Only two decades ago, stem cell therapy was highly regulated in the United States and other countries but it was well underway in Hadassah Hospitals labs in Jerusalem. Never would we have imagined that the US expansion of one of the key clinical trials conducted in our labs in Israel would be later funded by Californias Stem Cell Institute.

In 2004, California had the foresight to advance this critical area of research, and Hadassah advocates played a major role in the passing of an unprecedented statewide ballot initiative that authorized state funding for stem cell research. This marked the passage of Proposition 71 in 2004.

Fast forward to today. Hadassahs commitment to stem cell research led the Californians for Stem Cell, Research, Treatments and Cures Initiative effort in 2020 to reach out for help with their grassroots effort to qualify the latest stem cell funding initiative for the November ballot. It qualified with your help, and I hope that in a few short weeks well be celebrating the passage of Proposition 14, which will provide $5.5 billion to help accelerate development of treatments and cures for life-threatening diseases and conditions.

The power of stem cells is mind-blowing: We are able to use these cells to replace damaged or diseased tissue, and in this way, treatments or cures for diseases like age-related macular degeneration, ALS, MS, Parkinsons, Alzheimers and diabetes could be a reality in the foreseeable future.

I come to this subject from a place of personal sorrow.

I watched my father-in-law, Irv, suffer for 12 and a half years with ALS, a man I loved as if he were my own father. He fought and fought, he made every minute of his battle meaningful, soaking as much life as he could, until he couldnt. Irv is the reason why I became involved in Hadassah because of their cutting-edge medical research and he is the reason that Im writing to you now.

Today, Hadassah is doing incredible things in stem cell research, and the stunning results of their clinical trials have riveted the worldwide medical community.

Of course, the research most personal to me is the ALS research. Hadassah researchers conducted the worlds first clinical trial using the patients own bone marrow stem cells to treat ALS.Pikuach nefesh, the preservation of life, is the most important obligation in Judaism, and the one that drives Hadassah. With the potential of stem research, we have the ability to save millions of lives throughout the world.

And, with the promise of stem cells, we can accelerate the development of treatments and cures for life-threatening diseases and conditions that affect someone in nearly half of all California families.

I believe that stem cell research is going to allow our children to look at the major diseases that plague our modern world the way we now view polio.That potential will not reveal itself on its own, nor did it with polio. It took decades of research and funding for a polio vaccine to be fully developed, tested and made available widely.

There are no medical miracles. Medical advancement happens because of research. Research takes will, knowledge, chutzpah and, of course, money. The path to get a therapy approved by the Food and Drug Administration can take 12 to 15 years, requires thousands of patients for clinical trials and costs billions of dollars. from life-saving vaccines, to pioneering cancer treatments, to the sequencing of the human genome.w When research stalls for lack of funding, opportunities are missed. Promising avenues go unexplored.

The passage of Proposition 14 would help to overcome those hurdles and create a streamlined process that delivers much-needed treatments to patients who have few options. How amazing would it be to be part of making medical history.I am so proud to be a member of Hadassah, which is not only leading the way in stem cell research but also doing its research in service to humanity. Together, we can make medical discoveries happen and continue to set the pace for the worldwide medical community.

I wish that my father-in-law was here to give you his final thumbs up.

Stem Cell Therapy Market To Exceed Revenues Worth US$ By The End Of 2020 2027 - Eurowire

Bone Marrow Stem Cells Comments Off on Stem Cell Therapy Market To Exceed Revenues Worth US$ By The End Of 2020 2027 – Eurowire | November 3rd, 2020

The potential of gene therapies as cures for some hard-to-treat genetic diseases can be very attractive. But one such product is now suspected of causing a serious safety problem.

Friday, Orchard Therapeutics said its Strimvelis treatment, approved by European authorities in 2016 to treatthe rare inherited condition ADA-SCID, has been linked to a patients leukemia.

Preliminary findings suggest this diagnosis may be attributable to an insertional event related to treatment with Strimvelis, the company said. Its now investigating whether theres indeed a causal relationship.

How technologies are transforming high volume injections - essential enablers for patient outcomes

Therapies requiring high volume injections are becoming more common across a broad range of therapeutic areas. This webinar will explore why adherence, safety and quality of life are important for patients, and how these key enablers contribute towards positive outcomes. We will also discuss existing challenges, such as drug development, regulatory, patient accessibility, and how device technologies can further improve patient outcomes. Register Today!

Since its 2016 EU approvalwhen it was owned by original developer GlaxoSmithKlineonly 16 patients have been treated with Stimvelis. The patient who developed leukemia had apparently been treated under a GSK compassionate use program in 2016.

No more patients will get the therapy before the investigation is complete, Orchard said. The drug was never approved in the U.S.

ADA-SCIDis a condition marked by a mutation in the gene making the adenosine deaminase (ADA) enzyme, which is essential for maintaining normal white blood cells. ADA-SCID patients, with a dysfunctional immune system, have less than two years to live without effective intervention.

RELATED:Orchard licenses gene therapy tech from GSK

Strimvelis, originally developed by GSK and bought by Orchard in 2018, offers an option for patients who cant find a matched stem cell donor. It works by editing the patients own hematopoietic stem cells with the functional ADA gene. The cells arethen transferred back into the patient's bone marrow to mature and produce the normal ADA protein.

The therapy uses a gammaretrovirus as the vector to carry the gene. Problem is, retrovirus can incorporate their own genetic information into the human genome, causing unintended changes that can give rise to cancer. It is a known risk factor of gammaretroviral vector-based gene therapy and has been described as one of the important potential risks for Strimvelis in its EU approval.

Besides Strimvelis, Orchard is also developing OTL-101, which uses a lentivirus to insert a functional copy of the ADA gene into a patients cells. The drug is currently undergoing a registrational trial and has won breakthrough and orphan drug designations from the FDA.

All the gene therapy candidates in Orchards pipeline use lentiviral vectors that have been specifically designed to avoid insertional oncogenesis after administration, Orchard said, adding that no dangerous gene insertion has been reported around lentiviral vector-based stem cell gene therapy in any indication.

Orchard Therapeutics' gene therapy Strimvelis linked to a leukemia case - FiercePharma

Bone Marrow Stem Cells Comments Off on Orchard Therapeutics’ gene therapy Strimvelis linked to a leukemia case – FiercePharma | November 3rd, 2020

TEL AVIV, Israel, Oct. 30, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- BioLineRx Ltd. (NASDAQ: BLRX) (TASE: BLRX), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on oncology, today announced positive results from a planned interim analysis of the ongoing GENESIS Phase 3 trial of motixafortide for stem cell mobilization (SCM) in multiple myeloma patients.

At a meeting of the study's independent Data Monitoring Committee (DMC), a planned interim analysis of the study's primary endpoint was conducted independently by the DMC. Based on the statistically significant evidence favoring treatment with motixafortide, the DMC issued a recommendation to the Company that patient enrollment may be ceased immediately, without the need to recruit all 177 patients originally planned for the study.

In accordance with the DMC's recommendation, study enrollment is now complete at 122 patients. Full results for the study, including secondary and exploratory efficacy endpoints, as well as extended safety data, will be announced after the last patient enrolled reaches 100 days of follow-up post-transplantation, which is expected to occur in the first half of 2021.

"The compelling results of this planned interim analysis are a very significant milestone for our Company, as our SCM program is the Company's most efficient path to registration for motixafortide," stated Philip Serlin, Chief Executive Officer of BioLineRx. "Stem cell mobilization represents a significant unmet medical need in multiple myeloma, as between 50% and 70% of patients are poor mobilizers. We eagerly await the final results of the study, expected in the first half of next year, which we hope will support our goal of changing the treatment paradigm in autologous stem-cell mobilization, thus positioning motixafortide in combination with G-CSF as the new standard of care in this indication."

The GENESIS trial was initiated in December 2017. GENESIS is a randomized, placebo-controlled, multicenter study, evaluating the safety, tolerability and efficacy of motixafortide and G-CSF, compared to placebo and G-CSF, for the mobilization of HSCs for autologous transplantation in multiple myeloma patients. The primary objective of the study is to demonstrate that only one dose of motixafortide on top of G-CSF is superior to G-CSF alone in the ability to mobilize 6x106 CD34+ cells in up to two apheresis sessions. Secondary objectives include time to engraftment of neutrophils and platelets and durability of engraftment, as well as other efficacy and safety parameters.

R&D expenses include the costs of clinical trials and preclinical work on the companys portfolio of investigational gene therapies, as well as costs related to regulatory, manufacturing, license fees and milestone payments under the companys agreements with third parties, and personnel costs to support these activities. The decline in R&D expenses is primarily attributable to the companys U.K. research and development tax credits, which are recorded as an offset to R&D expense. During the third quarter of 2020, the company recorded tax credits of $10.1 million as compared to $2.7 million in the same period in 2019. Further, the company has realized savings associated with an updated strategy and corporate restructuring previously announced in May 2020, including the consolidation of its R&D sites.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $13.0 million for the third quarter of 2020 compared to $14.2 million in the same period in 2019. The decline was primarily due to lower administrative and corporate expenses as compared to the prior period, primarily resulting from the May 2020 corporate restructuring.

Net loss was $20.3 million for the third quarter of 2020 compared to $36.7 million in the same period in 2019. The lower net loss compared to the same period in 2019 is a result of the higher U.K. research and development tax credits, the savings associated with an updated strategic plan and corporate restructuring, and $5.5 million in other income primarily attributable to unrealized foreign currency gains in the quarter. The company had 97.7 million ordinary shares outstanding as of September 30, 2020.

Cash, cash equivalents and investments as of September 30, 2020, were $201.3 million compared to $325.0 million as of December 31, 2019. The decrease was primarily driven by cash used to fund operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. In the third quarter of 2020, the company received approximately $13.6 million of cash from R&D tax credits related to 2018 as a result of qualifying activities under the tax code in the U.K. The company expects that its existing cash, cash equivalents and investments will fund its anticipated operating and capital expenditure requirements into 2022. This excludes the $50 million expected to be available under the companys credit facility and any non-dilutive capital received from potential future partnerships or priority review vouchers.

Our European commercial team is in place and have executed the activities necessary to launch Libmeldy (if approved) on a country-by-country basis in the first half of 2021, said Frank Thomas, president and chief operating officer. In addition, we will be leveraging cross border reimbursement channels for the treatment of patients from other parts of the world based on our past experience with Strimvelis.

Orchard Therapeutics Reviews Recent Portfolio Progress and Reports Third Quarter 2020 Financial Results - GlobeNewswire

Bone Marrow Stem Cells Comments Off on Orchard Therapeutics Reviews Recent Portfolio Progress and Reports Third Quarter 2020 Financial Results – GlobeNewswire | November 3rd, 2020

U.S. biotechnology company races to get its COVID-19 therapeutic approved for access, which has previously shownpositive results inseverely ill patients

Vancouver, WACytoDyn Inc. (CytoDyn) a late-stage biotechnology companydeveloping leronlimab (PRO 140), a CCR5 antagonist with the potential for multiple therapeutic indications, announcedit is currently accepting only 155 more candidates across the country for its Phase 2b/3 registrational trial in patients with severe-to-critical COVID-19.

CytoDyn is currently enrolling COVID-19 patients in its Phase 2b/3 clinical trial in at least 13 hospitals in nine states (California, Georgia, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon and Texas). Please visit the Companys website atwww.cytodyn.com. The sites currently enrolling patients are listed on the home page under Clinical Trial Enrollment, then click on COVID-19 Severe or Critical in the drop-down screen. Please visit the website frequently, as the list of hospitals is updated on a regular basis.

CytoDyn has already enrolled 235 patients in its trial, and the Data Safety Monitoring Committee (DSMC) recently recommended CytoDyn continue its study without modification to achieve its primary endpoint, based on the results the DSMC observed so far.

The DSMC also added that it will look at the unblinded data again, once an additional 58 patients are enrolled.

We are very encouraged the DSMC recommended we continue our trial without modification, said Nader Pourhassan, Ph.D., President and CEO of CytoDyn.We believe this result, combined with the promising data already demonstrated with emergency INDs in over 60 severe and critical COVID-19 patients, is an indicator of positive data.

Its our hope this means our study is not only proving to be safe, but effective. If it wasnt, the DSMC would have stopped our trial or requested modifications.But instead, the DSMC recommended we continue our study without modification, and indicated it would look at the unblinded data once we are 75% enrolled.This, to us, is a very strong signal of positive data, added Pourhassan.

The recovery of a young woman in California provides some hopeful evidence of the effectiveness of leronlimab, Pourhassan said. She had contracted COVID-19 and was in the hospital on a ventilator. Within 24 hours after receiving a single injection of leronlimab, the amount of oxygen she needed started to drop, and 2 days later, she was able to be removed from her ventilator and later, sent home. She believes our drug saved her life.

We are optimistic and look forward to the completion of our study, or possible early evaluation to warrant an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) from the FDA, Pourhassan concluded.

About Coronavirus Disease 2019

CytoDyn completed its Phase 2 clinical trial (CD10) for COVID-19, a double-blinded, randomized clinical trial for mild-to-moderate patients in the U.S. which produced statistically significant results for NEWS2. Enrollment continues in its Phase 2b/3 randomized clinical trial for the severe-to-critically ill COVID-19 population in several hospitals throughout the U.S.; an interim analysis on the first 195 patients was conducted mid-October.

CytoDyn is currently enrolling patients in its Phase 2b/3 COVID-19 trial for patients with severe-to-critical indications in at least 13 hospitals and clinics across the U.S., which are identified in this press release and on the Companys website under the Clinical Trial Enrollment section of the homepage.

About Leronlimab (PRO 140)

The FDA has granted a Fast Track designation to CytoDyn for two potential indications of leronlimab for critical illnesses. The first indication is a combination therapy with HAART for HIV-infected patients and the second is for metastatic triple-negative breast cancer. Leronlimab is an investigational humanized IgG4 mAb that blocks CCR5, a cellular receptor that is important in HIV infection, tumor metastases, and other diseases, including NASH.Leronlimab has completed nine clinical trials in over 800 people and met its primary endpoints in a pivotal Phase 3 trial (leronlimab in combination with standard antiretroviral therapies in HIV-infected treatment-experienced patients).

In the setting of HIV/AIDS, leronlimab is a viral-entry inhibitor; it masks CCR5, thus protecting healthy T cells from viral infection by blocking the predominant HIV (R5) subtype from entering those cells. Leronlimab has been the subject of nine clinical trials, each of which demonstrated that leronlimab could significantly reduce or control HIV viral load in humans. The leronlimab antibody appears to be a powerful antiviral agent leading to potentially fewer side effects and less frequent dosing requirements compared with daily drug therapies currently in use.

In the setting of cancer, research has shown that CCR5 may play a role in tumor invasion, metastases, and tumor microenvironment control. Increased CCR5 expression is an indicator of disease status in several cancers. Published studies have shown that blocking CCR5 can reduce tumor metastases in laboratory and animal models of aggressive breast and prostate cancer. Leronlimab reduced human breast cancer metastasis by more than 98% in a murine xenograft model. CytoDyn is, therefore, conducting a Phase 1b/2 human clinical trial in metastatic triple-negative breast cancer and was granted Fast Track designation in May 2019.

The CCR5 receptor appears to play a central role in modulating immune cell trafficking to sites of inflammation. It may be crucial in the development of acute graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) and other inflammatory conditions. Clinical studies by others further support the concept that blocking CCR5 using a chemical inhibitor can reduce the clinical impact of acute GvHD without significantly affecting the engraftment of transplanted bone marrow stem cells.CytoDyn is currently conducting a Phase 2 clinical study with leronlimab to support further the concept that the CCR5 receptor on engrafted cells is critical for the development of acute GvHD, blocking the CCR5 receptor from recognizing specific immune signaling molecules is a viable approach to mitigating acute GvHD. The FDA has granted orphan drug designation to leronlimab for the prevention of GvHD.

About CytoDyn

CytoDyn is a late-stage biotechnology company developing innovative treatments for multiple therapeutic indications based on leronlimab, a novel humanized monoclonal antibody targeting the CCR5 receptor. CCR5 appears to play a critical role in the ability of HIV to enter and infect healthy T-cells. The CCR5 receptor also appears to be implicated in tumor metastasis and immune-mediated illnesses, such as GvHD and NASH.

CytoDyn has successfully completed a Phase 3 pivotal trial with leronlimab in combination with standard antiretroviral therapies in HIV-infected treatment-experienced patients. The FDA met telephonically with Company key personnel and its clinical research organization and provided written responses to the Companys questions concerning its recent Biologics License Application (BLA) for this HIV combination therapy in order to expedite the resubmission of its BLA filing for this indication.

CytoDyn has completed a Phase 3 investigative trial with leronlimab as a once-weekly monotherapy for HIV-infected patients. CytoDyn plans to initiate a registration-directed study of leronlimab monotherapy indication. If successful, it could support a label extension. Clinical results to date from multiple trials have shown that leronlimab can significantly reduce viral burden in people infected with HIV. No drug-related serious site injection reactions reported in about 800 patients treated with leronlimab and no drug-related SAEs reported in patients treated with 700 mg dose of leronlimab. Moreover, a Phase 2b clinical trial demonstrated that leronlimab monotherapy can prevent viral escape in HIV-infected patients; some patients on leronlimab monotherapy have remained virally suppressed for more than six years.

CytoDyn is also conducting a Phase 2 trial to evaluate leronlimab for the prevention of GvHD and a Phase 1b/2 clinical trial with leronlimab in metastatic triple-negative breast cancer. More information is atwww.cytodyn.com.

Proposition 14 would authorize the sale of $5.5 billion in general obligation bonds for the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine, known as CIRM, for stem cell studies and trials.

Here is a rundown of the ballot measure:

In 2004, voters approved a bond measure to pay for stem cell research.

Now, with the money from that bond running out, supporters of the states stem cell agency are asking taxpayers for a new infusion of cash.

With interest, the bond could cost the state $260 million per year, or $7.8 billion over the next 30 years, according to the nonpartisan Legislative Analysts Office.

Proponents of Proposition 14 say the measure will help find new treatments and cures for chronic diseases and conditions, including cancers, spinal cord injuries, Alzheimers, Parkinsons and heart disease. They say the previous bond advanced research and treatments for more than 75 diseases, including two cancer treatments for fatal blood disorders that were approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

Without new funding to keep the program going, supporters of Proposition 14 say, groundbreaking medical discoveries and lifesaving research will be slowed or stopped.

Opponents say that the state shouldnt take on new debt while facing a pandemic-induced deficit and that medical advances attributed to the previous stem cell bond have been overstated. In addition, opponents say CIRM has been hampered by conflicts of interest and too little oversight, neither of which are remedied by the ballot measure.

The campaign to pass the 2004 ballot measure told voters that the bond would save millions of lives and cut healthcare costs by billions. Critics say thats not been the case to date, although supporters of this years measure note that they never intended those results within 16 years. While there is not much organized opposition, some newspaper editorial boards, including those at the Los Angeles Times and San Francisco Chronicle, have opposed it.

With Prop. 14, California voters will be asked for more borrowing to keep stem cell research going

Spinal Cord Stem Cells Comments Off on California Prop. 14: What to know about the stem cell measure – Los Angeles Times | November 3rd, 2020

Professor Paul Glare at the Pain Management Research Institute.

Opioids are good for acute pain. With chronic pain they only work short to medium term, he says. But after about six months, you become tolerant and have to take bigger doses. Then theres the growing risk of accidental overdose, even accidental death.

For many people though, opioids seem like the only way to numb the pain that constantly attacks them. But do they in fact, numb the pain?

Most people who come off the long term use of opioids realise that the drugs werent doing that much, says Glare. Theyd already stopped working, so the pain without them is often no worse. In fact, the drugs were just messing with their heads. Still its a huge psychological step to let the drugs go.

Gently spoken and with a great sense of compassion for the people he works to help, Glare started his career in palliative care which took him into the area of cancer pain, then pain more generally. Because its difficult to tell people battling chronic pain that there is no satisfactory pharmaceutical answer at this time, the PMRI has a large and active pain education unit.

The Unit offers a Masters of Medicine Pain Management that is also conferred as a Masters of Science for non-medical graduates. It also runs cognitive behavioural therapy classes teaching strategies for rising above the pain.

The classes are challenging, says Glare. But many people who learn the self-management techniques can reduce or even stop their opioid use. Its about them not being afraid of their pain anymore.

Its the nature of chronic pain that the injury its warning you about, sometimes very loudly, isnt actually there. This can be seen in a persons posture as they sit and walk in a way that protects that non-injury. By gently confronting the pain, the person can eventually reclaim their normal posture and walk more confidently. Through that, they feel stronger within themselves and more in control of their pain.

The PMRI is now looking at digital support resources for people dealing with pain, Were developing an SMS based text messaging service and a more sophisticated chat-bot tool, to help people get over the hump of opioid tapering, says Glare. Its new in the pain world.

How pain changes your brain - News - The University of Sydney

Spinal Cord Stem Cells Comments Off on How pain changes your brain – News – The University of Sydney | November 3rd, 2020

Central nervous system comprises brain and spinal cord, and is responsible for integration of sensory information. Brain is the largest and one of the most complex organs in the human body. It is made up of 100 billion nerves that communicate with 100 trillion synapses. It is responsible for the thought and movement produced by the body. Spinal cord is connected to a section of brain known as brain stem and runs through the spinal canal. The brain processes and interprets sensory information sent from the spinal cord. Brain and spinal cord serve as the primary processing centers for the entire nervous system, and control the working of the body. Neuroprosthetics improves or replaces the function of the central nervous system. Neuroprosthetics, also known as neural prosthetics, are devices implanted in the body that stimulate the function of an organ or organ system that has failed due to disease or injury. It is a brain-computer interface device used to detect and translate neural activity into command sequences for prostheses. Its primary aim is to restore functionality in patients suffering from loss of motor control such as spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and stroke. The major types of neuroprosthetics include sensory implants, motor prosthetics, and cognitive prosthetics. Motor prosthetics support the autonomous system and assist in the regulation or stimulation of affected motor functions.

For more insights into the Market, request a sample of this report @https://www.persistencemarketresearch.com/samples/4160

Similarly, cognitive prosthetics restore the function of brain tissue loss in conditions such as paralysis, Parkinsons disease, traumatic brain injury, and speech deficit. Sensory implants pass information into the bodys sensory areas such as sight or hearing, and it is further classified as auditory (cochlear implant), visual, and spinal cord stimulator. Some key functions of neuroprosthetics include providing hearing, seeing, feeling abilities, pain relief, and restoring damaged brain cells. Cochlear implant is among the most popular neuroprosthetics. In addition, auditory brain stem implant is also a neuroprosthetic meant to improve hearing damage.

For Information On The Research Methodology request here @https://www.persistencemarketresearch.com/methodology/4160

North America dominates the global market for neuroprosthetics due to the rising incidence of neurological diseases and growth in geriatric population in the region. Asia is expected to display a high growth rate in the next five years in the global neuroprosthetics market, with China and India being the fastest growing markets in the Asia-Pacific region. Among the key driving forces for the neuroprosthetics market in developing countries are the large pool of patients, increasing awareness about the disease, improving healthcare infrastructure, and rising government funding in the region.

The Neuroprosthetics market to stand in a good stead from 2015 to 2021 - KYT24

Spinal Cord Stem Cells Comments Off on The Neuroprosthetics market to stand in a good stead from 2015 to 2021 – KYT24 | November 3rd, 2020

Global Neuroprosthetics Market by Type (Output (Cognitive, Motor Prosthetics), Input (Cochlear, Retinal Implant)), Techniques (Deep Brain, Vagus Nerve, Spinal Cord stimulation), Application (Epilepsy, Paralysis, Alzheimers Disease). The neuroprosthetics market is projected to reach USD 10.48 billion by 2022 from USD 5.84 billion in 2017, at a CAGR of 12.4%.

Neuroprostheses uses electrodes to interface with the central or peripheral nervous system to restore lost motor or sensory capabilities. These devices can receive neural signals from the external environment & brain, and convert the signals to restore functions such as loss of hearing and vision.

They have applications in cognitive disorders, ophthalmic disorders, motor disorders, and auditory disorders.

Theneuroprosthetics marketis projected to reach USD 10.48 billion by 2022 from USD 5.84 billion in 2017, at a CAGR of 12.4%.

People suffering from diabetes may develop several foot problems, which cause damage to blood vessels and nerves. Diabetes can also damage the blood vessels in the retina, which can cause vision impairments or blindness.

As a result, the increasing incidence of diabetes is expected to support the growth of the retinal/bionic eye implants market. The top five countries with the highest diabetic population in 2013 (age group of 2079 years) were China, India, the US, Brazil, and the Russian Federation.

Dysvascular disorder- and diabetes-related amputations are expected to drive the demand for artificial limb replacements in the near future. The prevalence of diabetes has significant regional variation.

Since its burden is higher in the Asia Pacific region, this factor is expected to have a more substantial effect on the market in countries in Southeast Asia and the Indian subcontinent.

Novel therapies, such as stem cell therapy, are showcasing a significant potential for the effective treatment of various neurological disorders. Stem cell therapy is an emerging branch of medicine that has the potential to restore organ and tissue function in patients suffering from serious injuries or chronic diseases.

These therapies offer advantages such as higher recovery rates and faster recovery periods for patients. Moreover, stem cells also have significant potential in the treatment of motor neuron disease, Parkinsons disease, and Alzheimers disease.

Furthermore, medicinal, physical, occupational, and speech therapies are available for the treatment of several neurological disorders. For instance, currently, the preference for drug therapies is higher among Parkinsons patients due to the lower cost and convenience of the treatment.

The availability of these alternative treatment options is one of the significant factors limiting the demand for and adoption of neuroprosthetic devices and implants among the target patient population.

Neuroprosthetic procedures involve minimally invasive techniques as opposed to alternate surgical procedures for treating tremors primarily associated with Parkinsons, which are invasive treatments. For instance, in a pallidotomy, the surgeon destroys a tiny part of the globus pallidus by creating a scar to reduce brain activity.

Doctors do not prefer this procedure and encourage the use of deep brain stimulation; instead, as it does not destroy brain tissue and has fewer risks as compared to pallidotomy.

The use of DBS in newer applications/indications, such as Alzheimers, epilepsy, and depression, is currently in clinical trials. Similarly, the treatment of heart failure, sleep apnea, obesity, and tinnitus through VNS (Vagus Nerve Stimulation); fecal incontinence by SNS (Sacral Nerve Stimulation); and tinnitus, migraine, and stroke by TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) are also under clinical trials.

TMS is currently used to treat depression, SNS for urine incontinence, and VNS for epilepsy.

Autologous Stem Cell Based Therapies Market to Witness Increase in Revenues by 2020-2026 - PRnews Leader

Cardiac Stem Cells Comments Off on Autologous Stem Cell Based Therapies Market to Witness Increase in Revenues by 2020-2026 – PRnews Leader | November 3rd, 2020

KING OF PRUSSIA, Pa., Nov. 2, 2020 /PRNewswire/ --Global biotherapeutics leader CSL Behring announced today that its investigational, plasma-derived hemopexin therapy (CSL889) received orphan drug designation from both the European Commission and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Office of Orphan Products Development for the treatment of sickle cell disease (SCD). These designations grant special status to drugs and biological products intended to treat a rare disease, affecting less than 200,000 patients in the US or affecting not more than five in 10,000 people in the European Union.

CSL889 is a form of plasma-derived hemopexin, an important, naturally occurring protein produced in the body whose levels are decreased in patients with SCD. Low levels of hemopexin have been associated with increased symptoms in SCD, particularly acute vaso-occlusive crises (VOC). VOC, the most common manifestation in SCD, are severe, debilitating episodes characterized by severe pain. There is no approved treatment for acute VOC, so episodes can only be managed with supportive measures such as fluids and pain killers.

"Having treated hundreds of adults and children living with sickle cell disease over 30 years, I'm intensely aware of the need for novel and effective therapies, especially to relieve the tremendous pain from VOC," said Professor Greg Kato, who is leading the clinical development of CSL 889 at CSL Behring. "This newly granted orphan status recognizes the urgency for progressing new treatment options into the clinic."

CSL Behring has two Phase I SCD programs poised to evolve the treatment paradigm for patients: CSL889 hemopexin therapy for the treatment of VOC and CSL200 lentiviral stem cell gene therapy for long-term disease management.

About Sickle Cell Disease

Sickle Cell Disease is a hereditary blood disorder in which red blood cells contain an abnormal type of hemoglobin, causing some of the cells to become distorted into a crescent, or sickle-shape. These misshapen red blood cells have difficulty passing through small blood vessels, slowing and blocking blood flow to areas of the body, damaging tissue that isn't receiving a normal flow of blood. Sickle Cell Disease can lead to episodes of severe pain, strokes, kidney, lung and heart problems, slow growth, vision problems and infection vulnerability. While frequency of Sickle Cell Disease varies globally, it is estimated to impact 100,000 people in the US and 1 in 10,000 persons in the European Union.

Waking up the dead science fiction or a Halloween night horror movie? No, thats the goal of Bioquarks ReAnima project. The project aims to restore neuronal activity in brain dead people by combining several techniques: stem cell injection, nerve stimulation, and laser.

Stem Cells

Stem cells are increasingly becoming a serious treatment option for many nervous disorders: Alzheimers, Parkinsons, brain injuries, etc. So why not repair the brains of the dead to bring them back to life? This idea, worthy of a science fiction (or horror) film, is the crazy project of a company based in Philadelphia: Bioquark.

This is not the first time that the company wants to participate in such an experiment. In 2016, the ReAnima study was launched in Bangalore, India, together with Himanshu Bansal, an orthopedic surgeon at Anupam Hospital. His plan was to combine several techniques to revive 20 brain dead people.

ReAnima consisted of injecting patients with mesenchymal stem cells and peptides that help regenerate brain cells; these peptides were to be supplied by Bioquark. In addition to these injections, transcranial laser stimulation and nerve stimulation were planned. This project was stopped by the Indian authorities in November last year, as revealed then by Science magazine.

But the company did not admit defeat. This time, according to the company, they are close to finding a new location for their clinical trials. Ira Pastor, CEO of Bioquark, told the Stat website that the company would announce the process in Latin America in the coming months.

If the experiment follows the same protocol as planned in India, it may involve 20 people. The clinical trial would again involve the injection of the patients stem cells, fat, blood Then a mixture of peptides would be injected into the spinal cord to stimulate the growth of new nerve cells. This compound, called BQ-A, was tested on animal models with head trauma. In addition, the nerves would be stimulated by nerve stimulation and 15 days of laser therapy to stimulate the neurons to make nerve connections. Researchers could then monitor the effects of this treatment using electroencephalograms.

But such a protocol raises many questions: How would a clinical trial be conducted on officially deceased people? If the person recovers some brain activity, in what state would he be? Will families be given false hope with a treatment that may take a long time?

There is no indication that such a protocol will work. The company has not even tested the entire treatment on animal models! The mentioned treatments, such as injection of stem cells or transcranial stimulation, were tested in other situations, but not in cases of brain death. In an article published in 2016, neurologist Ariane Lewis and bioethicist Arthur Caplan stressed that the experiment had no scientific basis and that it gave families false and cruel hopes of a cure.

Philadelphia Based Company Wants to Bring Back the Dead With Stem Cells - Gilmore Health News

How an Imaging Test Predicts Treatment Response

If youve already gone through a round of treatment for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and it didnt work, or your cancer came back after treatment, your doctor might start talking to you about having an autologous stem cell transplant. This therapy involves getting high doses of chemotherapy to get rid of your cancer cells, followed by an infusion of stem cells taken from your blood or bone marrow before treatment, to replenish your bodys supply of healthy blood cells.

Related: What is Autologous Stem Cell Transplant?

A stem cell transplant can be a pretty grueling treatment that involves getting very high doses of chemotherapy, spending three to four weeks in the hospital, and enduring side effects like nausea, vomiting, mouth pain, infections, bleeding, and lung inflammation. And after all of that, you still may not get the results you want.

If its going to cure the patient, I think its all worthwhile to go through, Dr. Jakub Svoboda, medical oncologist at Penn Medicine, tells SurvivorNet. If, on the other hand, a stem cell transplant isnt likely to result in a cure, it may not be a good choice for you.

One clue that can help your doctor decide whether a stem cell transplant is worth the risks involved is how well you responded to chemotherapy after your cancer relapsed. People with an aggressive lymphoma that didnt respond well to chemotherapy tend not to have a good outcome from a stem cell transplant.

Having a combination imaging test called a PET/CT scan before a stem cell transplant can help pinpoint your response to chemo, and let you avoid some potentially severe side effects if this treatment isnt likely to cure you. The PET/CT technology has allowed us to select the patients who will likely benefit from autologous STEM cell transplant, Dr. Svoboda says.

The PET/CT scan combines two common cancer imaging tests. PET stands for positron emission tomography. Before the test, you get an injection of a small amount of radioactive sugar, called fluorodeoxyglucose-18 (FGD-18). Because cancer cells use a lot more energy than healthy cells, they absorb the sugar in larger amounts. As the tracer collects in the cancer, it makes those areas light up and become visible, so your doctor can see them on the scan.

CT is short for computed tomography. It takes x-rays of your body from different angles, to create a cross-sectional view of your organs and tissues. The CT scan can reveal areas of your body that are enlarged from the cancer. It alone isnt sensitive enough to pick up metabolically active areas of cancer, which is why the two tests are combined.

A computer combines the PET and CT images to give your doctor a highly detailed, three-dimensional view of your cancer. Having both of these tests together can show your doctor not only whether your cancer is shrinking, but also if its still active.

When people still have some metabolic activity within shrinking areas of cancer, they actually dont do well with the transplant, Dr. Svoboda says.

Its very helpful for doctors to have the information from a PET/CT scan, Dr. Svoboda tells SurvivorNet. You can then offer that patient a different treatment or steer them toward some of the novel therapies.

One alternative to stem cell transplant is chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy. Its a promising treatment for some people with aggressive non-Hodgkin lymphoma that hasnt responded to other treatments. CAR T-cell therapy involves genetically modifying your own immune cells so that they attack your cancer. CAR T-cell therapy or other treatments actually may have a better chance at working than transplanting in this setting, Dr. Svoboda says.
