Glioblastoma (GBM) is a fast-growing type of central nervous system tumour that forms from glial (supportive) tissue of the brain and spinal cord, with cells that look very different from normal ones, said Dr Ata Ul Aleem Bhatti, ex-instructor neurosurgeon, Aga Khan University Medical College, Dar as Salaam, Tanzania, and consultant neurosurgeon at the South City Hospital, Karachi.

Addressing a public awareness seminar on World GBM Day 2022 in collaboration with the Neurospinal & Cancer Care Postgraduate Institute, he said: Like most brain tumors, GBM grow more rapidly than their benign counterparts and affect the brain in many different ways depending on the part of the brain they are located.

Dr Bhatti further explained: Unfortunately, like most cancers in other parts of the body, the exact cause of GBM is unknown. Glioblastoma itself is not the only form of brain cancer, though it is the most common and most aggressive type. Other malignant brain tumours include medulloblastomas, lymphomas and anaplastic astrocytomas, to mention a few.

Various risk factors linked to developing cancer in the brain include over exposure to radiation and some rare inherited conditions. In all of these cases, the exact connection or link remains a mystery, but we do see a pattern of occurrence.

Again, unfortunately, there are no symptoms that will immediately tell someone they are developing a malignant brain tumour, however, there are some common things to look out for, when a person develops a mass or growth in the brain, either benign or malignant. These include a bad headache, but not the type one gets after spending hours in Karachi traffic or a stressful day. This headache is usually worse in the morning and persistent over several weeks. It may be associated with a feeling of wanting to vomit (nausea) or actually vomiting, which tends to make the person feel better.

Unfortunately, according to Dr Bhatti, at the moment there is no cure for brain cancers. While there are many therapies that are being tried and a lot of experimental work going on, we are yet to find a cure.

Malignant brain tumours are usually treated with a combination of surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy.

Sometimes, newer options like hormone therapy, immune therapy and others are also used. Which option is offered depends on the type of cancer involved. Surgery remains a main part of any treatment regime for GBM, since it allows for accurate diagnosis and also reduces the amount of tumour the body has to fight against.

In some cases, an attempt is made to remove as much of the tumour as possible to allow the radiotherapy and chemotherapy be more effective.

Dr Adeel Ahmed Memon, consultant clinical & radiation oncologist and assistant professor at the Karachi Institute of Radiotherapy & Nuclear Medicine (KIRAN), gave a radiation oncologist perspective for GBM.

Radiosurgery is a treatment method that uses specialized radiation delivery systems to focus radiation at the site of the tumor, while minimizing the radiation dose to the surrounding brain. Radiosurgery may be used in selective cases for tumor recurrence, often using additional information derived from MRS or PET scans, he said.

Studies have shown that radiation therapy provides most patients with improved outcomes and longer survival rates when given the combination of surgery, radiation and chemotherapy compared with surgery alone. Radiation also may be used as the sole treatment when a glioblastoma tumor is in an area that is not appropriate for surgery.

Guest speaker Dr Reena Kumari, consultant medical oncologist & assistant professor at Dr Ziauddin University Hospital, also shared her views regarding the role of chemotherapy, targeted & immunotherapy and discussed why GBM was difficult to treat brain tumor.

When treating GBM, she explained, what makes treatment challenging is that you have tumor cells that are not active, meaning they are dormant. These cells are known as cancer stem cells and since they are not active they do not die by radiation and chemotherapy.

Unlike other cancers such as breast or lung, brain tumors are extremely genetically heterogeneous means there is a high degree of variation within the same tumor cells that makes each individual glioblastoma molecularly distinct. This can be challenging when predicting prognosis and treatment, if it is in an area which is difficult access, or too close to major blood vessels or other important centers of the brain, it can make surgery tough, tendency of the tumor to come back aggressively is also a great challenge.

A promising targeted treatment is the anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) monoclonal antibody bevacizumab. It has been approved by FDA for several different types of cancer, including. Angiogenesis is a key survival feature of many cancers as tumors rely on nutrients from the vasculature to proliferate

A clinical trial has found that selinexor, the first of a new class of anti-cancer drugs called selective inhibitors of nuclear export (SINE) , is able to shrink tumors in almost a third of patients with recurrent glioblastoma,

Dr Kumari urged people to be careful, saying: Negligence in treatment of diseases like GBM can be fatal. She further said that timely treatment of brain tumor was very important as chances of relapsing increases with the grade of tumor.

Dr Sadia Afsar, in-Charge, Neurosurgery Department, Abbasi Shaheed Hospital , highlighted the problems faced by patients with GBM and other brain tumors as this is ignored by community.

Government needs to realise that these conditions are quite common and provide more facilities for early diagnosis and treatment of GBM & other types of brain tumors like MRI, CT-Scan & PET-CT Scanner must be readily available across the country to enhance diagnosis.

The scarcity of Radiotherapy modalities in the country has already been highlighted by her and said that a huge time is wasted in long queue, additionally. The teaching hospitals need to also be equipped to perform proper neurosurgery department and OT, as this is the first step in any treatment programme for brain tumors, including GMBs.

Blobs of human brain cells cultivated in the lab, known as brain organoids or mini-brains, are transforming our understanding of neural development and disease. Now, researchers are working to make them more like the real thing

By Clare Wilson

Neil Webb

A DOZEN tiny, creamy balls are suspended in a dish of clear, pink liquid. Seen with the naked eye, they are amorphous blobs. But under a powerful microscope, and with some clever staining, their internal complexity is revealed: intricate whorls and layers of red, blue and green.

These are human brain cells, complete with branching outgrowths that have connected with one other, sparking electrical impulses. This is the stuff that thoughts are made of. And yet, these collections of cells were made in a laboratory in this case, in the lab of Madeline Lancaster at the University of Cambridge.

The structures, known as brain organoids or sometimes mini-brains, hold immense promise for helping us understand the brain. They have already produced fresh insights into how this most mysterious organ functions, how it differs in people with autism and how it goes awry in conditions such as dementia and motor neurone disease. They have even been made to grow primitive eyes.

To truly fulfill the potential of mini-brains, however, neuroscientists want to make them bigger and more complex. Some are attempting to grow them with blood vessels. Others are fusing two organoids, each mimicking a different part of the brain. Should they succeed, their lab-grown brains could model development and disease in the real thing in greater detail than ever before, paving the way to new insights and treatments.

But as researchers seek to make mini-brains genuinely worthy of the name, they move ever closer to a crucial question: at what point will their creations approach sentience?

The key to developing organoids was the discovery of stem cells,

Mesenchymal stem cell isolation and expansion

Bone marrow-derived MSCs were isolated from young (6 weeks) and old (1824 months) C57 black male mice using established techniques42,43 under a protocol approved by the Johns Hopkins University Animal Care and Use Committee. Briefly, immediately following euthanasia, whole bone marrow was flushed out from the bilateral tibias and femurs. After washing by centrifugation at 400g for 10min, cells were plated at 5 106 viable cells per ml. The culture was kept in humidified 5% CO2 incubator at 37C for 72h, when non-adherent cells were removed by changing the media.

All MSC preparations were evaluated using flow cytometry with PE or FITC-conjugated antibodies against murine Sca-1 (1:200; BioLegend 122507), CD31 (1:200; Fisher Scientific BDB554473), CD34 (1:100; eBioscience 14-0341-82), CD44 (1:100; BioLegend 103007), CD45 (1:100; BioLegend 103105), and IgG (1:100; BioLegend 400607) performed on BD LSRII (Becton Dickinson) using DIVA software. At least 10000 events were collected. FlowJo software was used to analyze and create the histograms.

Assessment for osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation was performed using established techniques43. Briefly, to induce osteogenic differentiation, old and young MSCs were seeded into 6-well plates at 1.3 104 cells/well. After 24h the media was replaced with osteogenic differentiation medium containing Iscoves medium supplemented with 100nM dexamethasone, 10mM beta-glycerophosphate, 50 M ascorbic acid, and 1% antibiotic/antimycotic. Cells were maintained in induction media with media changes every 2 days. After 14 days cells fixed in 10% formalin for 15min and calcium deposition was assessed using von Kossa staining. Calcium deposition was then quantified using a colorimetric calcium assay (Calcium CPC Liquicolour Kit StanBio, Boerne, TX) according to the manufacturers instructions. To induce adipogenic differentiation, old and young MSCs were seeded in 6-well plates at 2 105 cells/well. When confluent the media was replaced with adipogenic induction medium containing DMEM-HG, 10% FBS, 5% rabbit serum, 1uM dexamethasone, 10g/mL insulin, 200 M indomethacin, 500 M isobutylmethylxanthine (IBMX), and antibiotic/antimycotic for 3 days followed by exposure to followed by exposure to adipogenic maintenance medium (DMEM-HG, 10% FBS, insulin 10g/ml and P/S) for 3 days. After 3 cycles of induction and maintenance exposure cells were rinsed with PBS and fixed in 10% formalin for 10min. The cells were then stained with Oil Red O to assess for lipid droplets. After imaging Oil Red O extraction was performed using 100% isopropanol. Extract samples were transferred to a 96-well plate and absorbance readings were taken at 490nm to quantify extracted Oil Red O.

Confirmed MSCs were expanded in culture in media prepared by combining 490ml Medium 200 PRF (Gibco Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA), a standard basal medium intended for culture of large vessel human endothelial cells, with 10ml Low Serum Growth Supplement (LSGS; Gibco Invitrogen). The final preparation contained 2% fetal bovine serum (FBS), 3ng/ml basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), 10ng/ml human epidermal growth factor, 10g/ml heparin, and 1g/ml hydrocortisone. Cells were incubated under standard conditions (5% CO2 and 37C). Expanded MSCs at low passage numbers (P2-P5) were used for the experiments. In the event frozen cells were used, they were thawed and grown for one passage prior to use in the experiments.

To prevent cell-cell interaction and assess only paracrine-mediated effects (i.e. those resulting from release of soluble factors), angiogenesis experiments were performed using bioreactor tubes (BT) constructed with CellMax semi-permeable polysulfone membrane tubing (Spectrum Labs, Rancho Dominguez, CA). These allowed the free diffusion of soluble proteins and other molecules released by the cells up to a 500kDa molecular weight cut-off, but not of the cells themselves. To load BTs, MSCs were trypsinized and suspended in Medium 200 PRF without LSGS supplementation (i.e. media devoid of stimulatory growth factors). MSCs were counted using a Scepter automated cell counter (Millipore, Billerica, MA), which had been previously standardized for accuracy. The desired number of MSCs was spun down and resuspended to a total volume of 100 ul that was injected into the BTs using a 0.5mL syringe. To compare paracrine-mediated angiogenesis by old and young MSCs, BTs were loaded with either 105 old or 105 young MSCs. Once cell injection was complete, the tubes were heat-sealed at both ends and the MSC-loaded tubes, fully submerged in media, were grown at standard culture conditions (37C, 5% CO2) for 7 days (Fig. 3a).

ELISA assays were performed to measure paracrine factor (PF) production by the MSCs contained within the BTs grown in culture. Tubes loaded with 2 105 MSCs were submerged in 5mL of alpha-MEM basal medium (Stemcell Technologies, Tukwila, WA) supplemented with 20% FBS (Gibco Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA) in a 6-well plate. At day 7, conditioned media was collected from each well, spun down for 1min to pellet any debris, and then flash frozen at 80C. Conditioned media samples were assessed for the concentrations of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), stromal derived factor-1 (SDF1) and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF1) by ELISA (Quantikine, R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN) according to the manufacturers instructions.

BTs were removed at day 7 and placed in separate wells of a 6-well plate containing human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs)44. Briefly, 105 HUVECs (Gibco Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA) suspended in Medium 200PRF were plated per well in Geltrex (Gibco Invitrogen) coated 6-well plates. Negative control wells received a bioreactor loaded with un-supplemented Medium 200PRF only (i.e. no cells). Positive control wells were plated with 105 HUVECs suspended in 1mL of Medium 200PRF supplemented with LSGS, which is known to induce HUVEC tubule formation. After 18h at standard culture conditions (37C, 5% CO2), the wells were imaged to allow quantitative analysis of the resultant HUVEC tubule network. Images were taken in the center of each well and in all four quadrants at pre-determined locations (5 pictures total), at 100x magnification. The total length of the tubule networks captured in the images of each well was measured using ImageJ software. To allow for comparisons between experiments, the total length of the tubule network in each well was normalized to the average length of the tubule network in the negative control wells, and reported as a normalized ratio.

To assess the effect of young MSC-generated PFs on PF-mediated angiogenesis by old MSCs, BTs were prepared as described above containing either 105 young or 105 old MSCs. Two BTs were placed together in a 6-well plate in 5mL MSC media and incubated for 7 days at standard culture conditions (Fig. 3b) using a BT containing old MSCs paired with either a separate BT with other old MSCs (control) or a separate BT with young MSCs. After 7 days the tubes were removed, washed with un-supplemented Medium 200 PRF, and then used separately in the HUVEC assay as described above. After the HUVEC assay was complete (18h) the BTs were placed in separate wells of 6-well plates and grown in culture for 7 additional days with collection of conditioned media for PF release.

Replicates of 105 old MSCs were cultured separately, or in co-culture with young MSCs, for 7 days using a 0.4m Transwell system in 6-well plates (Corning), which allow transfer of soluble paracrine factors released by the cells, but not of the cells themselves. Following RNA purification, library preparation, amplification, and Illumina sequencing, the open source Galaxy pipeline was used for data processing and analyses. After alignment of raw sequencing reads to the UCSC mm10 genome using HISAT2, transcript assembly, alignment quantification, count normalization, and differential expression analyses were conducted with StringTie, featureCounts, DESeq2, and Genesis. Quantitative PCR (KAPA SYBR FAST One-Step qRT-PCR, Wilmington, MA) was used to validate 24 transcripts identified by RNA sequencing. Target genes were selected based on their presence in significantly regulated pathways and quantified relative to 18S ribosomal RNA using the 2Ct method45.

To validate the results of the RNA sequencing and RT-PCR results, a functional autophagy assay was performed to assess relative autophagy between old, young, and rejuvenated old MSCs. Old, young and rejuvenated cells were cultured (or co-cultured, in the case of rejuvenated cells) for 7 days in 6-well plates (105 cells per well). On Day 8, cells were trypsinzed, counted and 104 cells were transferred to each well of a 96-well black plate with clear bottom and incubated for 6h. The Autophagy Assay Kit (Sigma Aldrich, St. Louis, MO) measures autophagy using a proprietary fluorescent autophagosome marker in a microplate reader (ex=360; em=520nm). Three separate experiments were performed in triplicate each for each condition. To account for possible differences introduced by counting cells, results for each cell type were normalized based on absorbance (450nm) of a Cell Counting Kit-8 (Dojindo Molecular Technologies, Inc. Rockville, MD).

Data are reported as mean standard error of the mean (SEM) unless otherwise indicated. Comparisons between groups for the HUVEC experiments were performed using the permutation test. For the PF ELISA data, groups were compared using the MannWhitney test. The autophagy assay and rt-PCR results were assessed using two-tailed t tests. For these experiments a p-value < 0.05 was deemed significant. In the RNA sequencing differential expression analysis, a false discovery rate (FDR) of <0.05 was considered significant.

In short, stem cells initiate the production of new tissue cells, which can then replace their diseased counterparts.

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are adult stem cells found in many areas of the body such as bone marrow. The unique thing about these cells is their compatibility with a range of tissues such as bone, cartilage, muscle, or fat. MSCs respond to injury or disease by migrating to these damaged areas, where they restore tissue function by replacing the damaged cells.

It has recently been shown that the success of MSCs relies on their ability to release cell signals their mechanism to initiate tissue regeneration. These signals are packaged into extracellular vehicles (EVs) which are essentially bubbles of information. These are released by MSCs and taken up by the injured or diseased tissue cells to kickstart their inbuilt process of regeneration.

Through funding from the Royal Society of Edinburgh, research has started into the development of artificial EVs as a viable alternative to cell therapy. These EVs will contain the key molecules released by stem cells when they are responding to injury cues in the body.

The power to induce tissue regeneration would provide a significant new tool in biomedical treatment, such as incorporating EVs into synthetic hydrogels within a wound dressing to encourage and accelerate healing.

Within the lab setting, we have been able to manipulate stem cell cultures to produce EVs with different signal make-ups, and accurately identify their properties.

Controlling and identifying the different make-ups contained in EV signals which in turn induce different cell responses is crucial if we want to operationalise their use in medicine.

We now aim to synthesise artificial vesicles, or bubbles, for different clinical problems, such as, for example, bubbles with potent wound-healing properties that would help our ability to use new artificial stem cell therapy.

The research is underway and it is showing promise that we may be able to harness the regenerative power of stem cells in the near future.

An artificial EV-based approach also has several advantages over stem cell-based therapies, such as having increased potency and greater consistency in treatment, and at a lower cost to carry out.

Both inside and on the surface of the body, we would have the ability to induce a process vital to medical treatment we work with every day and, in turn, open a whole new avenue of possibilities in biomedical science.

Bone Marrow Stem Cells Comments Off on He’s the match: Arconic employee gets call 20 years after signing up to be bone marrow donor – Maryville Daily Times | July 25th, 2022

SINGAPORE - A Singaporean doctorwho is one of the top cell therapy experts in the worldhas been appointed to a World Health Organisation (WHO) expert panel.

Dr Mickey Koh is so sought-after in his field that for the past 15 years, he has been holding two jobs in two different countries.

The 56-year-old shuttles between England and Singapore, spending six weeks at a time in London, where he oversees the haematology department and looks after bone marrow transplant patients at St George's University Hospital, before returning to Singapore for a week and a half to head the cell therapy programme at the Health Sciences Authority.

Cell therapy is a growing field of medicine that uses living cells as treatment for a variety of diseases and conditions. This is an increasingly important therapeutic area and both his employers have agreed to his unusual schedule.

Over in London, Dr Koh is head of the Haematology Department at St George's Hospital and Medical School. In Singapore, he is the programme and medical director of the cell and gene therapy facility at the Health Sciences Authority.

In May, Dr Koh was selected to be on the WHO Expert Advisory Panel on Biological Standardisation.

Individuals on the panel have to be invited by WHO to apply, and are well recognised in their respective scientific fields. Eminent names on the panel include the current president of the Paul-Ehrlich-Institut in Germany, which is the country's federal agency, medical regulatory body and research institution for vaccines and biomedicine.

The WHO panel, which is made up of about 25 members, provides detailed recommendations and guidelines for the manufacturing, licensing and standardisation of biological products, which include blood, monoclonal antibodies, vaccines and, increasingly, cell-based therapeutics.

The recommendations and advice are passed on to the executive board of the World Health Assembly, which is the decision-making body of WHO.

Dr Koh's role had to be endorsed by the British government and was a direct appointment by the director-general of WHO.

His appointment as a panel expert will last for a term of four years.

Speaking to The Straits Times, Dr Koh shared his thoughts about the importance of regulation: "We are well aware that there is a very lucrative worldwide market peddling unproven stem cell treatments, where side effects are often unknown, and such unregulated practice can result in serious harm.

"This is already happening. People are claiming that you can use stem cells to treat things like ageing, and even very serious conditions like strokes, without any evidence."

With many medications now taking the form of biologics - a drug product derived from biological sources such as cells - the next wave of treatment would be the utilisation of these cells for the treatment of a wide range of diseases, Dr Koh said.

Tecartus (Brexucabtagene Autoleucel) First and Only CAR T in Europe to Receive Positive CHMP Opinion to Treat Adults 26+ with r/r ALL

If Approved, it will Address a Significant Unmet Need for a Patient Population with Limited Treatment Options

SANTA MONICA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Kite, a Gilead Company (Nasdaq: GILD), today announces that the European Medicines Agency (EMA) Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) has issued a positive opinion for Tecartus (brexucabtagene autoleucel) for the treatment of adult patients 26 years of age and above with relapsed or refractory (r/r) B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). If approved, Tecartus will be the first and only Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy for this population of patients who have limited treatment options. Half of adults with ALL will relapse, and median overall survival (OS) for this group is only approximately eight months with current standard-of-care treatments.

Kites goal is clear: to bring the hope of survival to more patients with cancer around the world through cell therapy, said Christi Shaw, CEO, Kite. Todays CHMP positive opinion in adult ALL brings us a step closer to delivering on the promise that cell therapies have to transform the way cancer is treated.

Following this positive opinion, the European Commission will now review the CHMP opinion; the final decision on the Marketing Authorization is expected in the coming months.

Adults with relapsed or refractory ALL often undergo multiple treatments including chemotherapy, targeted therapy and stem cell transplant, creating a significant burden on a patients quality of life, said Max S. Topp, MD, professor and head of Hematology, University Hospital of Wuerzburg, Germany. If approved, patients in Europe will have a meaningful advancement in treatment. Tecartus has demonstrated durable responses, suggesting the potential for long-term remission and a new approach to care.

Results from the ZUMA-3 international multicenter, single-arm, open-label, registrational Phase 1/2 study of adult patients (18 years old) with relapsed or refractory ALL, demonstrated that 71% of the evaluable patients (n=55) achieved complete remission (CR) or CR with incomplete hematological recovery (CRi) with a median follow-up of 26.8 months. In an extended data set of all patients dosed with the pivotal dose (n=78) the median overall survival for all patients was more than two years (25.4 months) and almost four years (47 months) for responders (patients who achieved CR or CRi). Among efficacy-evaluable patients, median duration of remission (DOR) was 18.6 months. Among the patients treated with Tecartus at the target dose (n=100), Grade 3 or higher cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and neurologic events occurred in 25% and 32% of patients, respectively, and were generally well-managed.

About ZUMA-3

ZUMA-3 is an ongoing international multicenter (US, Canada, EU), single arm, open label, registrational Phase 1/2 study of Tecartus in adult patients (18 years old) with ALL whose disease is refractory to or has relapsed following standard systemic therapy or hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. The primary endpoint is the rate of overall complete remission or complete remission with incomplete hematological recovery by central assessment. Duration of remission and relapse-free survival, overall survival, minimal residual disease (MRD) negativity rate, and allo-SCT rate were assessed as secondary endpoints.

About Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

ALL is an aggressive type of blood cancer that develops when abnormal white blood cells accumulate in the bone marrow until there isnt any room left for blood cells to form. In some cases, these abnormal cells invade healthy organs and can also involve the lymph nodes, spleen, liver, central nervous system and other organs. The most common form is B cell precursor ALL. Globally, approximately 64,000 people are diagnosed with ALL each year, including around 3,300 people in Europe.

About Tecartus

Please see full FDA Prescribing Information, including BOXED WARNING and Medication Guide.

Tecartus is a CD19-directed genetically modified autologous T cell immunotherapy indicated for the treatment of:

This indication is approved under accelerated approval based on overall response rate and durability of response. Continued approval for this indication may be contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit in a confirmatory trial.

U.S. IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

BOXED WARNING: CYTOKINE RELEASE SYNDROME and NEUROLOGIC TOXICITIES

Cytokine Release Syndrome (CRS), including life-threatening reactions, occurred following treatment with Tecartus. In ZUMA-2, CRS occurred in 91% (75/82) of patients receiving Tecartus, including Grade 3 CRS in 18% of patients. Among the patients who died after receiving Tecartus, one had a fatal CRS event. The median time to onset of CRS was three days (range: 1 to 13 days) and the median duration of CRS was ten days (range: 1 to 50 days). Among patients with CRS, the key manifestations (>10%) were similar in MCL and ALL and included fever (93%), hypotension (62%), tachycardia (59%), chills (32%), hypoxia (31%), headache (21%), fatigue (20%), and nausea (13%). Serious events associated with CRS included hypotension, fever, hypoxia, tachycardia, and dyspnea.

Ensure that a minimum of two doses of tocilizumab are available for each patient prior to infusion of Tecartus. Following infusion, monitor patients for signs and symptoms of CRS daily for at least seven days for patients with MCL and at least 14 days for patients with ALL at the certified healthcare facility, and for four weeks thereafter. Counsel patients to seek immediate medical attention should signs or symptoms of CRS occur at any time. At the first sign of CRS, institute treatment with supportive care, tocilizumab, or tocilizumab and corticosteroids as indicated.

Neurologic Events, including those that were fatal or life-threatening, occurred following treatment with Tecartus. Neurologic events occurred in 81% (66/82) of patients with MCL, including Grade 3 in 37% of patients. The median time to onset for neurologic events was six days (range: 1 to 32 days) with a median duration of 21 days (range: 2 to 454 days) in patients with MCL. Neurologic events occurred in 87% (68/78) of patients with ALL, including Grade 3 in 35% of patients. The median time to onset for neurologic events was seven days (range: 1 to 51 days) with a median duration of 15 days (range: 1 to 397 days) in patients with ALL. For patients with MCL, 54 (66%) patients experienced CRS before the onset of neurological events. Five (6%) patients did not experience CRS with neurologic events and eight patients (10%) developed neurological events after the resolution of CRS. Neurologic events resolved for 119 out of 134 (89%) patients treated with Tecartus. Nine patients (three patients with MCL and six patients with ALL) had ongoing neurologic events at the time of death. For patients with ALL, neurologic events occurred before, during, and after CRS in 4 (5%), 57 (73%), and 8 (10%) of patients; respectively. Three patients (4%) had neurologic events without CRS. The onset of neurologic events can be concurrent with CRS, following resolution of CRS or in the absence of CRS.

The most common neurologic events (>10%) were similar in MCL and ALL and included encephalopathy (57%), headache (37%), tremor (34%), confusional state (26%), aphasia (23%), delirium (17%), dizziness (15%), anxiety (14%), and agitation (12%). Serious events including encephalopathy, aphasia, confusional state, and seizures occurred after treatment with Tecartus.

Monitor patients daily for at least seven days for patients with MCL and at least 14 days for patients with ALL at the certified healthcare facility and for four weeks following infusion for signs and symptoms of neurologic toxicities and treat promptly.

REMS Program: Because of the risk of CRS and neurologic toxicities, Tecartus is available only through a restricted program under a Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) called the Yescarta and Tecartus REMS Program which requires that:

Hypersensitivity Reactions: Serious hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, may occur due to dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) or residual gentamicin in Tecartus.

Severe Infections: Severe or life-threatening infections occurred in patients after Tecartus infusion. Infections (all grades) occurred in 56% (46/82) of patients with MCL and 44% (34/78) of patients with ALL. Grade 3 or higher infections, including bacterial, viral, and fungal infections, occurred in 30% of patients with ALL and MCL. Tecartus should not be administered to patients with clinically significant active systemic infections. Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of infection before and after Tecartus infusion and treat appropriately. Administer prophylactic antimicrobials according to local guidelines.

Febrile neutropenia was observed in 6% of patients with MCL and 35% of patients with ALL after Tecartus infusion and may be concurrent with CRS. The febrile neutropenia in 27 (35%) of patients with ALL includes events of febrile neutropenia (11 (14%)) plus the concurrent events of fever and neutropenia (16 (21%)). In the event of febrile neutropenia, evaluate for infection and manage with broad spectrum antibiotics, fluids, and other supportive care as medically indicated.

In immunosuppressed patients, life-threatening and fatal opportunistic infections have been reported. The possibility of rare infectious etiologies (e.g., fungal and viral infections such as HHV-6 and progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy) should be considered in patients with neurologic events and appropriate diagnostic evaluations should be performed.

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) reactivation, in some cases resulting in fulminant hepatitis, hepatic failure, and death, can occur in patients treated with drugs directed against B cells. Perform screening for HBV, HCV, and HIV in accordance with clinical guidelines before collection of cells for manufacturing.

Prolonged Cytopenias: Patients may exhibit cytopenias for several weeks following lymphodepleting chemotherapy and Tecartus infusion. In patients with MCL, Grade 3 or higher cytopenias not resolved by Day 30 following Tecartus infusion occurred in 55% (45/82) of patients and included thrombocytopenia (38%), neutropenia (37%), and anemia (17%). In patients with ALL who were responders to Tecartus treatment, Grade 3 or higher cytopenias not resolved by Day 30 following Tecartus infusion occurred in 20% (7/35) of the patients and included neutropenia (12%) and thrombocytopenia (12%); Grade 3 or higher cytopenias not resolved by Day 60 following Tecartus infusion occurred in 11% (4/35) of the patients and included neutropenia (9%) and thrombocytopenia (6%). Monitor blood counts after Tecartus infusion.

Hypogammaglobulinemia: B cell aplasia and hypogammaglobulinemia can occur in patients receiving treatment with Tecartus. Hypogammaglobulinemia was reported in 16% (13/82) of patients with MCL and 9% (7/78) of patients with ALL. Monitor immunoglobulin levels after treatment with Tecartus and manage using infection precautions, antibiotic prophylaxis, and immunoglobulin replacement.

The safety of immunization with live viral vaccines during or following Tecartus treatment has not been studied. Vaccination with live virus vaccines is not recommended for at least six weeks prior to the start of lymphodepleting chemotherapy, during Tecartus treatment, and until immune recovery following treatment with Tecartus.

Secondary Malignancies may develop. Monitor life-long for secondary malignancies. In the event that one occurs, contact Kite at 1-844-454-KITE (5483) to obtain instructions on patient samples to collect for testing.

Effects on Ability to Drive and Use Machines: Due to the potential for neurologic events, including altered mental status or seizures, patients are at risk for altered or decreased consciousness or coordination in the 8 weeks following Tecartus infusion. Advise patients to refrain from driving and engaging in hazardous activities, such as operating heavy or potentially dangerous machinery, during this period.

Adverse Reactions: The most common non-laboratory adverse reactions ( 20%) were fever, cytokine release syndrome, hypotension, encephalopathy, tachycardia, nausea, chills, headache, fatigue, febrile neutropenia, diarrhea, musculoskeletal pain, hypoxia, rash, edema, tremor, infection with pathogen unspecified, constipation, decreased appetite, and vomiting. The most common serious adverse reactions ( 2%) were cytokine release syndrome, febrile neutropenia, hypotension, encephalopathy, fever, infection with pathogen unspecified, hypoxia, tachycardia, bacterial infections, respiratory failure, seizure, diarrhea, dyspnea, fungal infections, viral infections, coagulopathy, delirium, fatigue, hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis, musculoskeletal pain, edema, and paraparesis.

Bone Marrow Stem Cells Comments Off on Stem Cell Therapy Market Size, Scope, Growth Opportunities, Trends by Manufacturers And Forecast to 2029 This Is Ardee – This Is Ardee | July 25th, 2022

Josh, Harper and Meagan in June 2022

Two years ago, Meagan stood in a hospital room at Seattle Childrens cradling her 1-year-old daughter, Harper, against her chest. Her fianc, Josh, huddled close to them and kissed the thinning hair on top of their babys head.

A feeding tube was routed through Harpers nose and her eyes were brimming with tears. Exhausted, she snuggled into her moms arms as a photographer took their picture.

Meagan and Josh feared those would be the last photos taken of their baby girl.

Six months before, Harper became seriously ill. After multiple visits to their pediatrician in Yakima, Meagan took her to an emergency room where blood tests revealed Harper had leukemia.

It was shocking, Meagan says. Thirty minutes later we were on an emergency flight to Seattle Childrens.

The family didnt return home for nearly two years.

The type of leukemia Harper had acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is typically harder to treat and has lower survival rates when it occurs in infants who are less than a year old.

Harpers case was exceptionally challenging. She didnt respond to standard chemotherapy, even after providers added a medication designed to sensitize her leukemia to the treatment.

Her care team, which included Seattle Childrens High-Risk Leukemia Program, believed a stem cell transplant would give Harper the best chance of surviving, but they had to eliminate the majority of her leukemia cells first.

Drs. Kasey Leger and Brittany Lee, Harpers primary oncologists, started her on a novel immunotherapy medication, called blinatumomab, which effectively destroyed many of her ALL cells.

Unfortunately, two weeks later, the team discovered some of Harpers ALL cells had morphed into a different blood cancer acute myeloid leukemia (AML). This rare occurrence, called lineage switch, occurs in less than 5% of infant ALL cases.

It was a roller coaster, Josh says. She didnt do anything they expected her to do. It felt like every day we had to come up with a new plan.

Drs. Leger and Lee gave Harper a different kind of chemotherapy that destroyed the new AML cells. Still, some of her ALL cells remained, so the team gave Harper blinatumomab again which finally suppressed her cancer enough for her to have a stem cell transplant just before her first birthday.

Harper and her mom, Meagan, celebrating Harpers first birthday shortly after her stem cell transplant

The team had done everything they could to get Harper healthy enough for a stem cell transplant, hopeful it would be the treatment that finally cured her. Tragically, Harpers leukemia was back less than a month later.

When leukemia comes back so soon after transplant, patients have very few treatment options, if any, says Dr. Corinne Summers, Harpers stem cell transplant specialist. Many patients will not survive long term.

Harpers parents were terrified they were going to lose her.

Her bone marrow was packed with leukemia, Josh remembers. You could tell the life was slipping out of her and she just looked like it was going to be the end.

After Harpers stem cell transplant failed, the family met with end-of-life specialists and scheduled a special photo session to create memories that they would carry forward

They struggled to decide if they should continue treatment.

How do you know when enough is enough? Meagan says. When do you say, We cant do this to her anymore? Harper couldnt tell us how she was feeling, so it was all our decision.

Meagan and Josh worked closely with the care team to decide what to do next.

Those conversations were emotional for all of us, says Dr. Lee. Thankfully, we had a close, trusting relationship with their family and were able to give recommendations that reflected what they wanted for their daughter and what they felt was most important.

After much consideration, Meagan and Josh decided Harper was strong enough to continue treatment.

Drs. Leger and Lee filed a compassionate use request with the Food and Drug Administration to give Harper an investigational chemotherapy drug called venetoclax. Unfortunately, the treatment didnt work.

Collaborating with the family, the team decided to try giving Harper blinatumomab one more time. There was no evidence suggesting the medication would work so soon after a bone marrow transplant and with such a high burden of leukemia, but within a week it eliminated 98% of Harpers cancer cells.

Family is a critical piece of the team, Dr. Leger says. And Harper is fortunate to have amazing parents who were at her bedside 24/7 and had a beautiful way of advocating for her. They challenged us to leave no stone unturned and partnered with us throughout her treatment to keep figuring out a way forward.

With Harpers leukemia under control, the team searched for a way to wipe out any remaining cancer cells and keep her disease from coming back. Doctors in Childrens Cancer and Blood Disorders Center lead national research groups such as the Childrens Oncology Group, so they have access to trials around the world. However, Harpers care team found the best treatment for her was at Seattle Childrens Hospital, in partnership with Seattle Childrens Therapeutics.

Harpers T-cells were removed through a process called apheresis before they were reprogrammed to target her cancer cells and infused back into her blood

Harper was enrolled in one of Childrens T-cell immunotherapy clinical trials. The treatment involves re-programming a patients T cells (a type of white blood cell) to target and destroy their cancer cells.

After her T-cell therapy, Harper was finally in remission.

Meagan cried with relief when she found out. Harper would not be here right now if it wasnt for everybody at Seattle Childrens, she says. From day one, theyve been comforting and compassionate. They bend over backwards to keep families involved and helped us fight for our child.

To keep her in remission, Harper was given six antigen-presenting cell boosters, which kept her reprogrammed T cells circulating through her blood longer. She received the last booster earlier this year and is still in remission today.

Harper had a very unique disease in that her leukemia manifested as both ALL and AML, says Dr. Leger. Thankfully, we have team members with deep expertise in each of those diseases. Having internationally recognized chemotherapy, transplant and immunotherapy specialists on our team allowed us to be creative with her care when she needed to go beyond the standard pathways.

Today, Harper is a joyful, boisterous 3-year-old who loves experimenting with musical toys and splashing around in her bath or kiddie pool. One of her favorite things to do is grab Meagan by the hair and squish their faces together.

Because of the treatments Harper received at such a young age and the extended time she spent in the hospital, Harper is behind on some developmental milestones like speaking and walking. Still, Meagan and Josh say shes catching up.

Shes starting to bloom and take off and its so nice to see, Meagan says. At the same time, we cant get too comfortable. We know how relentless her disease is and that it could come back one day.

Harper plays in a pool, one of her favorite activities, in June 2022

Harpers family encourages community members to support cancer research at Childrens so that new treatments can be developed for Harper and other kids like her.

Without donors, Harper probably wouldnt be alive right now, Josh says. The treatments she had were developed in just the last few years. If people dont step up and donate, those programs arent there. Those drugs arent invented. Cancer treatment has come a really long way and thats because of donors stepping up to make that happen.

Abstract: Diabetes mellitus with hyperglycaemia is a major risk factor for malignant cardiac dysrhythmias. However, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear, especially during the embryonic developmental phase of the heart. This study investigated the effect of hyperglycaemia on the pulsatile activity of stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes. Mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) were differentiated into cardiac-like cells through embryoid body (EB) formation, in either baseline glucose or high glucose conditions. Action potentials (APs) were recorded using a voltage-sensitive fluorescent dye and gap junction activity was evaluated using scrape-loading lucifer yellow dye transfer assay. Molecular components were detected using immunocytochemistry and immunoblot analyses. High glucose decreased the spontaneous beating rate of EBs and shortened the duration of onset of quinidine-induced asystole. Furthermore, it altered AP amplitude, but not AP duration, and had no impact on the expression of the hyperpolarisation-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated isoform 4 (HCN4) channel nor on the EB beating rate response to ivabradine nor isoprenaline. High glucose also decreased both the intercellular spread of lucifer yellow within an EB and the expression of the cardiac gap junction protein connexin 43 as well as upregulated the expression of transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF1) and phosphorylated Smad3. High glucose suppressed the autorhythmicity and gap junction conduction of mESC-derived cardiomyocytes, via mechanisms probably involving TGF1/Smad3 signalling. The results allude to glucotoxicity related proarrhythmic effects, with potential clinical implications in foetal diabetic cardiac disease.

NASA and Cedars-Sinai Medical Center are launching stem cells into space. In the study, funded by NASA and being conducted by scientists at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, the stem cells have been sent into space and will orbit for just over a months time to determine whether they grow differently without G-force.

A remotely controlled container of cells, with reagents and equipment needed to remotely sustain the cells, arrived at the International Space Station over the weekend. Two queries are presented alongside the launch details: do cells age differently in low orbit and can the Earthly challenges of stem cell growth amplification be overcome in space?

The human body is comprised of a full library of cell types, cataloged by specialty and location such as the striated cardiac muscles or the branching neurons in the brain. Each of these cells began as a raw stem cell and has developed in a particular manner. The cells can multiply to become a plentiful stem cell line under the correct conditions, but laboratory settings that would generate the quantity needed for medicinal purposes pose challenges that require innovative thinking.

Despite being featured in many biologic candidates currently under research and development and in clinical trials, mass-producing stem cells for use in these therapeutics isnt feasible. To prevent conglomeration or losing the stem cells at the bottom of a reactor tank, the bioreactor must be stirred at a rate that causes probable cell death. The end result is very few stem cells suitable for therapeutic and research use. By launching stem cells into space, the Cedars-Sinai research team is hoping to overcome these production limitations.

With stem cells, the possibilities and applications are increasing each day. They can work as models for testing drug safety and efficacy, thus reducing the burden placed on animal model research, be used as regenerative cells for those that have suffered damage as a result of injury or disease and even as a basic tool to help researchers further understand the human body.

By pushing the boundaries like this, its knowledge and its science and its learning, Clive Svendsen, executive director at the Cedars-Sinai Regenerative Medicine Institute, commented. Svendsen has sent a part of himself along with the project, as the donor of the stem cells.

Various other studies are being conducted by research teams around the globe in an effort to better understand the potential of stem cells.

Just last week, researchers from the University of Malta announced the launch of a similar mission that will be conducted aboard a SpaceX craft. The Maleth II project is the second installment of the Maleth Program that is designed to evaluate how human skin tissue cell genetics react to low earth orbit. A remotely controlled biocube will orbit the Earth for 60 days while the single cells are analyzed for changes.

The student researchers at the university are being directly supported by Maltas national Research, Innovation, Development Trust and the study itself is in collaboration with the Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs, Singleron Biotechnologies

Human samples

Rapid harvesting of cadaveric pancreatic tissues was obtained with informed consent from next of kin, from heart-beating, brain-dead donors, with research approval from the Human Research Ethics Committee at St Vincents Hospital, Melbourne. Pancreas from individuals without and with diabetes, islet, acinar and ductal samples were obtained as part of the research consented tissues through the National Islet Transplantation Programme (at Westmead Hospital, Sydney and the St Vincents Institute, Melbourne, Australia), HREC Protocol number: 011/04. The donor characteristics of islet cell donor isolations are presented in Table 1.

Islets were purified by intraductal perfusion and digestion of the pancreases with collagenase AF-1.24 (SERVA/Nordmark, Germany) followed by purification using Ficoll density gradients.25 Purified islets, from low-density gradient fractions and acinar/ductal tissue, from high-density fractions, were cultured in Miami Media 1A (Mediatech/Corning 98021, USA) supplemented with 2.5% human serum albumin (Australian Red Cross, Melbourne, VIC, Australia), in a 37C, 5% CO2 incubator.

Total RNA from human ex vivo pancreatic cells was isolated using TRIzol (Invitrogen) and RNeasy Kit (QIAGEN) including a DNase treatment. First-strand cDNA synthesis was performed using a high-capacity cDNA Reverse Transcription Kit (Applied Biosystems) according to the manufacturers instructions. cDNA primers were designed using oligoperfect designer (Thermo Fisher Scientific), as shown in Table 2. Briefly, quantitative RT-PCR analyses were undertaken using the PrecisionFast 2 qPCR Master Mix (Primerdesign) and primers using Applied Biosystems 7500 Fast Real-Time PCR System. Each qPCR reaction contained: 6.5l qPCR Master Mix, 0.5l of forward and reverse primers, 3.5l H2O and 2l of previously synthesised cDNA, diluted 1/20. Expression levels of specific genes were tested and normalised to 18s ribosomal RNA housekeeping gene.

Modification of Histone H3 and histone-associated Ezh2 protein signals were quantified in human pancreatic ductal epithelial cells (AddexBio) by the LI-COR Odyssey assay. The cells were treated with 5 or 10M of GSK 126 (S7061, Selleckchem) for 48h. Histones and their associated proteins were examined using an acid extraction and immunoblotting as described previously.18 Protein concentrations were determined using Coomassie Reagent (Sigma) with BSA as a standard. Equal amounts (3g) of acid extract were separated by Nu-PAGE (Invitrogen), transferred to a PVDF membrane (Immobilon-FL; Millipore) and then probed with antibodies against H3K27me3 (07449, Millipore), H3K27ac (ab4729, Abcam), H3K9me3 (ab8898, Abcam), H3K9me2 (ab1220, Abcam), H3K4me3 (39159, Active Motif), Ezh2 (#4905, Cell Signaling Technology), and total histone H3 (#14269, Cell Signaling Technology). Protein blotting signals were quantified by an infra-red imaging system (Odyssey; LI-COR). Modification of Histone H3 and histone-associated Ezh2 signals were quantified using total histone H3 signal as a loading control.

Chromatin immunoprecipitation assays in human exocrine cells were performed previously described.26,27 Cells were fixed for 10min with 1% formaldehyde and quenched for 10min with glycine (0.125M) solution. Fixed cells were resuspended in sodium dodecyl (lauryl) sulfate (SDS) lysis buffer (1% SDS, 10mM EDTA, 50mM Tris-HCl pH 8.1) including a protease inhibitor cocktail (Roche Diagnostics GmBH, Mannheim, Germany) and homogenised followed by incubation on ice for 5min. Soluble samples were sonicated to 200600bp and chromatin was resuspended in ChIP Dilution Buffer (0.01% SDS, 1.1% Triton X-100, 1.2mM EDTA, 16.7mM Tris-HCl pH 8.0, and 167mM NaCl) and 20l of Dynabeads Protein A (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA) was added and pre-cleared. H3K27me3 antibody was used for immunoprecipitation of chromatin and incubated overnight at 4C as previously described.28 Immunoprecipitated DNA were collected by magnetic isolation, washed low salt followed by high salt buffers and eluted with 0.1M NaHCO3 with 1% SDS. Protein-DNA cross-links were reversed by adding Proteinase K (Sigma, St. Louis, MO, USA) and incubation at 62C for 2h. DNA was recovered using a Qiagen MinElute column (Qiagen Inc., Valencia, CA, USA). H3K27me3 content at the promoters of the INS, INS-IGF2, NGN3 and PDX1 genes were assessed by qPCR using primers designed from the integrative ENCODE resource.29 ChIP primers are shown in Table 3.

Insulin and glucagon localisation in human islets were assessed using paraffin sections (5m thickness) of human pancreas tissue fixed in 10% neutral-buffered formalin and stained with hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) or prepared for immunohistochemistry. Insulin and glucagon were detected using Guinea Pig anti-insulin (1/100, DAKO) or mouse anti-glucagon (1/50) mAbs (polyclonal Abs, Sigma-Aldrich).

Pharmacological inhibition of EZH2, human pancreatic exocrine cells were kept untreated or stimulated with 10M GSK-126 (S7061, Selleckchem) at a cell density of 1105 per well for 24h. After 24h of treatment, fresh Miami Media was added to the cells, which were treated again with 10 GSK-126 and cultured for a further 24h. All cell incubations were performed in Miami Media 1A (Mediatech/Corning 98-021, USA) supplemented with 2.5% human serum albumin (Australian Red Cross, Melbourne, VIC, Australia), in a cell culture incubator at 37C in an atmosphere of 5% CO2 for 48h using non-treated six-well culture plates (Corning).

In brief

In 2020, the European Commission began a review of the EUs rules on blood, tissues and cells (BTC) used for medical treatments and therapies. Now the Commission haspublisheda draft legislative proposal to amend the rules.

The proposal does not recommend a complete overhaul: the EU will not change its definitions of blood, tissue and cell products. Yet it does promise a significant update to the two Directives published in the early 2000s that continue to govern the use of BTC components in the EU. Most importantly, the proposed legislation would be packaged as a Regulation rather than a Directive, meaning it would have a direct effect in the Member States.

The legislation sets out quality and safety requirements for allactivitiesfrom donation to human application (unless the donations are used to manufacture medicinal products or medical devices, in which case the legislation only applies to donation, collection and testing).

In its press release, the European Commission states that every year, EU patients are treated with 25 million blood transfusions (during surgery, emergency, cancer or other care), a million cycles of medically assisted reproduction, over 35,000 transplants of stem cells (mainly for blood cancers) and hundred thousands of replacement tissues (e.g., for orthopedic, skin, cardiac or eye problems). These therapies are only available thanks to the willingness of fellow citizens to make altruistic donations.

In the EU, the collection, processing and supply of each individual unit is typically organized on a local small-scale by public services, (academic) hospitals and non-profit actors.

Afteralmost 20years in place, the legislationno longer addressesthe scientific and technicalstate of the art and needs to be updated to take into account developments that have taken place in the sector.

How is the Commission planning to change BTC legislation in the EU? Here are three key takeaways from the draft proposal.

Compensating Doctors

The tissue and cell directive currently in force explicitly permits the Member States to compensate donors of tissue and cell products for their trouble. The corresponding blood Directive, however, contains no such provision: in its absence, different countries have developed their own guidelines on blood donor compensation.

That disparity is addressed in the draft Regulation, which would allow the Member States to reimburse donors of all human-derived products for losses related to their participation in adonation through fixed-rate allowances. Improving access to plasma donation, advocates of compensation schemes hope, could help the EU to bolster its patchy stockpiles of the essential fluid.

Emergency Planning

The Covid-19 pandemic demonstrated the fragility of healthcare networks that rely heavily on external sources for their products. Supply chain disruptions are a particular threat to the availability of plasma-derived medicines in the bloc since much of the EUs plasma is imported from the USA.

With this in mind, the Commission wants the Member States to develop emergency plans to cope with supply shocks. Countries would be required to maintain lines of communication that could be used in emergencies, establish authorities responsible for distribution in critical situations, and detect risks to their continued access to substances of human origin.

Detecting Risks

As might be expected, the draft Regulation introduces measures to protect the health and privacy of donors and donees. Screening is mandated to prevent patients from receiving diseased blood or cancerous cells. Technical systems should be in place to preserve the anonymity of all parties to a BTC transfer.

The burden of safeguarding is particularly heavy where assisted reproduction is concerned. It would be up to the Member States, under the draft legislation, to detect and mitigate genetic risks posed by donated reproductive cells.

If approved, it is thought that the revisions will be endorsed by 2023, with implementation beginning in 2024.

EU: New Blood? Proposed Revisions to the EUs Blood, Tissues and Cells Rules - GlobalComplianceNews

Cardiac Stem Cells Comments Off on EU: New Blood? Proposed Revisions to the EUs Blood, Tissues and Cells Rules – GlobalComplianceNews | July 25th, 2022

Shortly after I was told I would need a heart transplant, in August 2014, a cardiac nurse visited my house. She scanned the room and noticed my exercise equipment. "You're not going to use that are you?", she asked me. "Yes", I replied, "why?"

My heart was operating at 13 percent and I was firmly told I couldn't be doing that sort of thing in my condition. The nurse said she would send round a physiotherapist called Nikki Simpson to tell me what I could and couldn't do while doctors tried to figure out what was going on with my heart.

"Nikki Simpson?" I asked. It couldn't be. The woman I had once known with the same name was training to be a hairdresser, plus she'd married and moved away.

We had first met as teenagers at a club in the north of England in 1984. I had wavy shoulder length hair and she always had some sort of red leather gear on. Usually, I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer when it comes to flirting, but I could tell she liked me straight away.

We dated for about six months. I didn't drink much so we would go on long drives and spend time with mutual friends, but for some reason the relationship just fizzled out. Nothing bad happened, we just drifted apart.

I lived a bachelor life for a while. Eventually I got married and had my son, Robert. Nikki got married and had a baby girl. We only lived a village away from each other but I never saw her once.

When my son was eight my first marriage broke down and I cared for Robert. It was the hardest thing to do, but we had the best time of our lives. I did date when my son was younger, but nobody seemed to understand that Robert came first.

For years I'd been extremely fit, I was a plasterer by trade and had always had physical jobs. But in February, 2014, when I was doing some work putting up billboards in Leeds, I couldn't breathe and kept falling to my knees.

I visited the emergency room with my sister. I was told I had pneumonia and given a course of antibiotics. I took them for two weeks but still couldn't breathe properly, so I was told it was likely I had a respiratory condition and to visit my doctor.

After months of being referred to and from the hospital, my doctor told me he thought I had heart failure. He organized an MRI scan which showed my heart was globally dilated and operating at a fraction of its normal function. They said it was likely down to a virus, but had no idea which one.

I went back the next week and the doctor sat there, clicking away on his keyboard. He glanced across at me and said: "We need to discuss a heart transplant." There I was, this strapping Yorkshireman who doesn't drink, doesn't smoke, doesn't do anything untoward, who has a dodgy heart. I stopped listening to anything he said. I went back to my doctor who told me to stop whatever I was doing, go home and watch TV on the sofa.

I started going for various scans and a cardiac nurse began to visit me and curate my drugs, which is when she mentioned about a physio helping me.

One day in August 2014, this nurse she knocked on the door and said "The physio is on her way, but I need to ask your permission for her to treat you because you have a history." I said it was fine.

When Nikki knocked on my door, I swung it open and shouted "f*** off!" I grabbed her, sat her on the kitchen table and gave her a big kiss on the cheek.

It just sort of took off from there. We started seeing each other when she came round to treat me. I would go to the gym with her to do exercises and she would call round for a cup of tea in the evenings.

Robert was doing his first year at university studying aeronautical engineering and I was concerned because he was driving a fair distance home every day just so I wasn't at home by myself. Eventually, Nikki said she'd move in with me so Robert could go and live the dream.

It was ace having her around. Even at this point, when I thought I was dying and there was no cure for me, it was like this angel had walked through the door and made my life better.

The relationship with Nikki was great, but I was going to the hospital a lot. The tablets used to steady you and make you comfortable I just couldn't tolerate. I got to the stage where I spent so much time in the hospital the porters recognised me.

It looked like I was going to die. I had a mate who had his suit washed three times for my funeral. Whenever I saw him he would say: "Are you still here?"

In October 2017, we were watching TV when an interview with the Heart Cells Foundation came on. They'd created a stem-cell procedure which took bone marrow from a patient's pelvis then injected it straight into the heart. I wanted it.

The next day I phoned them and they said to come down for some tests. I qualified for the procedure and in November 2018 went down to St Bartholomew's Hospital in London and had the treatment. It changed my life overnight.

This horrific thing I was thinking about; someone dying and me taking their heart, wasn't going to happen anymore. That was three and a half years ago. I had thought I was going to be dead in months without a transplant.

From day one of leaving the hospital, I haven't had any problems at all. I go down for a yearly check up and the consultant wants me to have the treatment again. They've never done it twice but think they might get some good results.

Nikki has been ace throughout all of this. We're looking to get married next year. I didn't want to get married before the treatment. I didn't want to be pushed down the aisle in a wheelchair or go for a meal after and end up in an ambulance. But, now, I'm getting fit, strong and strapping, so we want to go with it.

Looking back, it seems so strange that Nikki and I parted ways. I don't know if I believe in fate, but since I was first told I'd need a heart transplant we've lost my dad, my brother, two aunties and Nikki's dad. All these people who have gone, I was supposed to go before them. My perspective on life has always been to live it today, because you don't know what's going to come tomorrow.

Barry Newman, 55, from Wakefield, was a plasterer before undergoing pioneering treatment with the Heart Cells Foundation, an independent charity which has run a small unit at St Bartholomew's Hospital since 2016. Earlier this year he carried the baton at the Commonwealth Games relay.

Dental Membrane and Bone Graft Substitutes Market to Exceed Value of US$ 1,337 Mn by 2031 - PR Newswire UK

Cardiac Stem Cells Comments Off on Dental Membrane and Bone Graft Substitutes Market to Exceed Value of US$ 1,337 Mn by 2031 – PR Newswire UK | July 25th, 2022

After a meeting like the 2022 ASCO Annual Meeting, one cannot help but be reinvigorated to continue advancing cancer care and feel optimistic about the future of oncology, says John M. Burke, MD.

After seeing all the amazing presentations at the American Society of Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting, I cannot help but reflect on how far our field has come over the course of my 20-year career.

In 2000, I moved from San Francisco, California, to New York, New York, to begin my fellowship at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. My first rotation was on the inpatient myeloma, lymphoma, and autologous stem cell transplant service, where I encountered patients with myeloma and painful bone lesions causing fractures and spinal cord compressions. We treated patients with myeloma with chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplant. Thalidomide (Thalomid) was starting to make a splash by showing strong efficacy in myeloma trials, and bortezomib (Velcade) emerged during those years, as well.

Nevertheless, the state of the art was exemplified by an article in the New England Journal of Medicine in 2003, describing the results of an Intergroupe Francophone du Mylome (IFM) trial. Myeloma patients were treated with vincristine, doxorubicin, and dexamethasone induction followed by single or double autologous stem cell transplant. The median event-free survival was 2 years and the median overall survival was 4 years, which seem grim by modern standards.

Fast forward about 20 years to the Plenary Session of the 2022 ASCO Annual Meeting, at which we saw the results of modern therapy in the DETERMINATION trial (NCT01208662). Patients treated with the modern standard regimen of lenalidomide (Revlimid), bortezomib, and dexamethasone followed by autologous stem cell transplant achieved a median progression-free survival of 5.5 years. In the IFM trial 20 years ago, approximately 50% of patients were alive at 4 years. In DETERMINATION, 85% of patients were alive at 4 years. Weve come a long way.

DETERMINATION represents only an infinitesimal fraction of the degree of innovation demonstrated at the ASCO meeting: an antibody-drug conjugate besting conventional chemotherapy in patients with low expression of the HER2 target in breast cancer; a KRAS inhibitor demonstrating marked activity in KRAS-mutated nonsmall cell lung cancer; a bispecific antibody redirecting T cells to suppress diffuse large B-cell lymphoma; an antibody-drug conjugate added to chemotherapy, extending survival in Hodgkin lymphoma compared with the decades-old standard-of-care regimen; and a checkpoint inhibitor rendering mismatch repairdeficient rectal cancer completely helpless.

After a meeting like this, one cannot help but be reinvigorated to continue advancing cancer care and feel optimistic about the future of oncology. We have a lot of progress to celebrateand a lot more to accomplish.
