DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Taysha Gene Therapies, Inc. (Nasdaq: TSHA), a patient-centric, pivotal-stage gene therapy company focused on developing and commercializing AAV-based gene therapies for the treatment of monogenic diseases of the central nervous system (CNS) in both rare and large patient populations, today announced new data for multiple preclinical programs and a planned R&D Day, which will be held in June 2021.

Collectively, these new preclinical data highlight Tayshas next wave of novel gene therapies that have the potential to impact meaningful patient populations. The promising data underscore our ability to rapidly and reproducibly investigate disease biology, design innovative gene therapies and efficiently advance the development of these drug candidates, said RA Session II, President, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Taysha. Among the compelling new data, for the first time, we have shown that TSHA-113, an AAV9 gene therapy that utilizes AAV-mediated gene silencing, reduced tau expression in mouse models of human tauopathies. The potential implications of these data are far reaching, and we intend to further evaluate TSHA-113 in additional preclinical studies. The totality of the preclinical data presented today support the fundamental elements of our scientific approach of coupling validated technology with novel targeted payload design while utilizing a proven HEK293 suspension manufacturing process. We believe our deep pipeline and innovative scientific engine hold tremendous potential, and we are poised to continue delivering meaningful value to patients with monogenic CNS diseases.

Todays data demonstrate the breadth, depth and velocity of our development engine as a sustainable pivotal-stage gene therapy company. There are no approved disease modifying therapies for any of the programs in our portfolio and we are encouraged by the results of our gene therapy approach of vectorized RNA and gene replacement therapies across our portfolio, said Suyash Prasad, MBBS, M.SC., MRCP, MRCPCH, FFPM, Chief Medical Officer and Head of Research and Development of Taysha. We are very excited to further develop TSHA-113 in tauopathies, including Alzheimers disease, MAPT-associated frontotemporal dementia and progressive supranuclear palsy, based on the significant reduction in tau expression demonstrated in transgenic mouse models of human tauopathies. In addition, to date, we have advanced five programs into IND/CTA-enabling studies, including TSHA-105 in SLC13A5 deficiency, TSHA-111-LAFORIN in Lafora disease, TSHA-111-MALIN in Lafora disease, TSHA-112 in APBD and TSHA-119 in GM2 AB variant. We intend to file an IND/CTA for one of these five named programs by the end of 2021. By mid-year, we intend to select a development candidate for Angelman syndrome and obtain interim expression and safety data from confirmatory non-human primate studies by year-end. We remain on track to report Phase 1/2 biomarker data for TSHA-101 in GM2 gangliosidosis in the second half of this year and to provide a clinical and regulatory update for TSHA-120 in giant axonal neuropathy by year-end. Finally, in the second half of the year, we continue to expect dosing of the first patient with CLN1 disease in a Phase 1/2 trial for TSHA-118 under an already open IND, filing an IND/CTA for TSHA-102 in Rett syndrome and TSHA-104 in SURF1-associated Leigh syndrome, and filing an IND for TSHA-101 in GM2 gangliosidosis in the U.S. These anticipated clinical and regulatory milestones are expected to be followed by the initiation of Phase 1/2 clinical trials for each of these indications. We look forward to providing additional updates at our R&D Day in June.

Taysha Gene Therapies Announces New Data on Multiple Preclinical Programs and Upcoming R&D Day - BioSpace

By Abbey Slattery, WRAL Digital Solutions

This article was written for our sponsor, the North Carolina Biotechnology Center.

For decades, North Carolina has been known as a nerve center for the life sciences industry. In fact, after the creation of the Biotech Center in the 1980s, North Carolina became the first state in the country to have a state-supported entity dedicated to growing the industry.

N.C. Biotech runs a number of programs to support technology and company development, to recruit companies and to connect North Carolina residents to high-paying jobs.

In the years since then, numerous life sciences companies have established a base in North Carolina, including major names like Biogen, BASF, LabCorp and Merck, among others. By committing to the industry early and cultivating a strong university system, the state established itself as a hub and prepared a workforce that rivals that of anywhere else in the country. Now, it's the site of global scientific breakthroughs and game-changing medical advancements.

"North Carolina has really done a good job with creating a flow from the workforce to the industry, and we've continued to grow and expand because of that. We now have a lot of research and development tools, and we have a tremendous amount of manufacturing here," said Laura Gunter, executive vice president at NCBIO. "All of the amenities of North Carolina and climate and education attract people, but then we've done a good job of educating folks and giving North Carolinians an opportunity to work and thrive here."

With a highly trained workforce of over 67,000, 775 diverse bioscience companies and nearly 2,500 companies, the state has created a thriving ecosystem for the industry. In the Triangle region alone, agricultural and biopharma manufacturing companies are developing exciting new advancements with potential for global impacts.

"A company called Pairwise in Durham is focused on using the gene-editing technology called CRISPR, but with plants. They're working on developing more nutrients or better growing capabilities with plants using that CRISPR technology," said Gunter. "They've developed a new variety of leafy green called brassica that's related to Brussels sprouts, cauliflower and kale. It's nutrient-dense and naturally resistant to pests, but apparently, it has a very pungent flavor. What they've done is work on the flavor, while keeping the nutrients and resistance."

"Another major company is Novozymes, and they specialize in industrial enzymes and microorganisms. If you've ever toured any of these facilities where they're doing fermentation, like a beer brewing facility, Novozymes does that on a massive scale with industrial enzymes," continued Gunter. "Those enzymes can be used in everything from pharmaceuticals to food to detergent. They're also working on some things on the agriculture side to improve crop yields through microbes."

Biogen founded in 1978 and one of the world's first global biotechnology companies is another major player that finds a home in Durham. While Pairwise and Novozymes are more focused on the agricultural side of biotech, Biogen is making advancements in pharmaceutical manufacturing and medical research programs. Its active research includes treatments for conditions like multiple sclerosis, spinal muscular atrophy and other serious neurological conditions.

The company announced a $200 million expansion in March to produce gene therapies and other treatments in their project pipeline. It joins Novartis Gene Therapies, which is producing its Zolgensma therapy for spinal muscular atrophy in Durham, alongside Adverum, Audentes, Beam Therapeutics, bluebird bio, Cellectis, Pfizer, Taysha Gene Therapies and more.

The benefit of cell and gene therapies is the treatments are potentially curative. Early applications are for diseases caused by single-gene mutations, and those that are life-threatening. Thanks to these companies, North Carolina will be the place these treatments are produced. The treatments would likely have a global impact on improving the lives of those who suffer.

One specific example is spinal muscular atrophy, which is the loss of nerve cells and the weakening of muscles near the spine. This degenerative disease has previously been a fatal diagnosis for infants.

"The fascinating thing about spinal muscular atrophy treatments, in the case of Biogen and Novartis, they're both game-changing and potentially curative treatments versus just trying to alleviate a symptom," said Gunter. "With the gene replacement therapy that Novartis is using, if it works, then that child could potentially no longer have the disease. If it ends up being a long-term fix, it's pretty miraculous and it's made right here."

The list of companies that develop products and treatments in North Carolina goes on from endoscopy devices at Cook Medical to in vitro products at bioMerieux to injectable drugs at Hospira. Thanks to forward-thinking from the state and organizations like N.C. Biotech, North Carolina is well-equipped to continue being the site of life sciences products and advancements.

"North Carolina has paid attention to reinforcing the entire pipeline starting with idea and proof of concept by a university researcher. Small companies are created from the research, and we help them navigate a bumpy road to success. Then, we work with companies all around the world looking for the right place to manufacture their products," said Doug Edgeton, president and CEO of N.C. Biotech.

"We continue to invest in this innovation infrastructure, and train the talent to do these important jobs. We think it's why North Carolina is a global leader in this field."

From gene therapies to medical treatments, cutting-edge research finds a home in NC - WRAL.com

Promising research at the University of Cambridge suggests gene therapies could help repair some of the damage caused in chronic neurodegenerative conditions such as glaucoma and dementia, writes editor Paul Brackley.

Their studies in animals offer hope that such therapies could be effective in polygenic conditions, which are complex and do not have a single genetic cause.

Gene therapies involve replacing a missing or defective gene with a healthy version.

They have become increasingly common, but typically for rare and monogenic conditions those caused by a single defective gene, such as Lebers congenital amaurosis, spinal muscular atrophy and Lebers hereditary optic neuropathy.

There have been limited applications of such therapies to polygenic conditions, which include the majority of neurodegenerative conditions.

In their new research, Cambridge scientists delivered two candidate molecules simultaneously to nerve cells using a single virus to achieve a strong effect on axonal growth.

Dr Tasneem Khatib, from the John van Geest Centre for Brain Repair at the University of Cambridge, the studys first author, explained: The axons of nerve cells function a bit like a railway system, where the cargo is essential components required for the cells to survive and function.

In neurodegenerative diseases, this railway system can get damaged or blocked. We reckoned that replacing two molecules that we know work effectively together would help to repair this transport network more effectively than delivering either one alone, and that is exactly what we found.

This combined approach also leads to a much more sustained therapeutic effect, which is very important for a treatment aimed at a chronic degenerative disease.

Rather than using the standard gene therapy approach of replacing or repairing damaged genes, we used the technique to supplement these molecules in the brain.

Axons are long fibres that transmit electrical signals, allowing nerve cells to communicate with one another and with muscles.

Axonal transport is a cellular process that moves key molecules and cellular building blocks such as mitochondria, lipids and proteins to and from the body of a nerve cell.

It has been suggested that stimulating this process by enhancing intrinsic neuronal processes in the diseased central nervous system could be a way of repairing damaged nerve cells.

The Cambridge team explored this idea using two candidate molecules for improving axonal function brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and its receptor, tropomyosin receptor kinase B (TrkB).

They tested the idea in two models of neurodegenerative disease known to be associated with reduced axonal transport glaucoma and tauopathy, a degenerative disease associated with dementia.

Glaucoma involves damage to the optic nerve and is typically associated with abnormally high pressure in the eye.

Using rats, researchers deployed a tracer dye to show axonal transport between the eye and brain was impaired in glaucoma, while a reduction in electrical activity in the retina in response to light suggested vision was also impaired.

Dr Khatib and colleagues then used viral vectors which are gene therapy delivery systems to deliver the two molecules to the retina of rats. The movement of the dye showed this restored axonal transport between the retina and the brain and the retinas also showed an improved electrical response to light, which is a prerequisite for visual restoration.

Next they used transgenic mice bred to model tauopathy, which is the build-up of tangles of tau protein in the brain.

Tauopathy is seen in neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimers disease and frontotemporal dementia.

Injecting the dye again enabled the team to show that axonal transport was impaired between the eye and the brain and that it was restored using the viral vectors.

They even found preliminary evidence of possible improvement in the mices short-term memory using an object recognition task.

Before the treatment, a mouse was placed at the start of a Y-shaped maze and left to explore two identical objects at the end of the two arms.

Shortly after, the mouse was once again placed in the maze, but this time one arm contained a new object, while the other contained a copy of the repeated object.

The researchers measured the amount of the time the mouse spent exploring each object to see whether it had remembered the object from the previous task.

After the viral vector had been injected into the mouses brain, the test was repeated and suggested a small improvement in short-term memory. The result here was not deemed statistically significant, but the researchers were encouraged and plan a larger study to confirm it.

Professor Keith Martin, from the Centre for Eye Research Australia and the University of Melbourne, who led the study while at Cambridge, said: While this is currently early stage research, we believe it shows promise for helping to treat neurodegenerative diseases that have so far proved intractable.

Gene therapy has already proved effective for some rare monogenic conditions, and we hope it will be similarly useful for these more complex diseases which are much more common.

In the study, published in Science Advances, the researchers write: We feel that these findings do have implication for clinical practice.

The research was supported by Fight for Sight, Addenbrookes Charitable Trust, the Cambridge Eye Trust, the Jukes Glaucoma Research Fund, Quethera Ltd, Alzheimer's Research UK, Gates Cambridge Trust, Wellcome and the Medical Research Council.

University of Cambridge research suggests gene therapies offer hope in treating glaucoma and dementia - Cambridge Independent

Genetic diseases were thought to be incurable letters carved in stone (or on a double helix). But gene therapy could change all that.

From treating Duchenne muscular dystrophy, autism, or glaucoma, there has been a surge in the news surrounding gene therapy (type "gene therapy" into the Freethink search tool, and you'll see endless stories about medical breakthroughs).

The total number of completed or ongoing gene therapy clinical trials reached 4000 in February 2020. This type of treatment is on its way toward addressing some of the most severe and complicated ailments known to man. Gene therapy even shows promise for treating diseases like cancer or Huntington's disease longstanding mysteries of medical science.

Instead of using medications or surgery, doctors can use gene therapy to fight diseases at their source. Gene therapy attempts to cure a disease, or boost the body's ability to combat a disease, by replacing a defective gene or adding a new gene.

The success of gene therapy all hinges on the ability to deliver that precious genetic cargo into the patient's cells safely. To do that, scientists use a "vector" as a delivery vessel for the genetic material. In most cases, that vector is a virus.

Scientists engineer an unwitting virus to act as a vector to deliver a therapeutic genetic payload.

We don't typically think fondly of viruses. Usually, they don't enter the human body to help. Instead, viruses like the flu or coronavirus make humans sick by inserting their genetic material into human cells and hijacking them. The cell reads the viral DNA (or RNA) and produces virus offspring, infecting other cells, repeating the process.

But, since viruses naturally deliver genetic material into a human cell, they are the most widely used vectors in gene therapy.

Scientists engineer an unwitting virus to act as a vector to deliver a therapeutic genetic payload. They strip the virus of its own genes and replace it with new genes. Once the virus transports its genetic cargo into tissues, the altered genes get to work producing further instructions to treat the disease.

But the human body can recognize the virus as a foreign invader and launch an immune response attempting to target and reject the virus.

Enter the adeno-associated viruses (AAV) a small virus that has emerged as the most promising platform for gene therapy.

These small, versatile viruses have several advantages over other gene therapy vectors.

First, despite their small size, they can carry a sizeable genetic payload. They are not known to cause many human diseases, and they can be designed to target particular types of cells or tissues. They cannot replicate on their own, so scientists can control how much gene therapy is delivered to the body.

The best part: they don't trigger a very large immune response like other viruses. A gene therapy trial in the 1990s that used an adenovirus (a kind of cold virus, different from AAVs) caused a deadly immune overreaction in one patient and effectively ended gene therapy research in humans for a decade.

After that, researchers went back to the drawing board, looking for safer vectors. AAVs, because they don't cause disease and can't replicate, generally fly under the immune system's radar. These characteristics make them perfect vessels for gene therapy. And clinical trials have since shown that AAV gene therapy is safe and, for some diseases, effective.

Now that AAVs are established as gene therapy vectors, scientists are working to improve their delivery and create the next generation of AAV gene therapy.

Researchers have been successful with AAV gene therapy in the clinical setting. Currently, two FDA-approved gene therapy treatments use AAVs: Luxturna, which was approved in 2017 for a rare vision disorder, and Zolgensma, which was approved last year for spinal muscular atrophy.

But there are challenges to overcome. Because AAVs are viruses that people are naturally exposed to, many people have already developed antibodies against them. When a patient who has been previously exposed to an AAV receives AAV gene therapy, these antibodies could block the therapy.

Recently, a team of researchers figured out how to cloak the AVV to sneak past the immune system and deliver its gene therapy payload without triggering any immune response.

With the recent surge in AAVs as viral vectors and more clinical studies in the pipeline, we can expect to see new gene therapies that are safe and effective.

We'd love to hear from you! If you have a comment about this article or if you have a tip for a future Freethink story, please email us at [emailprotected]

What is CRISPR?

CRISPRs (Clusters of Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats) are specialized stretches of DNA and are a shorthand for CRISPR-Cas9, which are transcribed by the bacteria to RNA stretches during viral infections. The same CRISPR technology can be leveraged to identify, alter and modify the DNA sequences and genomes.

The technique is used to correct genetic defects, prevent the spread of disease by altering the genetic sequence, improving crop viability and durability, and so on without affecting the functions of other genes.

CRISPR Therapies Pipeline Insights 2021: Analysis of Key Companies, Emerging Therapies, Recent Happenings and Futuristic Trends - GlobeNewswire

FOSTER CITY, Calif. & PARIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mirum Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: MIRM) and Vivet Therapeutics (Vivet) announced today an agreement whereby Mirum has the exclusive option to develop and subsequently commercialize Vivets two proprietary AAV gene therapy programs for progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis (PFIC), subtypes 3 and 2. The two programs, VTX-803 and VTX-802, are currently being evaluated in preclinical studies by Vivet, a privately-held gene therapy biotechnology company.

Under the terms of the agreement, Vivet will continue to advance the preclinical studies for VTX-803 and VTX-802 for PFIC3 and PFIC2, respectively. Mirum has the exclusive option to license the programs after which Mirum would lead the clinical development and any future commercialization of the programs. Until that time, Mirum will provide funding to support the continued research and development costs associated with the two gene therapy programs.

This gene therapy collaboration will work to address the root cause of PFIC3 and PFIC2 and provide an option for patients who do not respond to ASBT inhibition, said Chris Peetz, president and chief executive officer at Mirum. We are encouraged by the expertise and dedication of the Vivet team to develop next-generation gene therapies that have the potential to transform the lives of patients and their families. There are clear synergies in our combined missions to help the people who need it the most.

Mirums dedication to the treatment of cholestatic liver diseases and those rare diseases for which there are limited medications make them a great partner to potentially develop and bring to market VTX-803 and VTX-802, said Jean-Philippe Combal, chief executive officer and co-founder of Vivet. Their leadership in rare liver disease and in particular PFIC, is important as they not only understand the urgent need for patients but also that todays treatment options will never be enough. Gene therapy is a transformative approach, potentially benefiting more patients.

VTX-803 and VTX-802 are two proprietary AAV gene therapy programs of Vivet currently being evaluated in preclinical studies for progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis (PFIC), subtypes 3 and 2. It is thought that successful correction by gene therapy of the defective MDR3 transporter and bile salt export pump (BSEP) functions for PFIC3 and PFIC2, respectively, may ultimately provide a cure for patients living with these rare liver diseases. Such an approach carries the potential to overcome the main limitations of current standard of care for PFIC3 and PFIC2. It may provide long-lasting benefits by restoring physiological bile secretion and preventing severe hepatic complications of the diseases and outweighing its related significant costs.

Vivet has received Orphan Drug Designation for VTX-803 by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Medicines Agency (EMA). Additionally, preclinical proof-of-concept studies highlighting VTX-803 were published in Nature Communications in 2019. The data demonstrated sustained and significant reversal of PFIC3 disease biomarkers in a model of PFIC3.

About PFIC

Progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis (PFIC) is a rare genetic disorder that causes progressive liver disease typically leading to liver failure. In people with PFIC, liver cells are less able to secrete bile. The resulting buildup of bile causes liver disease in affected individuals. Signs and symptoms of PFIC typically begin in infancy. Patients experience severe itching, jaundice, failure to grow at the expected rate (failure to thrive), and an increasing inability of the liver to function (liver failure). The disease is estimated to affect one in every 50,000 to 100,000 births in the United States and Europe. Six types of PFIC have been genetically identified, all of which are similarly characterized by impaired bile flow and progressive liver disease The PFIC2 patient population accounts for approximately 60% of the PFIC patient population. PFIC2 is caused by a mutation in the ABCB11 gene, which normally encodes a bile salt export pump protein that moves bile acids out of the liver.

Global Regenerative Medicines Market 2020-2030: Opportunities in Drug Approvals and Strong Pipeline of Cell and Gene Therapies & Multiple...

Six decades ago, two researchers at the Ontario Cancer Institute at Princess Margaret Hospital made a startling discovery. James Till and Ernest McCulloch had found transplantable stem cells, special building block cells that have the ability to grow into any kind of human tissue.

Till and McCulloch were studying the effects of radiation at the time, but their work set off an explosion of research aimed at harnessing stem cells to treat all kinds of diseases and conditions. Subsequent breakthroughs in stem cell therapy have been used to treat more than 42,000 patients for hemophilia, restore sight to blind mice and even help a 78-year-old man regrow the end of a sliced-off fingertip. And researchers are still unlocking what might be possible.

The potential of regenerative medicine is astounding, says Michael May, president of the Centre for Commercialization of Regenerative Medicine (CCRM), a Toronto non-profit that helps bring new stem cell therapies and other regenerative medicine technologies to market. Researchers are harnessing stem cells to repair, replace or regenerate human cells, tissues and organs with the aim of improving treatments for conditions ranging from diabetes to blindness to heart failure and cancer.

More recent advances most notably Shinya Yamanakas Nobel Prize-winning 2012 discovery that regular adult tissue cells can be reprogrammed to become stem cells again, therefore endowing them with the ability to become any type of cell in the body have also ushered in a new wave of regenerative medicine research and what May calls a global race to bring newly possible cell therapies to market.

As president of CCRM, Mays job is to help move some of that research from the laboratory into the real world. Over the last decade, his organization has helped 11 companies come to market with regenerative medicine technologies, such as Montreals ExCellThera, which provides new therapeutic options for patients who suffer from myeloid leukemia and lack a traditional bone marrow donor.

While the last decade was defined by research and technological breakthroughs, May says the next decade will be all about lowering manufacturing costs and tackling patient access bottlenecks. Last November, CCRM announced that it would partner with McMaster Innovation Park in Hamilton to create Canadas first commercial-scale factory for making cells, which will be able to produce billions of cells enough to treat thousands of patients per week.

Weve just scratched the surface of whats possible in regenerative medicine, May says. He envisions a time when well eventually use these techniques not just to cure and fix human bodies, but also make them better. Now we can make cells, we can design them by genetically engineering them to do things that they naturally do, but that can be more than nature designed, says May. He says the editing of human traits in this way could eventually augment human abilities to such an extent that theyre unrecognizable.

Biomaterials are another technology that could transform regenerative medicine. Before joining CCRM, May himself helped found a Toronto biomaterials startup called Rimon Therapeutics, which developed a smart dressing for chronic wounds that used special polymers to support the bodys natural healing process. Similar advanced biomaterials could eventually be used in combination with cell therapies to not just fight aging and degeneration, but to also prevent it entirely, and even improve upon the human bodys natural baseline health.

Fifty years from now if theres some sort of blindness, well have a lens on the eye that will automatically focus and react or change as the eye ages, he says.

In response to emailed questions, Cellino Biotech CEO and Co-founder Dr. Nabiha Saklayen, talked about the formation of the company and its goal to make stem cell therapies more accessible for patients.

Why did you start this company?

I see a huge need to develop a technology platform to enable the manufacture of cell therapies at scale. We recently closed a $16 million seed financing round led by Khosla Ventures and The Engine at MIT, with participation from Humboldt Fund. Cellino is on a mission to make personalized, autologous cell therapies accessible for patients. Stem cell-derived regenerative medicines are poised to cure some of the most challenging diseases within this decade, including Parkinsons, diabetes, and heart disease. Patient-specific cells provide the safest, most effective cures for these indications. However, current autologous processes are not scalable due to extensive manual handling, high variability, and expensive facility overhead. Cellinos vision is to make personalized regenerative medicines viable at large scale for the first time.

How did you meet your co-founders?

Nabiha Saklayen.

I met my co-founder Marinna Madrid in my Ph.D. research group. We had worked together for many years and had a fantastic working relationship. I then met our third co-founder Matthias Wagner through a friend. Matthias had built and run three optical technology companies in the Boston area and was looking to work with a new team. I was thrilled when we decided to launch the startup together at our second meeting. Matthias built the first Cellino hardware systems in what I like to call Matthias garage. In parallel, I was doing hundreds of expert interviews with biologists in academia and industry, and it started to narrow down our potential applications very quickly. Marinna was doing our first experiments with iPSCs. We iterated rapidly on building new versions of the hardware based on the features that were important to industry experts, such as single-cell precision and automation. Its incredible to witness our swift progress as a team.

What specific need or pain point are you seeking to address in healthcare/life sciences?

In general, autologous therapies are safer for patients because they do not require immunosuppression. The next iteration of cell therapies would use patient-specific stem cells banked ahead of time. Anytime a patient needs new cells, such as blood cells, neurons, or skin cells, we would generate them from a stem cell bank.

Today, patient-specific stem cell generation is a manual and artisanal process. A highly skilled scientist sits at a bench, looks at cells by eye, and removes unwanted cells with a pipette tip. Many upcoming clinical trials are using manual processes to produce stem cells for about ten to twenty patients.

At Cellino, we are converging different disciplines to automate this complex process. We use an AI-based laser system comes to remove any unwanted cells. By making stem cells for every human in an automated, scalable way, we are working towards our mission at Cellino to democratize personalized regenerative medicine.

What does your technology do? How does it work?

Cellinos platform combines label-free imaging and high-speed laser editing with machine learning to automate cell reprogramming, expansion, and differentiation in a closed cassette format, enabling thousands of patient samples to be processed in parallel in a single facility.

In general, autologous, patient-specific stem cell-derived therapies do not require immunosuppression and are safer for patients. Today, patient-specific stem cells are made manually, by hand. To scale the stem cell generation process, Cellino converges different disciplines to automate this complex process. We train machine learning algorithms to characterize cells before our AI-based laser system removes any unwanted cells. By making stem cells for every human in an automated, scalable way, our mission at Cellino is to democratize personalized regenerative medicine. Thats why our vision statement is Every human. Every cell.

Whats your background in healthcare? How did you get to where you are today?

When I arrived at Harvard University for my Ph.D. in physics, I wanted to be closer to real-world applications. Biology is inherently complex and beautiful, and I was interested in developing new physics-based tools to engineer cells with precision. During my Ph.D., I invented new ways to edit cells with laser-based nanomaterials. I collaborated with many brilliant biology groups at Harvard, including the Rossi, Scadden, and Church labs. Working closely with them convinced me that lasers offer a superior solution to editing cells with high precision. That realization compelled me to launch Cellino.

Do you have clinical validation for your product?

Our immediate goal for the next year is to show that our platform can produce personalized, high-quality, R&D-grade stem cells for different patients, which has not been established in an automated manner in the regenerative medicine industry so far. There is significant patient-to-patient variability in manual cell processing, which we eliminate with our platform.

Scribe and student: For the past five years, Brooke Ford has worked her way through college as an emergency room scribe at a few local hospitals. In her senior year at William & Mary, as the COVID-19 pandemic ravaged the nation, she managed medical scribes at two hospitals. Courtesy photo

by Adrienne Berard | April 16, 2021

For the better part of the past year, Brooke Fords return home from work has been an exercise in mitigating the spread of a potentially deadly pathogen.

She pulls off all her personal protective equipment, washes her hands, showers off, changes clothes, throws out any food or drink she may have touchedand greets her family.

I know a lot of people who were scared to even live with their families when they're working in a hospital room, because they didn't want to bring it home, said Ford, a William & Mary health sciences major who graduated in December.

For the past five years, Ford has worked her way through college as an emergency room scribe at a few local hospitals. In her senior year, as the COVID-19 pandemic ravaged the nation, she managed medical scribes at hospitals in Hampton and Newport News.

A scribe is responsible for recording the details of a patient's clinical history, current health issues, diagnoses and any medical procedures that are performed or prescribed, Ford explained. The scribe serves a vital role of being the ears and eyes in the room, so that a physician can focus squarely on treating the patient.

I lead teams at two hospitals, Ford said. During the pandemic, that has been really difficult because I had people that didn't want to come to work, which, I mean, it's scary. I dont blame them for that, but we had to learn to balance the fear and the need to do our jobs.

That balance between fear and the vital work ahead is one that has been familiar to healthcare professionals throughout the world this past year. For students graduating into the industry, the landscape has shifted dramatically, revealing fault lines in Americas healthcare system that these newest professionals are uniquely positioned to witness, study and address.

Matthew Tucker 22 started volunteering as an EMT with the Williamsburg Volunteer Fire Department his freshman year at William & Mary. Hes now the collegiate lieutenant, responsible for managing and training college students on the operations of emergency medical services provided by the local fire station.

I help train incoming college students on operations of the fire station, the ambulance, the equipment, all of those sorts of thing, he said.

This winter, as COVID-19 case numbers surged nationwide, Tucker was one of a handful of student volunteers who worked as first responders, supporting the career EMT staff at the fire station.

I know that the staff paramedics were especially burnt out. They couldnt trade shifts, they couldn't utilize their vacation time, so we were able to provide resources to support them in getting some relief, Tucker said. As students, we were able to see things that we haven't seen for 100 years. The amount of learning that can be done in that environment is astounding, and it has given me tremendous perspective on my future medical path.

Tucker said, as a student concentrating in public health, hes been particularly aware of the health disparities in the community he serves. It was immediately clear to him that the vast majority of emergency calls were coming from low-income neighborhoods.

I believe that we're often responding to places where the healthcare system has failed, where we are their primary care provider, a call to 911, taking them to the emergency room, he said. These disparities have always been there, but we're seeing them very plainly now, how socioeconomic status, job accessibility, food insecurity, all these different things affect someone's risk to COVID and ultimately affect people's health status. Weve not always been in tune to seeing that before the pandemic.

Sophie Kopec 21 spent this past summer analyzing data on experimental, early-stage clinical trials for the cell and gene medicine division of the non-profit Alliance for Regenerative Medicine. Explaining what she does is a key part of the job.

Its such an up-and-coming field that there are negative trigger words, all this stigma, especially around cell therapy, she said. So, part of my job was to look at data from all of these regenerative medicine clinical trials to identify the most promising ones. Then we translate that data into the commercial field to help show consumers that this is real, valid, verified science. Its not some kind of scam.

Kopec describes regenerative medicine as using the body's own functions to train it to fix itself.

For example, take gene therapy, in that case you have editing technology like CRISPR, where you can go in and actually edit the bodys genes and reprogram them to respond to the treatment and then body essentially heals itself, she said.

Kopec entered William & Mary with her sights hard-set on chemistry. It wasnt until her junior year, when she was working her way down the list of general education requirements, that she enrolled in a Foundations of Epidemiology course with Assistant Professor of Kinesiology and Health Sciences Carrie Dolan.

After taking that class, everything changed and I shifted my focus to public health, Kopec said. Ill always be grateful to William & Mary for that. I came into school with tunnel vision. I was going to go to med school and work in scrubs or in a lab, but my education broadened my perspective. Actually, it did more than that, it revealed my passion to me. Had I not been forced off track by the general education requirements, I would have never found this incredible spark and pursued this passion that I have now.

Graduation can be an anxiety-inducing milestone, even in the best of times. For those entering careers in the healthcare industry, the uncertainty of the pandemic has added another layer of stress and hope for overcoming the challenges of the past.

Next month, Kopec starts her new job as a clinical research coordinator at Children's National Hospital in D.C. Shell be serving in the neuro-oncology unit, working with children who have not responded to traditional therapy measures and providing experimental treatment that is often the last and only resort left. Her first in-person day at the hospital is scheduled for June 1.

Well be doing clinical trials that offer more therapeutic approaches to treating these late-stage tumors, she said. Even if the end result for some of these patients may be death, at least we know that we did everything in our power to help them and give them another chance to keep fighting and have another opportunity at life.

When Ford began her studies at William & Mary, she was interested in emergency medicine. She wanted to learn to respond in crisis to keep people alive. Now, after all she has witnessed in this year of pandemic, she hopes to study palliative care. She wants to learn how to help people live and die with dignity.

In medical school, they teach you how to save people, but what happens when you cant save them, when there is nothing else you can do? she said. Its not a conversation were often prepared for, but its so important. In a lot of ways, how can you know how you want to live if you don't know how you want to die?

So many families this year have had to make those choices for family members and they don't know what choices those family members would want to make for themselves, she added. Theyve had to make those choices, because those conversations haven't been had. I want to be there to help have those hard conversations.

After graduating from William & Mary, Tucker plans to go to medical school to obtain Master of Public Health and Medical Doctor degrees. He plans to work primarily with people experiencing homelessness and be able to treat them holistically.

If theres one main thing that I think that weve all learned this pandemic, its that health is incredibly complex, Tucker said. Truly, everything that we do impacts our health, every societal factor, institutional factor, personal factor that's put into place influences somebodys health.

Lessons learned: W&M students working in healthcare reflect on a year of pandemic - William & Mary News

MIAMI--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Organicell Regenerative Medicine, Inc. (OTCMKTS: BPSR), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company dedicated to the development of regenerative therapies, today announced that it has entered into an agreement with Oklahoma State University to evaluate Zofin for the treatment of respiratory diseases caused by virus infections of pandemic potential. This study site follows the Companys earlier announcement of the agreement reached with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to conduct research to determine the anti-inflammatory and anti-infective effectiveness of Zofin in experimental models of influenza infection.

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has infected over 5 million people globally and caused over 300,000 case fatalities in 188 countries. Additionally, the CDC estimates between 39-55 million influenza related illnesses and more than 60,000 deaths due to influenza. The observed illnesses and case fatalities are primarily due to the lack of known effective antivirals and prophylactic vaccines to attenuate the viruses.

In this agreement, Organicell will supply Oklahoma State University with its lead compound, Zofin, which is an acellular material derived from human amniotic fluid. This extracellular vesicle-derived nanoparticle-based therapeutic will be assessed on its ability to induce antiviral and/or immunomodulatory activity against virus infections of pandemic potential as there is an unmet need for non-toxic and effective therapeutic approaches to deal with current and imminent pandemics.

Organicell is dedicated to continuing regenerative therapy research for diseases with unmet needs. We are thrilled to be partnering with Oklahoma State University and the CDC on the study of Zofin for viral infections of pandemic proportions. A year into the pandemic has shown us the importance of research aimed at the development of biologics, said Albert Mitrani, CEO of Organicell.

We are excited to partner with Oklahoma State University and the CDC to investigate how the extracellular vesicle-derived nanoparticles, in Zofin, will impact antiviral and/or immunomodulatory activity of viral infections with pandemic potential. Dr. Mari Mitrani, Chief Science Officer of Organicell.

About Zofin:

Zofin is an acellular biologic therapeutic derived from perinatal sources and is manufactured to retain naturally occurring microRNAs, without the addition or combination of any other substance or diluent.

Organicell and Oklahoma State University Enter Into Agreement To Study Zofin in Respiratory Diseases Caused By Virus Infections Of Pandemic Potential...

Newswise A Phase II clinical trial to assess mesenchymal adult stem cells as a disease-modifying therapy for Parkinson's disease has been launched at The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston (UTHealth).

"Studies have shown mesenchymal stem cells can migrate to the sites of injury and respond to the environment by secreting several anti-inflammatory and growth factor molecules that can restore tissue equilibrium and disrupt neuronal death," said Mya C. Schiess, MD, professor in the Department of Neurology and director and founder of the movement disorder subspeciality clinic and fellowship program at McGovern Medical School at UTHealth. "The stem cells interact directly with the immune cells, leading to an anti-inlammatory state that allows a restorative process to take place."

Safety and tolerability results, assessed on a previous trial, were recently published in the journal Movement Disorders. The Phase I study showed that there were no serious adverse reactions related to the stem cell influsion and no immunological reactions to the cells, which come from the bone marrow of a healthy adult donor. The study enrolled 20 patients with mild to moderate disease, who were infused with one of four different dosages and monitored for a year. Additionally, researchers reported a reduction in preripheral inflammatory markers and a reduction in motor symptoms.

Parkinson's diease is the second most common neurodegenerative disease, affecting more than a million Americans. It is also the fastest-growning of the neurodegenerative diseases, with more than 60,000 new cases identified every year. It is predicted that by 2040, Parkinson's disease will affect 17.5 million people worldwide.

Research has shown that one of the forces playing a critical role in the diease's development and progression is a chronic neuroinflammatory process that damages the brain's microenvironment and alters its healthy equilibrium. Inflammatiion perpetuates the neurodegenration in the brain areas that control movement, causing the tremors, imbalance, loss of speech, slowness, and other motor impairments.

The randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase II trial will investigate the safest and most effective number of repeat doses of stem cells to slow the progression of Parkinson's disease. The study will enroll 45 patients, ages 50 to 79, who will receive three infusions of either placebo or stem cell therapy at three-month intervals and will be followed for a year after the last infusion.

"Currently, there is no approved therapy that can delay the degenerative process in Parkinson's disease," Schiess said. "By investigating a treatment that can slow or stop the progression, we hope to improve the quality of life of those suffering from the disease. The ultimate goal is to use this treatment in individuals with a prodromal condition, meaning they are showing early signs of Parkinson's disease but are not yet clinically symptomatic. We hope to be able to potentially stop the diease's conversion or clinical manifestation in patients who are high-risk."

The Phase II trial, approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, is supported with funding from the Michael J. Fox Foundation, John S. Dunn Foundation, and John and Kyle Kirksey.

Other McGovern Medical School faculty co-authors on the paper included Jessika Suescun, MD, Christopher Adams, MD, and Sean Savitz, MD, in the Department of Neurology. Marie-Francoise Doursout, PhD, Department of Anesthesiology; Charles Green, PhD, Department of Pediatrics; and Jerome G. Saltarrelli, PhD, Department of Surgery. Timothy M. Ellmore, PhD, Department of Psychology at the City College of New York, N.Y., was senior author.

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