Greek Epidemiology Professor Dr. Dimitrios Paraskevis, the scientist who broke the coronavirus DNA, speaks exclusively to Greek City Times and provides answers on the potential availability of a vaccine against the virus, what we should be mindful of and how the lethal coronavirus started spreading.

By Konstantinos Sarrikostas

What is it actually like running after lethal viruses on a daily basis, 24 hours per day; locating, analyzing and decoding genetic material which leaves a hecatomb of dead people in its wake?

The Father of Medicine Hippocrates became the founder of Orthologic Medicine discouraging his fellow citizens from metaphysical elements, superstitions and even prejudices. Actually, he said that in serious diseases, the most effective method in treatment is absolute accuracy and fastidiousness, which modern doctors, who follow his oath, literally strive for in the healing of their fellow human beings.

Dr. Dimitrios Paraskevis, a modern Hippocrates, is Deputy Professor of Preventive Medicine and Hygienic Epidemiology at the Medical School of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens. Along with two fellow colleagues, he has managed -in time- to analyse and decode the DNA of the lethal coronavirus which recently broke out in China and has alarmed the international community.

According to Dr. Dimitrios Paraskevis we are in the final stages of discovering a vaccine against the virus, its cause and origin and vital information on how to protect ourselves from it.

As he points out, in a few months time we will have the vaccine against the coronavirus; but what is absolutely essential is the total implementation of hygiene rules and most importantly behave with great composure.

THE INTERVIEW

Professor, the entire planet is discussing the coronavirus and peoples concern is really great. Could you please tell us in simple terms what the coronavirus is and why it has spread so rapidly?

The coronavirus spreads relatively easy for several reasons, the most significant one being that it can be spread by droplets if someone is exposed to them, for instance through sneezing or coughing. Other reasons include the fact that no preventative measures were taken to contain the virus or at the very least limit its spread, especially when it first infected people at the end of November and the beginning of December 2019 a period of prime importance.

This happened because it is an unknown virus and as such there was no awareness amongst the people in China in order that they initiate the necessary control measures. Therefore, when a great number of people have already been infected, you realise that from that point on, it is more difficult to control the infection. Moreover, owing to the fact that universal transfers are really easy nowadays, a disease can easily be spread globally.

From your studies and genetic analysis as the lead scientist of your research team , have you reached a conclusion about how it started? Was it, after all, spread by bats or could it be a lab product: a discussion which exists globally?

The coronavirus belongs to a team which is characterized as B team and its the same team to which the virus which caused the epidemic SARS in 2003 belongs. The genetic material of the virus which has caused this present epidemic, presents a great proportion with the genetic material of the relevant virus infecting bats.

Talking about proportion we mean that it reaches the level of 96%; that is, the possible source of infection is this particular animal, i.e. bats. Of course, we cannot rule out the fact that the infection can be made by another animal, another carrier, another mammal which has been infected by bats and this, in turn, transferred it to humans. This will be hard to find because we have to find the particular animal and locate the truth, the part of the virus which caused the infection. But, on the other hand, it is not of a particular importance either for epidemiology or for research in the creation of vaccines or antivirus drugs.

As to whether the virus has been created in a lab, that is, if it is a product of human intervention, I would like to assure you that such theories exist almost always in every epidemic with every new virus.

There is no possibility scientifically- that something like this has happened. There is no possibility because it was confirmed that this virus exists in animals, the infections from animals to people are very frequent and also all the people from whom it was isolated and characteristically the virus in China during the period of December, had an identical virus, which means that this was the result of infections among diverse people. Therefore, allow me to repeat that human intervention or the possible origin from a lab, should be indisputably ruled out.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has not used the term pandemic yet. Is it, Professor, a pandemic and when does a pandemic exist?

A pandemic, according to WHO, is defined as such when the epidemic has a great spread in, at least, two areas, in two continents. The areas as they are defined by WHO, are not exactly the geographic continents, but they are slightly different. Not to get into many details, the definition of pandemic refers to the geographic spread and not as much to the number of cases.

In Greece, for the time being, there are no certified cases. Do you believe, too, that it is a matter of time before we will be seeing our first case? How well-prepared is our country with the measures that are increasingly updated.

In Greece, there is no certified case. There may be but it is unlikely that there are any. The authorities have taken the appropriate measures, have announced the protection measures to be undertaken by health professionals, by the population and what people who travel should be mindful of.

We are informed about measures in airports and there has been an attempt for a prompt diagnosis of a possible case which is absolutely important to limit further infections.

Is the diagnosis of the specific virus easy and what are the symptoms?

The symptoms are identical to the ones of the flu and the definition of a potential case is related to whether someone has been exposed to other people from areas in which there are cases. That is, a fellow citizen who has not travelled and has flu symptoms, as you realise, does not have this virus.

So, in the first stages and absence of a case in Greece, if someone has symptoms, these symptoms should be accompanied with an exposure to another possible case, obviously and possibly outside Greece so that there may be a realistic possibility that they have been infected. Therefore, our fellow-citizens are more likely to suffer from the flu or another virus rather than the coronavirus.

The documentation of the infection, is feasible at the Paster Institute as well as in other laboratories which can diagnose if an infection is caused by this specific virus.

As far as travelling is concerned and according to WHO, people should not restrict their travels unless they are in areas in which there is a great number of cases. However, they should follow all the instructions which are recommended in reference to the prevention of infection from these viruses. What are some preventative measures?

People should wash their hands with soap for about 20 seconds and especially when they are in congested places such as airports; they should avoid touching their eyes, nose or mouth with their hands. So, when we find ourselves in public places where there are several fellow- citizens, we should bear in mind that we must take great care of our hands hygiene and that they must not touch our face. Also, if we feel symptoms identical to the ones of the flu, we should stay home, so that we dont expose other people to danger; and if symptoms persist, we should ask for medical advice.

Is the mask just some fashion accessory or does it actually contribute to the restriction of the virus spread?

The mask does not constitute the absolute means of protection and it doesnt mean that anyone who wears it is either totally or to a great extent protected from a possible flu infection or coronavirus. The role of the mask is to protect other people from the sufferer who must wear it. If they sneeze while talking, much fewer droplets are exposed, therefore the mask is a way of protection, especially for the protection of others. So, someone wearing a mask should be aware of the fact that they are not totally protected from these viruses.

Professor, why is this virus so lethal? There have have already been 630 deaths and more than 31.400 cases*?

We should clarify the following: The coronavirus is not so lethal in relation to other viruses. The number of deaths concerns a relatively great number of people about whom the coronavirus infection has been documented. Coronavirus as well as flu virus causes, to a great extent, very mild symptoms.

As a result, the number of people who have been infected is much bigger than the number of people whose infection has been documented. So, the denominator, when we estimate death-rate, is much bigger because the real number of the cases is unknown and a lot bigger related to those who have the infection documented.

Until now, the death-rate was considered to be approximately 3% to 4% but it is possibly much less because as I already earlier the real number of the cases is unknown.

Those who are more susceptible to this infection are older people, vulnerable groups and people who suffer from chronic heart diseases, chronic breathing diseases and immunodeficiency. The above categories constitute the percentage of serious symptoms or death.

How far or how close are we for the coronavirus vaccine creation? Can we be optimistic since a relative treatment for very old viruses and lethal diseases has not been found yet?

There are viruses, as you have correctly mentioned, for which it is not easy to develop vaccines. Hopefully, the coronavirus does not have these characteristics.

We consider that the coronavirus vaccine will be available relatively quickly, possibly even in a few months if we also estimate the time required for clinical tests.

Several Institutes and Centres have actively engaged in the creation of the vaccine. It is believed that in some weeks vaccines will be available for clinical tests. In the meantime, protection measures are vital for the restriction of the virus and for our protection.

I would like to point out once more: there are other viruses and diseases that are really dangerous. I realise how worried people are; the coronavirus is something new. However, Greece and the international community have been confronted with similar threats before, over the last 10 years, a fact that fills us with optimism.

We have the experience and the know-how so that we can face this menace effectively. What is really necessary is composure and optimism about the fact that even this disease will be challenged effectively with minimum human cost.

Massive Genetic Map of Cancer Mutations Cataloged Available to Doctors and Researchers Worldwide – SciTechDaily

February 11th, 2020 6:44 pm

Mutations in 38 different types of cancer have been mapped by means of whole genome analysis by an international team of researchers from, amongst others, the University of Copenhagen, Aarhus University, Aarhus University Hospital, and Rigshospitalet. The researchers have compiled a catalog of the cancer mutations that will be available worldwide to doctors and researchers.

Globally, cancer is one of the biggest killers and in 2018, an estimated 9.6 million people died of the disease. In order to provide the best treatment for the disease, it is essential to find out which mutations are driving the cancer.

We have studied and analyzed the whole genome, and our analyses of mutations that are affecting cancer genes have enabled us to genetically explain 95 percent of the cancer occurrences we have studied by means of mutations. Joachim Weischenfeldt

In a major international collaboration called Pan-Cancer Analysis of Whole Genomes (PCAWG), researchers from the University of Copenhagen, Aarhus University, Aarhus University Hospital, and Rigshospitalet have helped to map mutations in 38 different types of cancer.

The mutations have all been combined into a sort of catalog. The catalog, which is already available online, allows doctors and researchers from all over the world to look things up, consult with and find information about the cancer of a given patient.

Most previous major studies have focused on the protein coding two percent of the genome. We have studied and analyzed the whole genome, and our analyses of mutations that are affecting cancer genes have enabled us to genetically explain 95 percent of the cancer occurrences we have studied by means of mutations, says co-author Joachim Weischenfeldt, Associate Professor at the Biotech Research & Innovation Centre, University of Copenhagen, and the Finsen Laboratory, Rigshospitalet.

So, if you know which mutations have caused cancer, the so-called driver mutations, you will be able to better tailor a treatment with the most suitable drugs or design new drugs against the cancer. Precision medicine is completely dependent on the mapping of driver mutations in each cancer, in relation to diagnosis, prognosis and improved treatment, says co-author Jakob Skou Pedersen, professor at Bioinformatics Research Centre and Department of Clinical Medicine, Aarhus University, and Aarhus University Hospital.

The new research results are published in a special edition of the scientific journal Nature with focus on PCAWG. To date, it is the largest whole genome study of primary cancer. This means that the analysis was performed based on material from the tissue in which the tumor originated and before the patient has received any treatment.

The researchers have mainly analyzed and had data on the most common types of cancer such as liver, breast, pancreas and prostate cancer. In total, they have analyzed whole genome-sequenced tumor samples from more than 2,600 patients.

Based on their analyses, they could see that the number of mutations in a cancer type varies a lot. Myeloid dysplasia and cancer in children have very few mutations, while there may be up to 100,000 mutations in lung cancer.

But even though the number of mutations spans widely, researchers could see that on average there were always 4-5 mutations that were driving the disease, the so-called drivers no matter what type of cancer it was.

It is quite surprising that almost all of them have the same number of driver mutations. However, it is consistent with theories that a cancerous tumor needs to change a certain number of mechanisms in the cell before things start to go wrong, says Jakob Skou Pedersen.

In the catalog, the researchers have divided the mutations into drivers and passengers. Driver mutations provide a growth benefit for the cancer, while passenger mutations cover all the others and are harmless. The vast majority of all mutations are passengers.

To store and process the vast amount of data, the research team has used so-called cloud computing, using 13 data centers spread across three continents. They have had centers in Europe, the US, and Asia.

The large data set has been necessary to establish what was common and unique to the different types of cancer. Today, cancer is divided according to the tissue in which the disease originates, for example breast, brain, and prostate.

The researchers found many things that were completely unique to each type of tissue. Conversely, they also found many common traits across the tissue types. According to Joachim Weischenfeldt, there is thus a need to rethink the way we think about cancer.

Cancer is a genetic disease, and the type of mutations is often more important than where the cancer originates in the body. This means that we need to think of cancer not just as a tissue-specific disease, but rather look at it based on genetics and the mutations it has.

For example, we may have a type of breast cancer and prostate cancer where the driver mutations are similar. This means that the patient with prostate cancer may benefit from the same treatment as the one you would give the breast cancer patient, because the two types share an important driver mutation, says Joachim Weischenfeldt.

Genentech Provides Topline Results From Investigator-Led Phase II/III Trial With Gantenerumab in Rare Inherited Form of Alzheimer’s Disease – BioSpace

February 11th, 2020 6:44 pm

Feb. 10, 2020 06:00 UTC

SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Genentech, a member of the Roche Group (SIX: RO, ROG; OTCQX: RHHBY), announced today that the gantenerumab arm of the Phase II/III DIAN-TU-001 study did not meet its primary endpoint in people who have an early-onset, inherited form of Alzheimers disease (AD). This form of AD, known as autosomal dominant AD (ADAD), accounts for less than 1% of all cases of the disease. The study, sponsored by Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, did not show a significant slowing of the rate of cognitive decline in people treated with investigational medicine gantenerumab as measured by the novel DIAN Multivariate Cognitive Endpoint, compared with placebo. Overall, gantenerumab's safety profile in DIAN-TU-001 was consistent with that from other clinical trials of the investigational medicine and no new safety issues were identified.

Genentech and Roche are conducting additional analyses to understand the totality of the gantenerumab data from the study, in collaboration with Washington University School of Medicine. Data will be presented at the AAT-AD/PD Focus meeting in April 2020.

We are very grateful to all those involved in this study and hope the data can further contribute to the science and collective understanding of this complex disease, said Levi Garraway, M.D., Ph.D., chief medical officer and head of Global Product Development. Although DIAN-TU didnt reach its primary endpoint, the trial represents the first of its kind and a bold undertaking by all partners involved. Given its experimental nature, we are unable to draw firm conclusions about the impact of gantenerumab in autosomal dominant Alzheimer's disease. This outcome does not reduce our confidence in the ongoing Phase III GRADUATE clinical program.

Gantenerumab, a late-stage investigational medicine, continues to be studied in two large global Phase III studies (GRADUATE 1 and 2) in the broader population of people with AD that is not directly caused by gene mutations (sporadic AD). Every person with ADAD who received gantenerumab in DIAN-TU-001 started on a lower dose and only started titrating to a fivefold higher target dose approximately halfway through the trial, prompted by learnings from other studies of gantenerumab. The GRADUATE studies have been designed from the outset to maximize exposure to gantenerumab, bringing all patients to target dose with minimal or no dose interruption within the study period.

Genentech and Roches AD pipeline spans investigational medicines for different targets, types and stages of AD. In addition to the gantenerumab program, Genentech and Roche are evaluating semorinemab in Phase II studies in sporadic AD. Crenezumab also continues to be studied in the Alzheimers Prevention Initiative Phase II trial in ADAD.

About the DIAN-TU-001 study

DIAN-TU-001 is a Phase II/III study sponsored by Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, United States. The study tested two investigational therapies compared to placebo (Genentech and Roches gantenerumab and Eli Lilly and Company's solanezumab) to determine if either of these treatments could slow the rate of cognitive decline and improve disease-related biomarkers in people who are known to have a genetic mutation for inherited AD. The primary outcome measure for the study the DIAN Multivariate Cognitive Endpoint is a novel outcome measure designed to assess cognitive performance in people with ADAD.

The study followed 194 participants for up to 7 years; the average was about 5 years. Fifty-two people were randomized to active gantenerumab in the study. All participants came from families that carry a genetic mutation that causes inherited AD. The small study included people who did not yet have symptoms of AD at the time of enrollment as well as people who already had mild symptoms of the disease. There are 24 study centers worldwide for DIAN-TU-001, across the United States, Australia, Canada, France, Spain and the United Kingdom.

In the DIAN-TU-001 study, the most common adverse events reported more frequently with gantenerumab than placebo were injection-site reactions, infection of the nose and throat (nasopharyngitis), and amyloid-related imaging abnormalities (ARIA), manifesting as cerebral edema or microhemorrhages. The majority of ARIA findings were asymptomatic; if symptoms occurred, they were mild in nature and resolved.

About autosomal dominant Alzheimers disease

Autosomal dominant AD (ADAD; also known as familial AD or dominantly-inherited AD [DIAD]) is a rare, inherited form of AD caused by single gene mutations in the APP, PSEN1 or PSEN2 genes. Less than 1% of all AD cases worldwide are thought to be caused by genetic mutations. It usually has a much earlier onset than the more common sporadic AD, with symptoms developing in people in their 30s to 60s. If an individual has one of these mutations, there is a 50% chance they will pass it on to each of their children.

About gantenerumab

Gantenerumab is an investigational medicine designed to bind to aggregated forms of beta-amyloid and remove beta-amyloid plaques, a pathological hallmark of AD thought to lead to brain cell death. Previous clinical studies of gantenerumab showed beta-amyloid plaque lowering in people with the more common form of AD that is not directly caused by gene mutations. The clinical significance of this effect is being investigated in two Phase III studies (GRADUATE 1 and 2), which are assessing the safety and efficacy of gantenerumab for the treatment of people with sporadic AD. The GRADUATE program is currently enrolling more than 2,000 patients in up to 350 study centers in more than 30 countries worldwide.

To fight the coronavirus, labs are printing its genome – The Verge

February 11th, 2020 6:43 pm

Advancements in genetic technology are making it easier, faster, and less expensive for public health experts to understand how the new coronavirus spreads. Time is of the essence for the people on the frontlines of this viral outbreak as the virus has already sickened more than 40,000 people and killed 910.

Researchers got an early win in January. It only took two weeks after public health officials reported the virus to the World Health Organization (WHO) for scientists to isolate the virus and figure out the full sequence of its genetic material. As soon as that sequence was public, biotechnology companies started creating synthetic copies of the virus that could be used in research.

This all happened faster than it ever has before. During the SARS outbreak in 2002, it was months before the viral genome was sequenced and longer still before it was remade in the lab. Speed is important because the outbreak is unlike anything public health experts have seen before. Since the start of February, over 20,000 new people developed confirmed cases of the viral infection. Despite efforts to stop the spread of the virus, some experts worry that it wont be possible.

Genetic synthesis is also much cheaper than it was two decades ago. Then, it cost $10 to create a synthetic copy of one single nucleotide, the building block of genetic material. Now, its under 10 cents. The new coronavirus gene is around 30,000 nucleotides long, so that reduction in price makes a big difference in how many copies scientists can make.

With genetic sequences and synthetic copies, experts were able to quickly develop diagnostic tests for the virus. Last week, just over a month after the virus was reported, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) started shipping testing kits it developed to labs in the US and internationally. It was also able to start creating vaccines. Dozens are under development at pharmaceutical companies, and Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institutes of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, says that one vaccine candidate will enter clinical trials within three months.

In our latest Verge Science video, we take a look at the genetic processes that made these developments possible and how theyre helping in the fight against the coronavirus epidemic.

Correction: An earlier version of this story referred to the coronavirus genetic material as DNA. The coronavirus is an RNA virus.

The use of biotechnological sciences is prevalent in many sectors. The agricultural biotechnology market can be categorized into two main segments: transgenic seeds and crop protection techniques. The application of biotechnology in the agricultural field helps in developing plants, animals and other living beings, by modifying them genetically, which can increase the productivity of crops (transgenic or genetically modified). It can also protect crops from destructive diseases. It is an innovative technology which has proven to be cost effective for the production of crops. With the rising population across the world, clearly theres a requirement for more food production, which is mostly dependent on farming.

There is a gap between the demand of food grains and their supply. This method of crop production results in more varieties of crops, with a higher yield, which is high in nutritional value and resistant to pests, giving a longer shelf life to the products. Some of the major crops being produced by genetic modification are soybean, corn, and potato. Apart from food consumption, this technology is also used to meet the demand for biofuels. Seed manufacturing companies like Monsanto (US), DuPont (US), Sakata (Japan) etc. are major producers of corn, which is used as biofuel and in the production of bio-plastic. The rising per capita income and decreasing area of cultivatable land are other factors promoting the growth of the global agricultural biotechnology industry.

North America dominated the production of genetically modified crops in 2015. There is more awareness and acceptance of this kind of crop production in American countries, along with supportive governmental laws and regulations. Major production companies are based in this region, which are heavily investing in the research and development of agricultural biotechnology. North America is expected to maintain its dominance throughout the forecast period and drive this market towards further growth. The Asia Pacific region is also witnessing a tremendous growth in the agricultural biotechnology market due to its rising population, and the demand for food and biotechnology based products.

This region is rapidly adapting modern techniques for farming. Genetically modified golden, pest resistant biotech wheat, and insect resistant biotech mustard are some of the crops that are being mass produced for consumption in this region. However, the European market is hesitant to the production of genetically modified crops. The European Union has developed and implemented a complex policy framework, since the 1990s, which has slowed down and limited the research and development of genetically modified crops. These regulations are likely to hinder the growth of the global agricultural biotechnology market in this region.

Syngenta AG, Monsanto, DuPont, Performance Plants Inc., Global Bio-Chem Technology Group, and ADAMA Agricultural Solutions are some of the key players in this industry.

Generex Biotechnology Announces Corporate Update and Investor Conference Call: Addressing the Coronavirus Pandemic with Ii-Key Peptide Vaccines -…

February 11th, 2020 6:43 pm

MIRAMAR, Fla., Feb. 10, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Generex Biotechnology Corporation(www.generex.com) (OTCQB:GNBT) today announced that Joe Moscato, President & Chief Executive Officer and the team from NuGenerex Immuno-Oncology will hold an investor conference call on Thursday February 13, 2020 at 11:00AM Eastern time.

Agenda

On the call, Mr. Moscato and his team will provide an overview of how NuGenerex Immuno-Oncologys Ii-Key technology is clinically proven to activate the immune system against numerous viruses including H5N1 avian influenza virus and a review of work with development partners & government agencies to implement Ii-Key peptide vaccines to implement a rapid response vaccination strategy that can provide immunity to the 2019-nCOV and Avian influenza (Bird Flu). Additionally, management will discuss the opportunity for NuGenerex Diagnostics to develop a rapid test for 2019-nCOV in respiratory and blood samples using its proprietary NGDx Express 2 rapid diagnostic technology.

Mr. Moscato will also provide details on a variety of upcoming corporate actions, including closing of the ALTuCELL acquisition, the S1 funding, an update on the Nasdaq listing process, the public spinout of NGIO directly to Nasdaq, and an overview of plans to initiate the Arizona operations and partnerships with physician groups to establish an end-to-end, comprehensive solution for managing patients with diabetes.

Mr. Moscato said, As announced last week, we will finally pay our stock dividend to our valuable shareholders on February 24th. This dividend fulfills the promises we made when we took over as management three years ago to reward shareholders when we advance our strategy to rebuild Generex. Once the dividend is paid, we can price the S1 and take in our funding, which will enable us to execute on our go forward plans. The S1 funding will allow us to close ALTuCELL and initiate clinical trials of their cell encapsulation technology for the treatment of Type I and Type II diabetes. Continuing our efforts in diabetes management, we plan to start our Arizona operations and begin the buildout of our multi-specialty, integrated care model for diabetes patients in collaboration with our physician partners at three major primary care and endocrinology practices under the banner of NuGenerex Health. Additionally, we have secured a surgery center as part of our integrated care model, which will advance our ultimate goal to set up the NuGenerex Health MSO and HMO in Arizona.

Mr. Moscato continued, With the impending S1 funding, we can fully fund the commercial operations of our subsidiaries with the sales, marketing, and operating budgets that our FDA cleared products deserve. We will expand the Excellagen sales force, and roll out two new product offerings from Olaregen, Dermacell and Olarex, which we expect to generate significant sales going forward. We are also excited about the launch of Excellagen Aesthetics in the aesthetic dermatology market. We will also expand the sales and marketing effort and build the inventory of MediSource Partners and Pantheon to focus on geographic expansion and revenue growth.

In addition to funding our revenue generating subsidiaries we will fund our clinical development stage subsidiaries, including Regentys, which will initiate the manufacturing and clinical supply of Extra-Cellular Matrix Hydrogel (ECMH) for the treatment of ulcerative colitis and inflammatory bowel diseases. We will continue to fund NuGenerex Immuno-Oncology and our ongoing Phase II clinical trial of AE37 peptide immunotherapeutic vaccine in combination with pembrolizumab (Mercks Keytruda) which is currently recruiting patients. We are excited that once the dividend is paid, we will be able to execute on all of our endeavors that will manifest into the enterprise we envisioned when we took over Generex with a promise to build shareholder value. Part of that strategy was to reclaim the value of our immunotherapy assets that include AE37 and the Ii-Key technology for cancer immunotherapy, and we are now positioned to realize that goal through the spin-out of NuGenerex immuno-Oncology (NGIO) as a separate public company on the Nasdaq.

Mr. Moscato concluded, The emergence of the coronavirus pandemic reminds us of the mid-2000s when Generex maintained a robust and successful research effort to make a rapid-response pandemic virus vaccine based on the Ii-Key technology that the company utilizes for our cancer immunotherapy program. A decade ago, Dr. Eric von Hofe, Chief Scientific Officer of NGIO and his team developed potential Ii-Key peptide vaccines for avian influenza (bird flu), swine flu, and SARS. Dr. von Hofe will discuss how Generex can revive the Ii-Key pandemic R&D program to fight the threat of the deadly 2019-nCOV pandemic, how our Ii-Key technology works to generate a protective immune system response, and how fast, easy and cost effective we can manufacture Ii-Key vaccines given our vast experience in the field. We also hope to provide an update on potential opportunities on which we have been working with Chinese entities and partners to deploy our Ii-Key peptide vaccine solution in China.

As always, Generex President & Chief Executive Officer, Joseph Moscato welcomes questions from shareholders during the call.

Dial-in instructions for the investor conference call will be announced prior to the meeting date.

They Are Happier. They Are In Less Pain: Butler Co. Vet Uses Stem Cell Therapy To Help Heal Dogs – CBS Pittsburgh

February 11th, 2020 6:41 pm

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) Dr. Mike Hutchinson, DVM performed his first stem cell procedure in 2008. Nearly 12 years later, he can tell you all about his first case.

It was a lab mix. It couldnt get up on this floor. We tried to help it up, and it was having trouble walking so we treated it, says Hutchinson.

Fourteen days later, it came for suture removal, and it was already walking in here. He even put his front feet on the table.

Based on early success stories like that, KDKA-TV featured a 10-year-old German Shepherd named Angel.

When we met her, Angel limped noticeably from arthritis in her hips. After stem cell treatment, the dogs owner Jane Fornear says her beloved pet looked like a new dog.

Within 48 hours, her eyes were clear, explained Fornear.

She had Angel show us how much better she felt: she asked the big shepherd to sit in front of her, then told Angel, Give me your paw.

WATCH: Angels Journey To Recovery

Angel immediately lifted her right paw and put in in Fornears waiting hand about 3 feet off the ground.

Jane released the paw and said, Give me your other paw. Just as quickly, Angel lifted her left front paw off the ground and put it in Fornears other hand.

You could almost hear the tears building in Fornears voice as she petted her dogs face and ears. We couldnt give our paw before because our arms and legs hurt too much, didnt they?

Fast forward to 2014. Panzer is a large breed mix who tore the anterior cruciate ligament in one of his legs.

Dr. Mike told Panzers owner the dog would be a great candidate to use injected stem cells to help speed healing in the joint.

Sharon Germain remembers that conversation like it just happened: I just sat there going really? And I said anything to make things heal better and make him feel better. I was on board immediately.

Seven months after having the ACL repair surgery with stem cells, KDKA was there with Sharon watching Panzer tear through the November snow in Germains backyard like a hyperactive puppy.

Seeing is believing. Its just Germain paused and then let out a big sigh. It just does your heart good to see this. Germain was fully convinced it had worked for her dog.

Since those early surgeries, Hutchinson has never stopped talking about using stem cells to treat animals that are in pain.

In 2015, he told KDKA, Its just rewarding to hear from grateful pet owners over and over and over, said the Ohio State Vet School graduate. Its why I do it.

Panzer lived four years after his initial stem cell treatment. Germain said he never slowed down because his pain was gone.

It was like nothing ever happened to him. It was like he never even had surgery, says Germain. I mean, outside of a little white hair where the surgery incision was made, that was it.

Many other animals have had similar results. Hutchinson has now given stem cells to more than 1,100 animals. Many of the pets are dogs, but he has also worked with race horses as well as racing camels in the Middle East.

WATCH: Panzers Experience With Stem Cells

He has lectured and scrubbed in on stem cell surgeries around the world, Canada, South America, Australia, and across the United States.

Yet the majority of the surgeries are done at his Animal General veterinary practice in Cranberry, Butler County everyday pets like Baxter who had not one, but two torn ACLs.

They were both completely severed, explained Baxters owner Nicole Mountain of OHara Township.

He had no mobility. He had no use of his back legs. My husband Jeff was carrying him outside to use the bathroom.

Baxter is a not a little dog. He is a 95 pound Staffordshire-terrier mix. He tore those knee ligaments in 2014.

Another orthopedic vet repaired the injured joints with a procedure called PTLO surgery. It involved putting metal plates in his back legs. The Mountains were warned that it would be a long and painful recovery for their dog and for them.

Mountain agrees saying it was every bit as bad as they warned and then some.

Baxter was moaning in pain, Mountain says. He was pumped up with so much pain medication he was vomiting. He couldnt hold food down. He couldnt move.

Eighteen months later, Baxter was mostly healed from the surgeries, but he was still in significant pain. That is when the Mountains learned of Dr. Hutchinsons use of stem cells.

Nicole was ready to go from the moment she heard about the procedure. Her husband Jeff wasnt exactly sold.

Ill be honest, when Nicole sent us out there, I thought it was crazy. You know, I honestly did, said Jeff Mountain. I said youre sending us to this Voodoo doctor to do this stem cell treatment. I said, Where is it going to stop?'

Mountain had lived through the ordeal of helping Baxter heal from his ligament problems.

My husband was calling from Samsonite because we had one of those Help-Me harnesses, and he was lifting him up and carrying him out like luggage.

When they heard about how other dogs had been helped by stem cells, they decided to give it a try. Dr. Hutchinson recalls the conversation with the Mountains at their initial consultation.

They wanted to know if the stem cells would help the arthritis, and I said thats exactly what I would treat it with. That would be my gold therapy for that so we did that, and that had a very positive response as well. Then we were able to bank some of those cells for the future, recalls Hutchinson.

It didnt take long for the Mountains to see that Baxter was visibly better.

Within about a month, we started to really see him jumping up on counters for treats, said Jeff Mountain. You know, when we went out to walk him, he is back to running.

Mountain said that wasnt the only change she noticed.

He had this almost it sounds almost funny to say he looked very white, she paused to think. It was almost like his eyes were brighter. He was just a brighter dog. He just looked like, there was a visible difference in him.

Dr. Mike has heard it all many times.

People say it looks like their dogs are younger because their eyes are brighter. They are happier. They are in less pain, and thats a great reward for stem cells, explains Dr. Mike.

One of prospective patients first questions is often how much will it cost? When Hutchinson started, each procedure ran about $3,200. Now it has come down to about $1,800.

It can be less than that. The Mountains have a pet insurance on Baxter, and the stem cell therapy was covered by their policy.

I thought it was cost effective too, reflected Jeff Mountain, compared to other things that weve spent money on for surgeries and treatments for the dogs.

Lets go back to Panzer, Sharon Germains beloved dog. He lived nearly four years after surgery, before dying about a year ago. In retrospect knowing what she knows now, would she spend the out-of-pocket money to do stem cell treatment again on her dog?

Absolutely. Absolutely. The best money spent. Without hesitation, says Germain.

The next question: would you do it again for another dog?

Germain didnt even flinch. Absolutely. I would do it again for me.

She knows all about that too. After seeing how well it worked for her dog, she had stem cells injected into her chronically painful knee. Like her dog, she says her pain was gone in a matter of days, and it hasnt come back.

Dr. Hutchinson stresses stem cells are not a cure-all. They cant be used for every ailment, and Hutchinson says that in every lecture he does on stem cells.

I think its incumbent upon all my colleagues to be ethical and pick the right cases, says Hutchinson.

Its not a panacea. Its for certain cases. Neurological dogs, dogs that are falling over, they have nerve damage. Yeah, there might be a stem cell compassionate use for that and that might be able to help that dog, but Im not going to pretend like thats the common case.

How long do they last?

On average, it doesnt last a lifetime and it lasts maybe a year, a year and a half.

Hutchinson stopped for a second, then continued, But thats huge in a dogs life. They have a short life expectancy. So, if we get a year to year-and-a-half of comfort and pain-free time, thats fantastic. Then we can come back and re-treat them, and expect the similar response when we re-treat them.

Baxters mom Nicole Mountain agrees wholeheartedly that his quality of life is much better than it was before stem cells.

He does not get pain medication. He does not get anti-inflammatories, she claims.

He doesnt take anything thats keeping him comfortable. So for us to have something natural that will last ten, eleven months and then we do again, were thrilled with that.

Dr. Mike harvested enough cells from the original procedure on Baxter that they froze enough for multiple follow-up treatments. Because of that foresight, all they have to do is inject the thawed stem cells into Baxter. Those tune-ups cost about $200 per treatment.

Hutchinson cant say enough about what he has learned since his first stem cell surgery in 2008.

I want to do this every day in my practice because Ive been a vet for a long time, 30 plus years, and when you see the kind of results that were seeing, you know it cant be denied that any veterinarian would want to do what Im doing.

First dual stem cell therapy jointly developed by City University of Hong Kong brings new hope for cardiac repair – QS WOW News

February 11th, 2020 6:41 pm

A research team featuring an expert from City University of Hong Kong (CityU) has developed a novel dual approach for the first time for concurrently rejuvenating both the cardiac muscle and vasculature of the heart by utilising two types of stem cells. The results give hope for a new treatment for repairing myocardial infarction (MI) heart.

Dr Ban Ki-won, Assistant Professor of the Department of Biomedical Sciences and his research team, including researchers from Konkuk University, The Catholic University of Korea, Pohang University of Science and Technology and T&R Biofab in South Korea, have conducted the first study of two distinct stem cell effects for cardiac repair. The two major types of stem cells employed are human bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) and cardiomyocytes derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSC-CMs). The research findings have been published in Nature Communications in a paper titled Dual stem cell therapy synergistically improves cardiac function and vascular regeneration following myocardial infarction.

Both cardiac muscles and vasculatures are severely damaged following MI, and so the therapeutic strategies should focus on comprehensive repair of both at the same time. But the current strategies only focus on either one, Dr Ban said.

Dr Ban said that, with limited therapeutic options for severe MI and advanced heart failure, a heart transplant was the last resort. However, such an operation is very risky, costly and subject to limited supply of suitable donors. Therefore, stem cell-based therapy has emerged as a promising therapeutic option.

In the study, the hiPSC-CMs were injected directly into the border zone of the rats heart, while the hMSCs-loaded patch was implanted on top of the infarct area, like a bandage. The results showed that this dual approach led to a significant improvement of cardiac function and an enhancement of vessel formation on a MI heart.

We believe this novel dual approach can potentially provide translational and clinical benefit to the field of cardiac regeneration. Based on the same principle, the protocol may also be utilised for repairing other organs including the brain, liver and pancreas in which multiple types of stem cells co-exist, Dr Ban added.

The research team is working on follow-up studies in larger animal models such as pigs. The patent application for this research result has been submitted.

Protecting growth-restricted babies from brain injury with stem cell therapy – Mirage News

February 11th, 2020 6:41 pm

Hudson Institute scientists have demonstrated for the first time that umbilical cord stem cells can protect preterm, growth-restricted babies from brain injury.

Up to five-eight percent of pregnancies in Australia are affected by fetal growth restriction (FGR)-a condition which leads to poor growth of an unborn baby.

The mechanical ventilation that these babies need for the first few days of life can have detrimental effects on the developing brain. Many of them are born early (also referred to as preterm or premature), which only exacerbates the risk of brain injury further.

This brain damage often causes long-term developmental problems, and can lead to conditions such as cerebral palsy, behavioural disorders, cognitive deficits and motor developmental delays.

There is currently no treatment which can be used as an early intervention to prevent brain damage of babies with FGR. However, a growing body of evidence suggests that stem cell therapies could be the answer to this problem.

Dr Atul Malhotra and Associate Professor Suzie Miller led a study published in Stem Cell Research and Therapy which investigated the effect of umbilical cord blood stem cells (UCBCs) in a preclinical model of FGR.

Dr Malhotra is a consultant neonatologist at Monash Newborn, Monash Childrens Hospital; a senior lecturer in the Department of Paediatrics, Monash University; and a research fellow at Hudson Institute. Associate Professor Miller is a Deputy Centre Head at Hudson Institute and a senior scientist at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Monash University.

The team demonstrated, for the first time, that UCBCs can alleviate the brain damage caused by FGR and being born preterm-a ground-breaking discovery with significant implications for treatment.

Treatment with UCBCs led to a decrease in neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, cerebrovascular resistance (obstruction to blood flow), and greater integrity of the neurovascular unit in the brain.

The team believe that UCBCs stabilise the neurovascular unit-comprising of several different cell structures that control blood flow to the brain-possibly by reducing the inflammation surrounding them.

These UCBCs therefore act by strengthening the gate keepers of the brain, which in turn mitigates the effects of brain injury caused by an early and growth restricted birth.

We propose that the results of this study lay the foundation for a novel therapeutic option, using cord blood stem cells as an early intervention therapy for these vulnerable babies, commented Dr Malhotra.

Cell therapy is now ready for translation to clinical trials and this study provides further evidence of its potential benefit in preterm infants.

The teams next step is therefore a clinical trial of cord blood therapy in preterm babies at Monash Childrens Hospital, testing feasibility and safety of the treatment.

FGR is a condition where an unborn baby, or fetus, is smaller than expected

It can begin at any time during pregnancy, and puts babies at risk of loss in brain development, which can cause the child long-term problems in later life such as cerebral palsy, autism, learning and other behavioural challenges

Factors in the mother such as high blood pressure, diabetes, cigarette smoking and alcohol or drug use can increase the risk of FGR

The risk can also be increased by the placenta not attaching well, or blood flow through the umbilical cord being limited

Arthritis treatment: A controversial treatment promoted by a certain royal could help – Express

February 11th, 2020 6:41 pm

Arthritis is an umbrella term for a number of conditions that cause swelling and tenderness of one or more of the joints. Osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis are the two most common types of arthritis. There's no cure for arthritis, but there are many treatments that can help slow it down and maintain quality of life, including this unusual one.

Osteoarthritis mainly affects the hands, spine, knees and hips, whereas rheumatoid arthritis usually affects the hands, feet and wrists.

Experts are researching ways to use stem cells therapy to help treat arthritis in the knee and other joints.

Many doctors already use stem cell therapy to treat arthritis, but it is not considered standard practice, with some even calling the treatment controversial.

There is a lot of debate around stem cell treatment and it is helpful for potential patients to understand what stem cells are and the issues surrounding their use in arthritis therapy.

How the treatment could help is by reducing inflammation in the body.

In arthritis, the immune system mistakenly attacks the tissue that lines the joints, which causes pain, inflammation, swelling and stiffness.

By reducing inflammation, stem cell therapy increases the presence of healthy cells in the body.

DONT MISS

And it would seem that stem cell therapy has sparked some interest from the royal family.

Princess Michael of Kent, the wife of the Queens cousin Prince Michael, recently appeared in a slick promotional video for a clinic in the Bahamas that offers similar joint therapy.

Look at that, the Princess declares proudly in the five-minute film, holding her right arm high above her head after stem-cell injections for a painful shoulder.

"Its amazing I think stem cells are the future, theres no doubt in my mind."

A stem cell is a type of cell not specialised to perform a specific role.

Instead, it has the unique ability to develop into one of many different types of cell. Stem cell therapy uses stem cells to replace dead and diseased cells within the body.

The human body contains over 200 different types of cell. Usually, each type has certain characteristics that allow it to preform a specific role.

Cells with similar roles group together to form tissues, which then organise to form the bodys organs.

Scientists source the stem cells from body tissue, either from an embryo or an adult human and isolate them in the laboratory.

After manipulating the cells to develop into specific types, they then inject the cells into the recipients blood or tissue.

Researchers are still investigating ways of using stem cells to control inflammation and regenerate damaged tissues.

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are types of stem cell that can develop into cartilage and bone. Synovial MSC therapy involves injecting these cells directly int the tissues surrounding the affected joints.

Some research shows that MSCs are also able to suppress the immune system and reduce the bodys inflammatory response.

This makes MSC therapy a promising treatment option for autoimmune conditions such as arthritis.

But for all the positive evidence supporting the treatment, it remains hugely controversial.

Most specialists say there is little robust evidence to show it works and it has not been approved by the UK medicines regulator, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence. Leading health experts most standard approaches to treating arthritis is advising patients to lose weight and get more exercise.

In the US, Google has banned all advertising for products that contain stem cells or another regenerative therapy which uses blood cells, known as platelet-rich plasma, or PRP, because regulators describe the treatments as "new and exploratory".

And in the UK, experts have rubbished claims that Lipogems can treat arthritis.

Professor Chinmay Gupte, consultant orthopaedic surgeon and senior lecturer in knee surgery at Imperial College London, warns: These are extremely expensive treatments, and largely unproven. The problem is when youre desperate, youll try anything.

Arthritis Treatment: One Royal Is Promoting A Certain Kind Of Treatment – International Business Times

February 11th, 2020 6:41 pm

KEY POINTS

Arthritis is one of the most painful diseases around. Patients would often be taking pain relievers just to combat pain. There are those who seek doctors and are given over-the-counter medications, and there are also those who go the natural means. One royal is promoting a certain kind of treatment, and while the said treatment may have been dubbed as a controversial one, health experts say that it might just help.

The Use of Stem Cells

Stem cell treatment may be the next big thing when it comes to treating arthritis. As per Express report, a lot of doctors have already started using stem cell therapy to treat the debilitating disease. Although it is not considered as a standard practice, with many calling the treatment as controversial, it would seem that more people are going this way. stem cell treatment arthritis Photo: darkostojanovic - Pixabay

This type of treatment reduces inflammation in the body. When inflammation is kept at bay, pain is likewise reduced, allowing patients to suffer less from the disease. This kind of therapy helps in increasing the number of healthy cells.

The Royal Princess

According to the report of Express, Princess Michael of Kent, the wife of Prince Michael, who is the Queens cousin, recently appeared in an ad. In the said promotional video, the Princess was showing her right arm, signifying that stem cells are the future.

She had stem cell injections for the painful shoulder. The video was for a clinic in the Bahamas that offers the arthritis stem cell treatment.

Stem Cell and Arthritis

Researchers are still looking for ways on how to use stem cells to regenerate tissues and to control inflammation. The mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are the types of stem cells that develop into cartilage and bone. This has shown great promise in treating arthritis.

Despite the positive responses that the treatment has, there are still those who doubt it and would consider it as controversial. As for those who have benefited from the treatment, maybe stem cells did wonders for them. It could be an avenue for those who are still looking for effective arthritis treatment.
