PM Modi Waives off Rs 6 Crore Tax on Imported Medicine for 6-month-old Baby Girl from Mumbai – News18

By daniellenierenberg

For baby Teera Kamat, who has been on the earth for a mere six months, every day has been a struggle for existence and a grim reminder to her parents about the fragile little being that needed a miracle to be saved. Mumbai-born Teera is suffering from Spinal Muscular Atrophy, a very rare medical condition that often does not let children live beyond 5 months of age and her condition requires a lot of money for the treatment.

On Wednesday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in a humanitarian move, decided to waive off Rs 6 crore as a GST amount against Rs 16 crore of imported medicines that are required to treat Teera. Baby Teera's parents Priyanka and Mihir Kamat have raised Rs 16 crore through crowdfunding for their daughter who needs a surgery to be cured. It also includes the cost of the medicine Zolgensma which has to be imported from the US. The tax exemption for baby's treatment amounts to at least Rs 6.5 crore and it includes 23 percent import duty and 12 percent Goods Services Tax.

The infant's parents had earlier appealed to PM Modi in October last year about Teeras medical condition and in January this year. The Leader of Opposition Devendra Fadnavis also wrote to the Prime Minister and Finance Minister Nirmala Sitaraman reiterating the request to exempt taxes on the medicine import.

It is a type of genetic disorder and a motor neuron disease that results in a person not having any control over movement of their muscles due because of the lack of nerve cells, in their spinal cord and/or brain stem.

Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) results in muscle wasting and weakness. For someone suffering from SMA, it is very difficult to stand, walk and control their movements. Some intense forms of the SMA can also result in inability to breathe and swallow.

SMA can either occur at birth or even appear at stages of life and they can affect one's life expectancy depending upon the seriousness and the type of the SMA.

So far, there has been no cure of SMA, but certain medicines do help, such as nusinersen (Spinraza) and onasemnogene abeparvovec-xioi (Zolgensma), that help slow the disease's progress.

The types of SMA depend on when they start showing up in a patient and how the symptoms vary in them. There are basically four kinds of SMA, as National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke list, which affects symptoms and life expectancy.

The first type of SMA, or Werdnig-Hoffmann disease appears before the infant is even 6 months of age. The child might be born with difficulty in breathing and the serious condition can turn fatal if there's no treatment.

Those with SMA type II will start showing symptoms of the disease usually when they are between 6 and 18 months of age. These children can sit but will not be able to walk or stand without helped and without treatment, they might just lose their power to sit as well.

Children with SMA type III or Kugelberg-Welander disease start showing symptoms after they are 18 months of age and can walk on their own. They however, experience difficultly in walking or running and other such physical exercises related to legs.

Those with SMA type IV usually develop the symptoms after they are over 21 years of age ad have minor muscle weakness and other issues. It doesn't affect one's life expectancy.

The USA Food and Drug Administration has approved the Zolgensma gene therapy for children who show the signs of the disease and are less than 2 years. Last year in August, the FDA also gave its nod to the orally-administered drug risdiplam (Evrysdi) for patients who are older than two months of age and are diagnosed with SMA.

Physical therapy, occupational therapy, and rehabilitation are some measures that can be taken to help improve posture, stop joint immobility and help in case of muscle weakness and atrophy.

Engineered stem cells that evade immune detection could …

By daniellenierenberg

Sana Biotechnology was founded in 2018 with a mission of solving some of the most difficult challenges in gene and cell therapy. Toward that end, the company is engineering hypoimmune stem cells that can evade detection and destruction by the immune system.

Now, some of Sanas founders, who are scientists at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), are describing how these engineered stem cells are able to shut down the immune systems natural killer (NK) cells. They believe their findings could enhance the development of implantable cell therapies, as well as cancer immunotherapies, they reported in the Journal of Experimental Medicine.

The ability to evade NK cells could enhance a range of experimental treatments, including implants of insulin-producing cells for patients with diabetes and cardiac cells to repair heart damage. These cells are typically rejected by the immune systema problem hypoimmune stem cells were designed to circumvent.

The UCSF team used gene modification technology to design the cells so they avoid the immune responses that are either built into the bodys defense system or learned. The researchers achieved that feat by engineering the cells to express the protein CD47, which shuts down innate immune cells by activating signal regulatory protein alpha, or SIRP-alpha.

The researchers were surprised to discover that the hypoimmune stem cells were able to escape NK cells, even though NK cells were not previously known to express SIRP-alpha. Rather than studying lab-grown cell lines, they took cells directly from patients. Thats where they found SIRP-alpha.

Whats more, the UCSF team discovered that NK cells begin to express SIRP-alpha after they are activated by cytokines that are typically abundant in inflammatory states.

RELATED: Fierce Biotech's 2020 Fierce 15 | Sana Biotechnology

To further prove out the utility of engineered stem cells, the UCSF researchers implanted cells with rhesus macaque CD47 into monkeys. They documented the activation of SIRP-alpha in NK cells. Those NK cells did not kill the transplanted cells.

A similar technique could be used, but in reverse, to implant pig cardiac cells into people, the UCSF team argued. If human CD47 were engineered into pig heart cells, they could be implanted into people without risking rejection by NK cells, they suggested.

Sana made waves in 2018 when it raised a whopping $700 million in a single venture round from the likes of Arch Venture Partners, Flagship Pioneering and Bezos Expeditions. We believe that one of, if not the most, important thing happening in medicine over the next several decades is the ability to modulate genes, use cells as medicines, and engineer cells, said Steve Harr, president and CEO of Sana, at the time.

Sana did not provide materials or funding for the new study, but it is now developing the hypoimmune stem cell technology for clinical testing.

The UCSF team believes their findings could also boost cancer immunotherapy. The engineered cells could help combat checkpoints that allow tumors to evade immune detection, they said.

"Many tumors have low levels of self-identifying MHC-I protein and some compensate by overexpressing CD47 to keep immune cells at bay," said Lewis Lanier, Ph.D., director of the Parker Institute for Cancer Immunotherapy at the UCSF Helen Diller Family Comprehensive Cancer Center, in a statement. "This might be the sweet spot for antibody therapies that target CD47."
