.scmp.com/news/china/society/article/3053080/coronavirus-critically-ill-chinese-patient-saved-stem-cell On the contrary, untreated patients on ventilators have death rates of 50% or more. We have received a formal request to supply AlloRx Stem Cells for compassionate use from a major university medical center and several other potential clinical partners have also expressed interest in using our cells to treat COVID-19 patients. We are presently working with the FDA to gain authority to begin clinical testing in the US. We are currently assessing the overall financial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, but this depends on overall control of the pandemic. There have been no staff layoffs and our workers are considered essential since we conduct essential research to the COVID-19 response.

Dr. Jim Musick, CEO of Vitro Biopharma, said, "We are very pleased with the increased revenue growth during our first quarter 2020 compared to the prior year However all our resources are currently focused on the emergency response to the COVID-19 pandemic and increasing our inventory of AlloRx to satisfy anticipated emergency demand to treat critically ill COVID-19 patients." The Company is working to get expedited clinical trial approvals to sell our AlloRx Stem Cells to hospitals coping with the pandemic. Vitro is pleased to have recently been recognized by Bioinformant as "a Company Tracking the Coronavirus". https://bioinformant.com/product/coronavirus-covid-19-report/ We anticipate clinical progress in the effectiveness of our stem cell therapies while expecting to see a reduction in our offshore and cosmetic revenues for the next quarter or two. The company is in a good cash position to weather this storm and simultaneously advance its AlloRx stem cell therapies into clinical trials.

In summary, Vitro Biopharma is advancing as a key player in regenerative medicine with 10- years' experience in the development and commercialization of stem cell products for research, recognized by a Best in Practice Technology Innovation Leadership award for Stem Cell Tools and Technology and a growing track record of successful translation to therapy. We are leveraging our proprietary technology platform to the establishment of international Stem Cell Centers of Excellence and regulatory approvals in the US and worldwide.

Sincerely yours,

James R. Musick, PhD.President, CEO & Chairman of the Boardwww.vitrobiopharma.com

Another Unintended Consequence of COVID-19: Cyberbullying Could Increase – Newswise

Friday, March 27th, 2020

Newswise When smartphones and social media became ubiquitous for students, cyberbullying rates went up. This makes sense, of course, because there was now an almost limitless number of potential targets and aggressors, said Sameer Hinduja, Ph.D., a professor in the School of Criminology and Criminal Justice within FAUs College for Design and Social Inquiry, and co-director of the Cyberbullying Research Center. Well, during this unprecedented time when theyre all stuck at home, those same students will be using apps even more than they already do with them being forced to use online platforms for learning, regardless of their level of comfort or proficiency. Teachers are delivering education not just in learning management systems like Canvas, Blackboard, and Moodle, but even on Roblox, Twitch, and YouTube, among others.

In the midst of major crises where everyone is already on edge, Hinduja says hostility toward others tends to escalate along with self-preserving and self-defensive behaviors. This may manifest even more so between students in their online interactions their posts, comments, pictures and videos. Some of it will be mild, and some of it will be severe. Some of it will be what students are used to and will not bother them, but some of it will be brand new and a jarring, wounding experience. This may be especially true for those who are not used to learning and interacting in online-only spaces (and may also disproportionately affect more vulnerable populations of youth).

Hinduja cautions that many cyberbullying targets will hesitate to get help from their parents. When it happens, they may suffer silently since there will not be any visual cues for educators to see or investigate because the student is not physically at school. In addition, with everyone now receiving instruction online, students cannot readily stop by the guidance counselors office, chat with a teacher after class, or let their coach know about what is troubling them and affecting their ability to play sports (since youth sports also are shut down). Those opportunities for meaningful, connective conversations and check-ins largely will not happen organically.

Its also very possible that xenophobic/racist cyberbullying may go up. Some continue to call COVID-19 a foreign virus and parents have complained that their children are being accused as carriers just because they are Asian, said Hinduja. Im Asian and have dealt with my share of bullying based on race/ethnicity, and so I am particularly sensitive to this issue and simply do not want to see it spiral out of control.

Hinduja provides a number of suggestions for educators:

Students also are going to struggle with feelings of isolation because they are not able to go to school and connect and interact with their peers in person, said Hinduja.

He also suggests that parents need to be creative to make sure that their children do not suffer from extremes of social isolation:

With intentionality, graciousness, and good will, we dont have to just survive through this crisis. We can actually thrive, and our relationships with the youth we care for can be better off than they were before all of this even began, asserts Hinduja.

Additional information and tips can be found at the Cyberbullying Research Center.

Welcome to the Cryoport, Inc. Full Year 2019 Earnings Conference Call. (Operator Instructions) And the conference is being recorded. (Operator Instructions)

I would now like to turn the conference over to Todd Fromer, the Managing Partner, KCSA. Please go ahead.

All statements that address our operating performance, events or developments that we expect or anticipate occurring in the future are forward-looking statements.

I would now like to turn the call over to Mr. Jerrell Shelton, Chief Executive Officer of Cryoport. Jerry, the floor is yours.

Jerrell W. Shelton, Cryoport, Inc. - Chairman, President & CEO [3]

Thank you, Todd. Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you for joining us today. With me this afternoon is our Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Robert Stefanovich; and our Chief Commercial Officer, Dr. Mark Sawicki.

As a reminder, we've uploaded our 2019 Year in Review document to our website. It can be found in the Investor Relations section under Events & Presentations. This document provides a review of our recent financial and operational performance and a general business outlook. So if you have not had a chance to read it, I would encourage you to go to the website and download it.

As with previous quarters, on this conference call, we will provide you with a brief general update. And then we'll move to the question-and-answer session, where we will address your queries regarding our company's results.

Now for the update. We reported record revenues of $33.9 million for fiscal year 2019, an increase of 73% from fiscal year 2018. This strong result was driven partly by our commercial agreements supporting Gilead's YESCARTA and Novartis' KYMRIAH, which contributed $8.3 million in the 12-month period, an increase of 295% or $6.2 million compared with the prior year. Revenue from our commercial agreements is expected to continue to grow throughout 2020 and will include revenue from the commercial launch of bluebird bio's ZYNTEGLO, commencing during the first quarter of 2020.

A record total of 5 Cryoport-supported Marketing Authorization Applications and Biologics Licensing Applications were filed during the fourth quarter of 2019. We expect approximately 10 additional Cryoport-supported MAAs and BLAs to be filed in 2020 based on internal information and forecasts from the Alliance for Regenerative Medicine.

As the number of cell and gene therapies and clinical trials increased, we secured new clients and expanded our market share with the global regenerative medicine market. During our fourth quarter, we added a net total of 11 clinical trials, bringing the total number of regenerative therapy clinical trials supported by Cryoport to a record 436, of which 56 are currently in Phase III compared with 357 trials at the end of 2018, of which 47 were in Phase III.

During the year, to further advance our leadership position, we invested in enhancing our platform by entering the biostorage market with the acquisition of Cryogene and launching the first ever Cryoport Express Advanced Therapy Shipper product line, which guarantees each shipper has been used only for human use, is cleaned with 99.9999% effectiveness and provides complete traceability of all equipment, components and commodities. As a result of these investments last year, we're now providing our global clients with an expanded platform of critical solutions that include both highly differentiated temperature-controlled logistics and biostorage services.

With the regenerative medicine market growing rapidly, Cryoport is developing the network of partners, processes and systems that support a Compliance Unified Ecosystem within the life sciences industry. We have successfully secured several top-tier partnerships, including Lonza, Vineti, McKesson, EVERSANA and further integrating other solutions into the life sciences industry by providing scalable, standardized and compliant solutions focused on the supply chain of regenerative therapies.

In 2020, we are continuing to expand our global supply chain network and platform of advanced therapies for life sciences, including through the build-out of Global Supply Chain Centers in Morris Plains, New Jersey; and Houston, Texas. We believe that Cryoport's strong business model and balance sheet has us well positioned for both continued organic and acquisitive growth. Our market-leading position and superior technology platforms also give us the ability to scale our operations and to expand our support of the global regenerative medicine ecosystem as the market continues to demonstrate rapid and accelerating growth.

Now I'll turn the call over to the operator to open the telephone lines for your questions and our answers.

================================================================================

Questions and Answers

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Operator [1]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(Operator Instructions) Our first question comes from Brandon Couillard with Jefferies.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Unidentified Analyst, [2]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is [Matt] on for Brandon. First one, if we look at the clinical trial revenues or the noncommercial biopharma revenues, essentially flat in the second half of the year versus the first half of the year, even though you added more than 20 new clinical trials in the -- versus the first half. Can you just help us reconcile the trend of your ongoing growth in supported clinical trials across the 3 phases? Is it simply timing issues as the trials transition and ramp from their various clinical phases? And then as a follow-up to that, are the ballpark revenue ranges or bands you have historically laid out by clinical trial phases still relevant today?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jerrell W. Shelton, Cryoport, Inc. - Chairman, President & CEO [3]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yes. So there's not all of that in the answer, but I'm going to turn that over to Mark Sawicki to answer the question.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mark W. Sawicki, Cryoport, Inc. - Chief Commercial Officer [4]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yes, thanks. So the bottom line on clinical trial activity and associated revenue is that we use clinical trials as a pipeline for ultimately commercial revenue, which has by far a larger revenue basis associated with a given program and cycle. Clinical does, in its inherent nature, have more volatility. And volatility can be associated with interruptions in trials, holds between phases or terminations due to lack of progression, which obviously, we outlined in the earnings release.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Unidentified Analyst, [5]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And then on the biostorage side, you made some progress cross-selling to your existing customer base there and recently onboarded several clients to the Cryogene platform. Curious if you can just kind of provide any initial feedback, what it is about their offering that's resonating with your customers? And then anything you're penciling in for 2020 in terms of revenue synergies from Cryogene?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jerrell W. Shelton, Cryoport, Inc. - Chairman, President & CEO [6]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You want to take that, Mark?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mark W. Sawicki, Cryoport, Inc. - Chief Commercial Officer [7]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sure. So we're absolutely seeing crossover between the Cryoport and Cryogene businesses, which is one of the reasons we moved forward with the acquisition last year. And we do believe that, that will accelerate in this fiscal year. The primary driver behind that is folks moving towards an integrated or a single-supplier supply chain, so they want to not only be able to support the distribution aspects through our supply chain logistics platform, but also storage.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Operator [8]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The next question comes from Puneet Souda with SVB Leerink.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Puneet Souda, SVB Leerink LLC, Research Division - MD of Life Science Tools & Diagnostics and Senior Research Analyst [9]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So Jerry, first one for you and maybe

Mark can chime in into it too. Wanted to understand why commercial revenue was stepping down here when revenue for both the commercial therapies were up. Can you provide maybe how much of that was ASP driven? Or is there some other dynamic that we're unclear on? And just wanted to understand if -- how is that shaping up in the first quarter.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jerrell W. Shelton, Cryoport, Inc. - Chairman, President & CEO [10]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yes. Yes, that is a good question, Puneet. The commercial revenues that we report are divided into 2 primary categories. One of these is patient and shipping-related revenues. And the second category is services, where, for example, our customers asked us for consulting or lane validations or custom secondary packaging or program management and that sort of thing. So in the fourth quarter, there was a bit of a drop from the third quarter revenue as a result of the nonshipping services-related revenue dropping.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Puneet Souda, SVB Leerink LLC, Research Division - MD of Life Science Tools & Diagnostics and Senior Research Analyst [11]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And would you expect that to recover again here in the first quarter? Or what's your expectation on that revenue? Or is that something we should expect to decline through the year?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jerrell W. Shelton, Cryoport, Inc. - Chairman, President & CEO [12]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It's a constant flow. It just had a drop in that last quarter. But it's -- there's constantly activity in these areas. There's always a need here.

This is evolving -- this is an evolving space. And so it's just -- it's going to continue to develop.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mark W. Sawicki, Cryoport, Inc. - Chief Commercial Officer [13]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yes. Puneet, it's -- as Jerry has said -- yes, the numbers will rebound.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Puneet Souda, SVB Leerink LLC, Research Division - MD of Life Science Tools & Diagnostics and Senior Research Analyst [14]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sorry, I didn't catch that. Can you repeat?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mark W. Sawicki, Cryoport, Inc. - Chief Commercial Officer [15]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I said -- yes, I said the numbers will rebound.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jerrell W. Shelton, Cryoport, Inc. - Chairman, President & CEO [16]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mark said the same thing I said in a different way. He just simply said, the numbers will come back if we just had a drop for a quarter in those numbers.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Puneet Souda, SVB Leerink LLC, Research Division - MD of Life Science Tools & Diagnostics and Senior Research Analyst [17]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Okay. All right. And then on clinical trials, I have a bigger question. I mean I appreciate there were 2 high-volume trials that were impacting the quarter. But wanted to get a view into what you're seeing so far in the year. Was that sort of onetime phenomena, one-off phenomena that you saw here? And I understand these are large clinical trials, but any sense that you're getting in 2020 so far on any other trials or a recovery in -- for Phase III trials?

Israeli Ministry of Health Clears a Path to Allow Per Patient Compassionate Use Treatment of Covid-19 Patients with Pluristems PLX Cells – Yahoo…

Thursday, March 19th, 2020

HAIFA, Israel, March 17, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Pluristem Therapeutics Inc. (PSTI) (PSTI), a leading regenerative medicine company developing a platform of novel biological products, today announced that the Israeli Ministry of Health has approved Pluristems request to seek approvals to treat COVID-19 coronavirus patients under the per-patient compassionate use framework in Israel. The Israeli Ministry of Health may approve proposed treatments on a per-patient basis for the use of PLX cell therapy including intra-muscular (IM) administration of PLX-PAD for the proposed treatment of severe pneumonia resulting from COVID-19 and preventing the deterioration of patients towards Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) and sepsis. Pluristem has not yet submitted any such request for treatment of a specific COVID-19 patient, and there is no assurance that any such request will be approved by Israeli Ministry of Health.

Pluristem recently announced a collaborative agreement with the BIH Center for Regenerative Therapy (BCRT) and the Berlin Center for Advanced Therapies (BeCAT) at Charit University of Medicine Berlin to evaluate the therapeutic effects of PLX cell product candidates for the potential treatment of the respiratory and inflammatory complications associated with the COVID-19 coronavirus.

Pluristem is highly committed to use its technology, knowledge and expertise in order to attempt to provide a better outcome to patients infected by complications associated with COVID-19. We hope and believe that the ease of use of our PLX cell product candidates, and their being readily available, may play an important role in case there is a need to treat large numbers of patients with respiratory complications. Our collaborative research with Charit of Berlin on our PLX COVID-19 program enables us to accelerate the implementation of our cell therapies candidates towards this indication, as we continue our efforts to expand the program to additional countries, stated Pluristem President and CEO Yaky Yanay.

PLX cells are available off-the-shelf and once commercialized, can be manufactured in large scale quantities, offering a key advantage in addressing a global pandemic. PLX cells are allogeneic mesenchymal-like cells that have immunomodulatory properties that induce the immune systems natural regulatory T cells and M2 macrophages, and thus may prevent or reverse the dangerous overactivation of the immune system. Accordingly, PLX cells may potentially reduce the incidence andor severity of COVID-19 pneumonia and pneumonitis leading hopefully to a better prognosis for the patients. Previous pre-clinical findings of PLX cells revealed therapeutic benefit in animal studies of pulmonary hypertension, lung fibrosis, acute kidney injury and gastrointestinal injury which are potential complications of the severe COVID-19 infection. Clinical data using PLX cells demonstrated the strong immunomodulatory potency of PLX cells in patients post major surgery. Taken together, PLX cells potential capabilities with the safety profile observed from clinical trials involving hundreds of patients worldwide potentially position them as a therapy for mitigating the tissue-damaging effects of COVID-19.

About Pluristem TherapeuticsPluristem Therapeutics Inc. is a leading regenerative medicine company developing novel placenta-based cell therapy product candidates. The Company has reported robust clinical trial data in multiple indications for its patented PLX cell product candidates and is currently conducting late stage clinical trials in several indications. PLX cell product candidates are believed to release a range of therapeutic proteins in response to inflammation, ischemia, muscle trauma, hematological disorders and radiation damage. The cells are grown using the Company's proprietary three-dimensional expansion technology and can be administered to patients off-the-shelf, without tissue matching.

Cellphire Begins Phase 2 Trial of Thrombosomes in Bleeding Thrombocytopenic Patients – Benzinga

Thursday, March 19th, 2020

ROCKVILLE, Md., March 18, 2020 /PRNewswire/ --Cellphire, Inc., the global leader in long-term stabilization and storage of platelets, announced today that it has received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to start a Phase 2 clinical trial of Thrombosomes in bleeding patients with thrombocytopenia.

In July 2019, Cellphire successfully completed a Phase I clinical trial of its lead product, Thrombosomes, a platelet-based freeze-dried hemostatic. Utilizing its patented technology to stabilize and freeze-dry platelets, Cellphire is developing next-generation therapeutics to treat bleeding patients. Standard liquid platelets only have a 5- to 7-day shelf life, making inventory management difficult and can lead to widespread platelet shortages during public health emergencies. By contrast, Thrombosomes have a 3-year shelf life.

Global Stem Cell Market Poised for Strong Growth as Global Regenerative Medicine Market Poised to Reach US$45 billion by 2025 – PRNewswire

Monday, March 2nd, 2020

DUBLIN, Feb. 27, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- The "Stem Cell Banking - Market Analysis, Trends, and Forecasts" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The growing interest in regenerative medicine which involves replacing, engineering or regenerating human cells, tissues or organs, will drive market growth of stem cells. Developments in stem cells bioprocessing are important and will be a key factor that will influence and help regenerative medicine research move into real-world clinical use. The impact of regenerative medicine on healthcare will be comparable to the impact of antibiotics, vaccines, and monoclonal antibodies in current clinical care. With the global regenerative medicine market poised to reach over US$45 billion by 2025, demand for stem cells will witness robust growth.

Another emerging application area for stem cells is in drug testing in the pharmaceutical field. New drugs in development can be safely, accurately, and effectively be tested on stem cells before commencing tests on animal and human models. Among the various types of stem cells, umbilical cord stem cells are growing in popularity as they are easy and safe to extract. After birth blood from the umbilical cord is extracted without posing risk either to the mother or the child. As compared to embryonic and fetal stem cells which are saddled with safety and ethical issues, umbilical cord is recovered postnatally and is today an inexpensive and valuable source of multipotent stem cells. Until now discarded as waste material, umbilical cord blood is today acknowledged as a valuable source of blood stem cells. The huge gap between newborns and available cord blood banks reveals huge untapped opportunity for developing and establishing a more effective banking system for making this type of stem cells viable for commercial scale production and supply. Umbilical cord and placenta contain haematopoietic blood stem cells (HSCs). These are the only cells capable of producing immune system cells (red cells, white cells and platelet).

HSCs are valuable in the treatment of blood diseases and successful bone marrow transplants. Also, unlike bone marrow stem cells, umbilical cord blood has the advantage of having 'off-the-shelf' uses as it requires no human leukocyte antigen (HLA) tissue matching. Developments in stem cell preservation will remain crucial for successful stem cell banking. Among the preservation technologies, cryopreservation remains popular. Development of additives for protecting cells from the stresses of freezing and thawing will also be important for the future of the market. The United States and Europe represent large markets worldwide with a combined share of 60.5% of the market. China ranks as the fastest growing market with a CAGR of 10.8% over the analysis period supported by the large and growing network of umbilical cord blood banks in the country. The Chinese government has, over the years, systematically nurtured the growth of umbilical cord blood (UCB) banks under the 'Developmental and Reproductive Research Initiation' program launched in 2008. Several hybrid public-private partnerships and favorable governmental licensing policies today are responsible for the current growth in this market.

Tessa Therapeutics Announces US FDA Regenerative Medicine Advanced Therapy (RMAT) Designation Granted to its CD30 CAR-T Cell Therapy for the Treatment…

Monday, March 2nd, 2020

SINGAPORE, Feb. 27, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Tessa Therapeutics (Tessa), a clinical-stage cell therapy company developing next-generation cancer treatments, today announced that the Company's investigational CD30-directed autologous chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CD30 CAR-T) therapy has been granted Regenerative Medicine Advanced Therapy (RMAT) designation by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of patients with relapsed or refractory CD30-positive classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL). Tessa expects to initiate its pivotal Phase II multi-site trial in the fourth quarter of 2020.

"The RMAT designation speaks to the strength of the data in two independent Phase I/II trials, which show promising efficacy and a strong safety profile of the therapy in Hodgkin lymphoma patients whose disease had failed to respond to other available therapies," said Ivan D. Horak, M.D., President of Research and Development at Tessa Therapeutics. "We look forward to working closely with the FDA as we advance our trial at multiple sites in North America and work to bring this potentially transformative treatment option to patients."

The RMAT designation is supported by clinical data from two independent CD30 CAR-T Phase I/II studies in patients with relapsed or refractory CD30-positive classical Hodgkin lymphoma conducted by Baylor College of Medicine (NCT02917083) and University of North Carolina Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center (NCT02690545). Both studies demonstrated objective response rates of more than 70%, with 18 patients achieving complete response out of 27 patients treated with CD 30 CAR-T with lymphodepleting chemotherapy as of November 2019.

Dr Horak added: "As part of our longer-term R&D program, we are also developing an allogeneic CD30-CAR Epstein-Bar Virus-Specific T cell (CD30-CAR EBVST) therapy product that combines the unique properties of VSTs and CD30 CARs, in an effort to develop off-the-shelf cell therapies intended to treat a range of hematologic malignancies and solid tumors."

RMAT designation is designed to facilitate development and expedite review of cell therapies and other qualifying regenerative medicines intended to treat a serious or life-threatening disease or condition; and preliminary clinical evidence indicates that the drug has the potential to address unmet medical needs for such disease or condition. Advantages include all the benefits of the FDA's Fast Track and Breakthrough Therapy Designation programs, such as early interactions with the FDA that may be used to discuss potential surrogate or intermediate endpoints to support accelerated approval and satisfy post-approval requirements.

More information on Tessa's CD30 CAR-T therapy pivotal Phase II clinical trial is available at: https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04268706.

St. Paul, MN, February 27, 2020 --(PR.com)-- Recombinetics (RCI) today announced a collaborative research project with University of Texas Southwestern (UTSW) to identify key factors that improve the efficiency of generating interspecies chimera between pigs and humans. This near-term goal will benefit the long-term objective of advancing regenerative medicine through the reliable production of therapeutic human cells, tissues and organs using blastocyst complementation. This would create a more reliable supply of live-saving transplantable organs on demand that is not reliant on human donors.

This collaboration will leverage the expertise of RCI in producing inter-species chimeras, specifically using the blastocyst complementation method, where the host species is mutated to ablate a crucial organ or lineage, and the human donor cells are populating the missing niche. Our plan is to understand the relationship between human and pig cells through development and utilize gene editing to improve the survival, engraftment and differentiation of the donor human cells in the specific niche. These technologies could very well hold the crucial step that move us towards producing human components in bio-incubators.

Project efforts will be led by Ohad Gafni, Ph.D., RCIs Director of Stem Cell Technologies and Jun Wu, Ph.D., Assistant Professor at UT Southwestern Medical Center.

Scientists have struggled to produce inter species chimera due to poor survival and engraftment of the injected donor cells in the host environment. In this collaboration, we will combine in vitro and in vivo studies to enhance the efficiency of producing pig: human chimeras as a foundation for producing therapeutic human cells, tissues, and organs, says Dr. Gafni.
