The Spinal Cord Trauma Treatment Market To Walk The Path Of Double Digit CAGR Of 3.7% - KYT24

Spinal Cord Stem Cells Comments Off on The Spinal Cord Trauma Treatment Market To Walk The Path Of Double Digit CAGR Of 3.7% – KYT24 | November 18th, 2020

For the first time, researchers at the Center for Cell-Based Therapy (CTC) in Ribeiro Preto, Brazil, have identified a non-hereditary mutation in blood cells from a patient with GATA2 deficiency.

GATA2 deficiency is a rare autosomal disease caused by inherited mutations in the gene that encodes GATA-binding protein 2 (GATA2), which regulates the expression of genes that play a role in developmental processes and cell renewal.

An article on the study is publishedin the journalBlood.

The non-hereditary mutation may have acted as a natural gene therapy which prevented the disease from damaging the process of blood cell renewal. This meant that the patient did not develop such typical clinical manifestations as bone marrow failure, hearing loss, and lymphedema.

The researchers say that the findings pave the way for the use of gene therapy and changes to the process of checking family medical history and medical records for families with the hereditary disorder.

Luiz Fernando Bazzo Catto, first author of the article, said: When a germline [inherited] mutation in GATA2 is detected, the patients family has to be investigated because there may be silent cases.

The discovery was made when two sons were receiving medical treatment at the blood centre of the hospital run by FMRP-USP, both of which, in post-mortem DNA sequencing, showed germline mutations and GATA2 deficiency diagnosis. The researchers used next generation sequencing to estimate the proportion of normal blood cells in the fathers bone marrow, preventing clinical manifestations of GATA2 deficiency, and of cells similar to his childrens showing that 93% of his leukocytes had the mutation that protects from the clinical manifestations of GATA2 deficiency.

Following the sequencing of the fathers T-lymphocytes, the researchers found that the mutation occurred early in their lives and in the development of hematopoietic stem cells, which have the potential to form blood.

They also measured the activity of the blood cells, to see if they could maintain the activity of inducing normal cell production for a long time, by measuring the telomeres of his peripheral blood leukocytes. Telomeres are repetitive sequences of non-coding DNA at the tip of chromosomes that protect them from damage. Each time cells divide, their telomeres become shorter. They eventually become so short that division is no longer possible, and the cells die or become senescent.

The telomeres analysed by the researchers were long, indicating that the cells can remain active for a long time.

The researchers hypothesised that the existence of the somatic mutation in the fathers blood cells, and its restoration of the blood cell renewal process, may have contributed to the non-manifestation of extra-haematological symptoms of GATA2 deficiency such as deafness, lymphedema, and thrombosis.

Professor Rodrigo Calado, a corresponding author of the article, said: A sort of natural gene therapy occurred in this patient. Its as if he embodied an experiment and a medium-term prospect of analogous gene therapy treatment in patients with GATA2 deficiency.

The findings help us understand better how stem cells can recover by repairing an initial genetic defect.

Experts diagnose someone with a blood cancerapproximately every three minutes in the United States. Every year, new blood cancer reports account for10 percent of new diagnoses of cancer.

There are typically three separate types of blood cancers, according toExpress.co.uk. These include leukemia, lymphoma, and myeloma. Signs and symptoms vary based on the form of blood cancer an individual has.

Major factors in leukemia survival rates include early diagnosis and management. Read on to find out more about some of the signs of early blood cancer that you can never miss.

(Photo : Dan Kitwood/Getty Images/Cancer Research UK)CAMBRIDGE, UNITED KINGDOM - DECEMBER 09: A fridge of chemical solutions which contain nutrients that are needed to 'feed' cells and keep them alive for laboratory experiments, at the Cancer Research UK Cambridge Institute on December 9, 2014 in Cambridge, England. Cancer Research UK is the world's leading cancer charity dedicated to saving lives through research. Its vision is to bring forward the day when all cancers are cured. They have saved millions of lives by discovering new ways to prevent, diagnose and treat cancer, and as such the survival rate in the UK has doubled in the last 40 years. Cancer Research UK funds over 4,000 scientists, doctors and nurses across the UK, more than 33,000 patients who join clinical trials each year and a further 40,000 volunteers that give their time to support the work.

According toHematology.org, most blood cancers begin in the bone marrow - where blood is made. These cancers disrupt the development and work of your blood. The stem cells transform into three types of blood cells-white, red, or platelets in the bone marrow.

When anyone has blood cancer, and irregular blood cell's development influences the regular output of blood cells. These cancer cells inhibit the regular functions of your blood such as preventing excessive bleeding or combating diseases. There are three major types of tumors in the blood: leukemia, lymphoma, and myeloma.

Leukemia is a disease that induces the massive development of irregular white blood cells in your blood marrow. This stops bacteria from being combated by the body. These cells often hinder platelets and red blood cells from being formed by the bone marrow.

Plasma cell cancer is myeloma. The antibodies in your body are produced by these white blood cells to combat and resist illnesses and diseases. This cancer can disrupt the immune system of your body and render you susceptible to infection.

Lymphoma hinders the lymphatic function that generates immune cells and removes the body from surplus fluids. Abnormal lymphocytes, along with other cells, can accumulate and gather in the lymph nodes. The body's immune system is weakened by these cancerous cells.

Blood cancer signs differ, like leukemia. Here are certain signs of blood cancer that you can look out for. Many of these signs may sound like the flu and maybe simple to ignore.

If the body produces leukemia, blood cells are destroyed by the disease, so it is impossible for your body to produce safe blood cells. You can experience anemia, and light skin is one of the major signs of anemia. Also, your hands can feel cold to the touch.

A typical symptom in certain diseases is exhaustion. You can see the doctor if you feel more worn out than usual and note a drastic difference in your energy.

Your blood cells aid the functioning of the immune system. The body's immune system does not normally work when certain cells are unhealthy, leading you to get sick more frequently. Frequent fevers and pneumonia are some of the most prominent first signs of leukemia.

You can also keep an eye on any shortness of breath if you are feeling energy depleted. You can take care if you feel short of breath any more quickly during physical exercise.

You can bleed more than usual because the body does not produce enough platelets. You might even more often get a bloody nose. Other modifications connected to your blood that you can look out for include:

No one is sure of what induces leukemia or other cancers of the blood, and there is no means of stopping it. Many factors in the environment, including smoking, pollution, and radiation, may lead to this disease's growth. The past of the family may also play a part in your chance of leukemia.

ABSTRACT

Anti-inflammatory and immune-modulatory therapies have been proposed for the treatment of COVID-19 and its most serious complications. Among others, the use of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) is under investigation given their well-documented anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties. However, some critical issues regarding the possibility that MSCs could be infected by the virus have been raised. Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) and type II transmembrane serine protease (TMPRSS2) are the main host cell factors for the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome-Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) entry but so far it is unclear if human MSCs express or do not these two proteins. To elucidate these important aspects, we evaluated if human MSCs from both fetal and adult tissues constitutively express ACE2 and TMPRSS2 and, most importantly, if they can be infected by SARS-CoV-2. We evaluated human MSCs derived from amnios, cord blood, cord tissue, adipose tissue and bone marrow. ACE2 and TMPRSS2 were expressed by the SARS-CoV-2-permissive human pulmonary Calu-3 cell line but not by all the MSCs tested. MSCs were then exposed to SARS-CoV-2 wild strain without evidence of cytopathic effect. Moreover, we also excluded that the MSCs could be infected without showing lytic effects since their conditioned medium after SARS-CoV-2 exposure did not contain viral particles. Our data, demonstrating that MSCs derived from different human tissues are not permissive to SARS-CoV-2 infection, support the safety of MSCs as potential therapy for COVID-19. AlphaMed Press 2020 SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: Human mesenchymal stromal cells (hMSCs) are currently under investigation for the treatment of COVID-19. However, the potential safety profile of hMSCs in this context has never been defined since none has described if they express ACE2 and TMPRSS2, the main host cell factors for SARS-CoV-2 entry, and if they can be infected by SARS-CoV-2. We provide the first evidence that ACE2 and TMPRSS2 are not expressed in hMSCs derived from both adult and fetal human tissues and, most importantly, that hMSCs are not permissive to SARS-CoV-2 infection. These results support the safety of MSCs as potential therapy for COVID-19.

Organoids can be used to study early stages of heart development in mouse embryos, a new study shows.

Researchers from the cole Polytechnique Fdrale de Lausanne, Switzerland, have reported that they were able to produce a mouse heart organoid from embryonic stem cells, which displayed essential features of an early developing heart. They suggested that this reveals a novel application of organoids for studying early embryonic stages of development.

'One of the advantages of embryonic organoids is that, through the co-development of multiple tissues, they preserve crucial interactions that are necessary for embryonic organogenesis,' said Dr Giuliana Rossi, lead author of the study. 'The emerging cardiac cells are thus exposed to a context similar to the one that they encounter in the embryo.'

In their study, published in Cell Stem Cell, the team exposed mouse embryonic stem cells to a mix of three factors involved in promoting heart growth. One week later, the stem cells self-organised into so-called gastruloids:organoids with an embryo-like organisation, which displayed signs of early heart development. The cell aggregatesnot only expressed several genes known to regulate cardiovascular development, but also generated a structure resembling a vascular network. Furthermore, the researchers found an 'anterior cardiac crescent-like domain' in the gastruloids, which even produced a beating heart tissue. Similar to the muscle cells of the embryonic heart, this area was also sensitive to calcium ions.

Organoids have been mostly the focus of research into the generation of adult tissues and organs for pharmaceutical and medical research. In their new publication, Professor Matthias Ltolf and his team suggested that they can also provide a system to study early embryonic stages of the developing heart and other organs, as they preserve important tissue-tissue interactions.

Four months after a patient death forced Cellectis to halt one of their off-the-shelf CAR-T trials, the FDA has given them the OK to start dosing patients again.

The Paris-based biotech said they changed the studys protocol to accommodate the agencys concerns, although they will still have to work with investigators to obtain local approval to restart the trial and start recruiting patients again. Prior its halt, the Phase I had sites in New York, New Jersey and Texas.

Cellectis did not disclose what the changes were, but after the initial hold, analysts suggested the company might monitor patient cytokine levels more closely, swap out of one of the chemotherapy drugs used or prevent patients who have previously received an experimental multiple myeloma CAR-T from enrolling.

The companys stock {CLLS} rose 5.6% on the news, from $19.70 to $20.80.

Though partnered with the new upstarts such as Arie Belldegruns Allogene, Cellectis, a 21-year-old company, has been working on off-the-shelf versions to the first CAR-Ts since before those CAR-Ts were approved.

One of three different solo projects now in the clinic, the halted study, MELANI-01, is testing a cell therapy for multiple myeloma. If effective, it could serve as a potentially easier way to manufacture and administer an alternative to the multiple myeloma CAR-Ts now nearing approval from J&J and Legend Biotech and from bluebird bio and Bristol Myers Squibb.

When they announced the hold, Cellectis CMO Carrie Brownstein said that the company had already independently decided to move forward with dose level 1 in the study. The patient who died had been the first to receive dose level 2, an infusion of 3 million cells per kilogram. They developed cytokine release syndrome, the hallmark side effect of CAR-T therapy, and died of cardiac arrest 25 days later.

The dose 1 level involves 1 million cells per kilogram.

The FDA has been on high alert for safety issues in cell therapy trials, and this wasnt the first time theyve paused a Cellectis study. Back in 2017, another patient death paused development of UCART123.

After some protocol adjustments, the therapy was allowed to go back into patients. It is now in a Phase I for blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm, a rare and aggressive blood cancer.
