Celebrating the Periodic Table of Elements – Massive Science

By daniellenierenberg

Many of us biologists conduct fieldwork in diverse places, from Alaska to the tropics, from aiming to understand how microbes are responding to climate change in the boreal soils to learning about life history strategies and co-evolutionary arms races of bats, their ectoparasitic flies, and the ectoparasitic fungi living on those flies.

The days before fieldwork tend to be hectic: make a checklist to make sure you have everything you need, think about a plan B (and a plan C, just in case), anticipate drawbacks and plan on how to address them, and the list goes on and on. The day comes. You make it to your field site, you collect the samples you want, obtain the data you need, everything works out just like planned, and you make it back to the lab safe, on time, and without going over your planned budget. This is how it should be, but it never really goes like that.

Fieldwork is one of the most exciting experiences about doing research. It is also, in many cases, high-risk. During fieldwork, many things can go wrong, and most of those things cannot be helped. We cannot control the appearances of massive puddles in the middle of the road, critically damaging our transportation vehicles. We cannot control the thunderstorm that makes our study organisms disappear when we finally arrive at a remote field site after hours of climbing a mud-covered mountain.

Sadly, this is not always the case for threats to our integrity as human beings, and we, as a scientific community, have done far too little to address this problem. People from underrepresented groups in the sciences such as people of color, women, and those who identify as LGBTQIA+ or gender nonconforming often are at higher risk of suffering abuse during fieldwork. This comes in the form of sexual harassment, sexual abuse, discrimination, and intimidation. Scientists who have experienced abuse often fear talking about it because they are traumatized and because they fear retaliation and backlash, especially if the perpetrators of abuse are colleagues or superiors advisers and people at higher career stage.

In Spring 2018, we carried out an anonymous survey to collect testimonies of what scientists, specifically from the LGBTQIA+ community, experience during fieldwork. The idea for such a survey sprouted from concerns that sexual orientation or gender identity may play an unwanted or unwarranted role in peoples professional career. Especially during fieldwork, when Diversity and Inclusion Offices from our university campuses are far away, LGBTQIA+ researchers are exposed to people who may not agree with their sexual orientation or who do not understand why he may want to be addressed as they.

Responses revealed experiences ranging from discrimination to situations that made researchers decide to no longer perform fieldwork outside of safe places. This adds a whole new level to fieldwork stress, namely having to evaluate sites for their tolerance towards LGBTQIA+. In one story from fieldwork, men voiced discomfort because an openly gay man would share a room with them while, simultaneously, women felt uncomfortable due to the possibility of having to share a room with someone from the opposite sex. Another survey respondent described that they were fearful to carry out fieldwork in places that are recognized for their homophobic culture. These experiences leave people feeling isolated and rejected.

We present a few strategies that we can instill in STEM fields to avoid cases like these:

1) INFORM PEOPLE ABOUT LGBTQIA+. Erase any misinformation that may exist. For example, a gay man is not a threat to the sexuality of cisgender males. Institutions can facilitate trainings on diversity and inclusiveness and provide information on the LGBTQIA+ community to eliminate negative stereotypes.

2) HAVE SUFFICIENT FUNDING AVAILABLE FOR FIELDWORK. Although sometimes it's unavoidable to share rooms due to limited budget or space, if there is the possibility to do so, provide individual lodging for people traveling to fieldwork or conferences. Especially for those who ask for it.

3) DEVELOP AN EMERGENCY PROTOCOL. As a lab, department, or institution, develop a protocol that scientists can follow as a response to experiencing a threat to their integrity. Protocols like this should be part of a broader departmental or university-wide mission statement about equity in field work. The bar has been set high by this example of a mission statement written by University of California Irvine professor Kathleen Treseder.

4) AVOID INTOLERANT AREAS. It is important to note that this does not only apply to countries like Niger and Tunisia where discriminatory laws expose LGBTQIA+ individuals to the risk of death penalty. It also applies close to home, in the USA, where there is an ongoing debate about public restrooms and which one transgender people and people who identify as gender-nonconforming should use.

5) IMPLEMENT A ZERO-TOLERANCE POLICY. Inform everyone in your lab, department and institution that there is a zero-tolerance policy regarding abuse. A code of conduct with expected versus unaccepted behavior and practices should always be made available through trainings and in field stations.

The Year in Review: Bioprinting in 2019 – 3DPrint.com

By daniellenierenberg

This year, the bioprinting community has discovered ways to speed up precision in 3D bioprinting. Even though experts have warned us that 3D printed organs might not be available for a long time, we cant help the excitement after witnessing crucial progress in 2019 that gets us closer to the possibility of having functional, compatible and working organs and tissues, especially after researchers made significant progress with different tissues and structures. Other relevant research highlights of this year include new bioprinting machines and bioinks, innovation centers and projects from Australias bioprinting research community, and a map of bioprinting companies that gave us a clear grasp of the main biotech hubs around the world.

Bioprinters and bioinks

In early November we learned that researchers at Harvard UniversitysWyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineeringcreated a fast multimaterial 3D printer. Thanks to a unique 3D printed printhead design, users can seamlessly switch between multiple different materials up to 50 times per second. The 3D printing technique called Multimaterial Multinozzle 3D (MM3D) printing could revolutionize the process of printing complex structures and is just one of the many advances in 3D bioprinting coming from Wyss.

On the European front, former regenHu CEO and founder, Mark Thurner, embarked on a new journey after launching his second company, mimiX Biotherapeutics, to bioprint in the operating room using sound. The all new bioprocessing technology called Sound Induced Morphogenesis (SIM) will be launched commercially in the summer and has already demonstrated with scientific evidence that it offers tissue engineering strategies to overcome todays obstacles, for example, the creation of dense networks of cells suitable for micro vascularization.

New bioprinters became commercially available in 2019, including CELLINKs bioprinting platform for complex structures, the Bio X6, as well as the Lumen X, a digital light processing bioprinter resulting from a joint collaboration between the seasoned company and Volumetric that is designed to enhance inventions in creating more substantial vascular structures. Another Swedish-based biotech company called Fluicell released a high-resolution bioprinting technology in both 2D and 3D called Biopixlar, capable of creating complex tissue-like structures where positioning of individual cells can be controlled from a gamepad, the novel feature that allows users to control the system just like they would a videogame was well received.

CELLINK BIO X 6 (Image credit: CELLINK)

Bioink developments this year were plentiful. Companies like Allevi turned out liver-specific bioinks, Biogelx launched their first product range of synthetic bioinks for a variety of 3D printing applications, and the Tessenderlo Group released their first gelatin bioink in their Claro series of tissue-engineering products. As far as academic researchers go, they are not lagging behind, ateam of researchers atTexas A&M University have developed a 3D printable hydrogel bioink containing mineral nanoparticles that can deliver protein therapeutics to control cell behavior, while researchers at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and Yale University, turned living human skin cells into a bioink to print artificial skin, which then grows its own blood vessel system. In years to come, once these amazing advances hit the pre-clinical and clinical phases we will see an even bigger revolution in bioprinting.

Cardiac tissue engineering

(Image credit: Tel Aviv University)

The Tel Aviv University story about researchers making significant progress with 3D bioprinting by introducing a new concept for engineering fully personalized cardiac patches to repair heart defects, became quite the hype of the year, especially after many news outlets around the world began using the words 3D printed and the human heart in the same headline. Leading many to believe that a functional beating heart that could replace organ transplant was just around the corner. Although researchers actually printed a cellularized heart-like structure with a natural architecture to demonstrate the potential of the approach for organ replacement, the focus of their work was on a novel 3D printing technique that uses patients stem cells and extracellular matrix (ECM) to create a personalized hydrogel as a bioink to 3D print thick, vascularized, and perfusable cardiac patches that completely match the immunological, cellular, biochemical, and anatomical properties of the patient, regenerating a previously defective or infarcted heart part.

Some of our most seasoned interviewees suggested that bioprinted organs in the long-term future might not be anatomically designed to look like our organs, but all that matters is that they carry the functions that humans require to live.

A growing bioprinting landscape for Australia

Many of our bioprinting stories this year revolved around biotechnology discoveries, new labs and collaborative research efforts in Australia. The approach to science and research that the countrys experienced professionals have, are consistently about teamwork and collaboration, leading us to believe that perhaps theyre onto something. Constant efforts to enroll researchers in projects between different universities have been aplenty, as well as the myriad of opportunities that they have generated this year to get together and engage in biotechnology to advance the field. Integrated research labs across various universities are booming as more and more students become interested in the engineering, design, medical and biochemical aspects of biofabrication. Leading bioprinting experts Gordon Wallace, Professor at the University of Wollongong, and Jason Chuen, Vascular Surgeon and Director of the 3D Medical Printing Laboratory in Melbourne, have been actively heading and participating in conferences and seminars across the country.

With breakthrough developments like 3D Alek, a bioprinter that replicates human ears for patients with microtia, to creating their own bioinks at the lab, researchers understand that the success of their work comes from sharing knowledge and creativity among peers.

Mapping the companies that make bioprinting successful

Bioprinting world map by 3DPrint.com

To get a better grasp of the landscape that has been building up and what we can expect for the future of bioprinting, 3DPrint.com decided to map out all the companies that are working on developing both bioprinters and bioinks to advance biofabrication. Our Bioprinting World Map offers a snapshot of some of the hubs around the world where biotechnology is taking off, as well as potential startups that could revolutionize the next generation of bio machines. As some of the smaller and new companies are scaling up, coming up with new technology to tackle a competitive environment (such as Aspect Biosystems and CTI Biotech), a few are struggling to stay afloat, like Organovo, and a great deal of university spin-out businesses represent some of the cutting edge research and innovation that is undertaken in faculties and institutes (like OxSyBio, a spin-off from the University of Oxford).

Overall, 2019 was a year of highs. Looking ahead to 2020, we can expect a continued surge in bioprinting research and development as well as an ecosystem of collaboration among scientists. We should also expect top research institutions and leading companies to continue flirting with new technologies to harness the power of 3D bioprinting, as well as continue investigating the functionality of tissues for regenerative medicine. Finally, it will be important to closely analyze the growing popularity of new methods that arise and that may inspire emerging trends in the field.

Data from Exploratory Analysis Show Merck’s KEYTRUDA (pembrolizumab) Improved Overall Survival as Monotherapy for the First-Line Treatment of…

By daniellenierenberg

KRAS mutations occur in approximately 20% of people with non-small cell lung cancer, and some previous studies have suggested that these mutations are associated with a poorer response to treatment, said Dr. Jonathan Cheng, vice president, oncology clinical research, Merck Research Laboratories. It was therefore encouraging to see in this exploratory analysis that KEYTRUDA monotherapy was associated with a survival benefit in certain patients with metastatic nonsquamous non-small cell lung cancer, regardless of KRAS mutational status.

The objective of the exploratory analysis was to assess the prevalence of KRAS mutations and their association with efficacy in the KEYNOTE-042 trial. Of the 1,274 untreated patients with metastatic nonsquamous NSCLC whose tumors expressed PD-L1 (TPS 1%) enrolled in KEYNOTE-042, 301 patients had KRAS evaluable data (n=232 without any KRAS mutation; n=69 with any KRAS mutation, including n=29 with the KRAS G12C mutation). Tissue tumor mutational burden (tTMB) and KRAS mutational status were determined by whole-exome sequencing (WES) of tumor tissue and matched normal DNA (blood). Patients were randomized 1:1 to receive KEYTRUDA 200 mg intravenously every three weeks (Q3W) (n=637) or investigators choice of chemotherapy (pemetrexed or paclitaxel) (n=637). Treatment continued until progression of disease or unacceptable toxicity. The primary endpoint was OS with a TPS of 50%, 20% and 1%, which were assessed sequentially. The secondary endpoints were PFS and ORR.

Findings from this exploratory analysis showed that KEYTRUDA monotherapy was associated with improved clinical outcomes, regardless of KRAS mutational status, in patients with metastatic nonsquamous NSCLC versus chemotherapy. In this analysis, KEYTRUDA reduced the risk of death by 58% (HR=0.42 [95% CI, 0.22-0.81]) in patients with any KRAS mutation and by 72% (HR=0.28 [95% CI, 0.09-0.86]) in patients with the KRAS G12C mutation compared to chemotherapy. The safety profile of KEYTRUDA was consistent with what has been seen in previously reported studies among patients with metastatic NSCLC.

Additional efficacy results from this exploratory analysis showed:

Data from an exploratory analysis of KEYNOTE-189 (Abstract #LBA5), which evaluated KRAS mutations and their association with efficacy outcomes for KEYTRUDA in combination with pemetrexed and platinum chemotherapy, were also presented in a mini-oral session today at the ESMO Immuno-Oncology Congress 2019. KEYNOTE-189 was conducted in collaboration with Eli Lilly and Company, the makers of pemetrexed (ALIMTA).

About Lung Cancer

Lung cancer, which forms in the tissues of the lungs, usually within cells lining the air passages, is the leading cause of cancer death worldwide. Each year, more people die of lung cancer than die of colon and breast cancers combined. The two main types of lung cancer are non-small cell and small cell. Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most common type of lung cancer, accounting for about 85% of all cases. Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) accounts for about 10 to 15% of all lung cancers. Lung cancer can also be characterized by the presence of different biomarkers, including PD-L1, KRAS, ALK, EGFR and ROS1. KRAS mutations occur in about 20% of NSCLC cases. Between 2008 and 2014, the five-year survival rate for patients diagnosed in the U.S. with advanced NSCLC was only 5%.

About KEYTRUDA (pembrolizumab) Injection, 100mg

KEYTRUDA is an anti-PD-1 therapy that works by increasing the ability of the bodys immune system to help detect and fight tumor cells. KEYTRUDA is a humanized monoclonal antibody that blocks the interaction between PD-1 and its ligands, PD-L1 and PD-L2, thereby activating T lymphocytes which may affect both tumor cells and healthy cells.

Merck has the industrys largest immuno-oncology clinical research program. There are currently more than 1,000 trials studying KEYTRUDA across a wide variety of cancers and treatment settings. The KEYTRUDA clinical program seeks to understand the role of KEYTRUDA across cancers and the factors that may predict a patients likelihood of benefitting from treatment with KEYTRUDA, including exploring several different biomarkers.

AgeX Therapeutics Issues Year-End Letter to Shareholders – BioSpace

By daniellenierenberg

The letter follows.

Dear AgeX Stockholders,

In this, our first year as a public company, we have built a foundation for a revolutionary company in the fields of cell therapy and tissue regeneration. To date, conventional pharmaceutical approaches to the chronic degenerative conditions associated with aging have provided little benefit, often only offering relief from the symptoms of disease, rather than targeting underlying disease processes. Our belief is that this is about to change through harnessing the power of new cellular and molecular technologies. We aim to lead this coming revolution with our pioneering technologies which could generate and deliver new cells to patients through our cell therapy focus, and which may reverse the age of cells already in the body through our iTR platform. We believe that our new technologies will lead to true cell regeneration and replacement to potentially cure degenerative diseases by targeting aged or damaged cells, tissues and organs.

Over the last year, we have worked hard to achieve certain goals to set the fundamental basis to create shareholder value going forward:

To optimize shareholder value, we have undertaken a strategic review of our business opportunities, and we have four key take-away messages for the coming year and beyond:

UniverCyte would potentially be game-changing for the whole cell therapy industry by allowing the transplantation of non-self, donor cells into all patients without the need for powerful immunosuppressant drugs, which are associated with serious side effects, including infections and cancers, as well as kidney and liver toxicity. The UniverCyte platform aims to utilize a proprietary, novel, modified form of the powerful immunomodulatory molecule HLA-G, which in nature seems to be a dominant player in protecting a baby from destruction by the mother's immune system during pregnancy, the only known physiological state of immune tolerance toward foreign tissue in humans.

On the other hand, our pluripotent stem cell-based PureStem platform could potentially overcome numerous industry barriers. PureStem cells would have eight potential advantages compared to other adult stem cell- or pluripotent stem cell-based therapies, including lower manufacturing costs, industrial scalability, off-the-shelf usage, high purity, non-tumorgenicity, young age (so they are not prone to the disadvantages associated with older cells), aptitude for permanent cell engraftment, and potential to manufacture any human cell type.

We have two in-house product candidates, both targeting highly prevalent diseases of old age, with a high unmet medical need, and which are for multi-billion-dollar markets. Our lead internal program going forward will be AgeX-BAT1, which is brown fat cells for the treatment of type II diabetes. The last year has seen significant investment in cell therapy product candidates for diabetes by investors and large biotech. Earlier this year, we published a paper, Clonal Derivation of White and Brown Adipocyte Progenitor Cell Lines from Human Pluripotent Stem Cells, in the peer-reviewed scientific journal Stem Cell Research & Therapy, which showed that our PureStem platform generated highly pure, identifiable and scalable brown adipose cells, expressing active adipokines. Our second internal program will be AgeX-VASC1, composed of vascular endothelial progenitor cells for tissue ischemia, such as peripheral vascular disease and potentially cardiac and CNS ischaemia. Once we have a UniverCyte-modified pluripotent stem cell cGMP master cell bank, we will re-derive universal versions of AgeX-BAT1 and AgeX-VASC1 and then work to establish proof-of-concept in animal models.

We care deeply about our mission and the needs of our stockholders. We appreciate your support and the dedication of our scientists and employees as we forge a new future for medicine. We invite you to join us for the Annual Meeting of Stockholders on Monday, December 30, 2019. For those of you who cannot attend in person, our corporate update from that meeting will be webcast for your convenience.

Sincerely,

Michael D. West, Ph.D.

Gregory Bailey, M.D.

The Ins and Outs of Organ Donation – The Wire

By daniellenierenberg

Organ donation involves removing a healthy organ from a donor and transplanting it into the body of a recipient who has a diseased organ that has failed irreversibly. The recipients survival often depends on getting an organ transplant.

There is a large need for organs by people affected with end-stage ailments, like diseases of the liver, lung, heart and kidney. A major obstacle to treating such people is that there arent enough donated organs around the world. In many countries, including in the West, the number of patients in the waiting list for organ transplants has progressively increased compared to the number of donor organs available.

And while the number of donors per million people is very low in many parts of the world, about 20-30 per million, its many times lower than this in India: less than 0.5 donor per million. Experts have estimated that a few lakh organs are required per year in India, although no more than 2-3% of this requirement is really met. The severe shortfall may need more effective propaganda, retrieval and use of donated organs.

There are also personal, religious and cultural barriers that make it hard for people to accept the idea of organ donation. Most religions dont appear to oppose organ donation, but people are often uncertain about these recommendations and so they are reluctant to donate. Judaism and Islam prohibit the desecration of corpses and stress on a complete body, timely rituals and burial within 24 hours after death. People may not prefer to donate organs of their near and dear after death, due to the mutilating effect of dissecting the body and removing its parts.

There are often logistical issues as well. Due to a lack of awareness of the donation procedure and its consequences, most people prefer receiving organs from live, instead of recently deceased, donors.

* * *

Organ donation came to be thanks to advances in surgical procedures that allowed doctors to replace a diseased or dying organ with a healthy foreign organ. These advances reflected the rise of the exchangeability of body parts. That is, clinicians began to view the body as a collection of organs and independent entities, such that they could be removed from one body and placed in another. By contrast, the older and more traditional view of the body regarded it as a complex, indivisible whole interacting with its environment. As the idea of exchangeability gained traction, organs became commodities with market value.

Also read:The Seamy Underbelly of Organ Transplantation in India

The advent of organ transplantation was a landmark in the history of medicine. Researchers had developed transplantation surgeries for small animals such as dogs, pigs and goats well before the 20th century. The organs in the human body that doctors most transplant are the kidney, heart and liver.

Murray and Merrill performed the first kidney transplant in the 1950s, from one monozygotic twin to another. Since the twins were genetically identical, they survived and lived for eight years after the procedure.

The first heart and liver transplants were undertaken in the mid-1960s. Christian Bernard, the famous South African surgeon, performed the first heart transplant in 1967, from a 25-year-old who was brain dead after an accident and to a 50-year-old man suffering from heart failure. In the same year, other doctors performed more than 100 heart transplants around the world, but the recipients in these transplants didnt live for more than a few days after. There were problems related to the health of the transplanted organs and the aftereffects of surgery.

An American surgeon named Thomas Starzl performed the first liver transplant in the mid-1960s. The first patient died immediately and after the surgery; a few more patients who received transplanted organs also died from infections and other illnesses within a few weeks.

Corneal grafts are a very well-known and effective form of organ or tissue donation. The cornea, which is the transparent structure on the front of the eye, consists of multiple layers of cells designed to be transparent. The cornea refracts light towards the eyes lens, located just behind it. Its relatively simpler to transplant cornea because it lacks blood vessels (i.e. since one doesnt need to restore blood vessels in the grafted tissue).

Another advantage is that the cornea is in a state of immune privilege: it is relatively protected from immune responses. So persons who undergo a corneal transplant dont need lifelong treatment with systemic drugs to suppress the immune system.

Corneal donation and transplantation have continuously evolved in theory and practice, and have a high rate of success. Franz Reisinger first attempted corneal grafts in the early 19th century, trying to transplant animal corneas into humans. He failed in repeated attempts. Reisinger also coined the term keratoplasty, which means surgery to the cornea.

Only a few years later, Samuel Bigger, an Irish surgeon, treated a gazelle that had been blinded by a corneal scar by transplanting cornea from another gazelle.

A Viennese ophthalmologist named Edward Zirm performed the first successful corneal graft between two humans in the early 20th century.

One possible reason why organ transplants often dont have long-term success is the recipient. A person who is already sick due to a failed heart or liver is not likely to respond well to major surgery, and may have difficulty recovering from it. Similarly, an older patient may not be able to withstand the effects of surgery.

Another important factor is the recipients immune system, which could reject the donated organ. In 1979, doctors who just performed a liver transplant used a drug called cyclosporine to dampen the bodys immune response and thus spare the transplanted organ from attack. This occasion was a new step in the history of liver transplants. Cyclosporine improved the survival of over 70% of patients up to at least one year after surgery, and many patients survived for up to five yrs. Doctors have followed up with newer, better drugs to improve patients health outcomes since.

A third issue relates to an ethical question that researchers have flagged: a living donor has to undergo a major surgical procedure to donate an organ, and such procedures carry their own risks. Moreover, close relatives of a patient may be under pressure to agree to donate their organs, so they may not be necessarily free to decide for themselves. Another issue regards commercialisation: its very easy to provide monetary incentives to the poor and convince them to donate an organ in return. In such circumstances, the decision to donate an organ will not have been the result of free choice where it should be.

Such a market for kidneys is all too visible in India, where one finds advertisements for the sale of kidneys with hospitals involved in the business. Often, poor people are ready to donate their organs to make a lakh or two. Apart from theft and the black market for organs, monetary compensation for organs is legal in some parts of the world.

* * *

An alternative to overcome the shortage of organs for transplants is a xenotransplant: transplanting animal organs into humans. The principal animals that can potentially donate to humans are monkeys, since theyre most closely related to humans.

However, due to differences between the sizes of monkey and human organs, researchers have also considered pigs, whose organs are closer in dimensions as well as because pigs are easy to breed. Researchers are currently exploring these procedures in experiments.

Another alternative for intact organs is stem cells, which scientists can grow in controlled environments, such as in a laboratory, and develop into miniature organs, or organoids. Using bioengineering techniques, they removed cells from an intact organ, such as a lung or trachea, such that the cells retain a skeleton of proteins and carbohydrates. Next, they populate these cells with stem cells and maintained them in a laboratory so that different types of cells grow inside the container. For example, scientists have grown multilayered corneas in a dish using a culture of stem cells and certain biomolecules.

Such advances in preserving and engineering tissues are help plug the gap between the demand for and supply of organs.

* * *

Its very important to preserve and properly store organs to ensure theyre in the best possible condition and retain their nature following transplantation. One particular concern here stems from the time and temperature of storage, which need to be carefully controlled to remain within specific limits depending on the organ and the type of death. Maintaining the right conditions ensures the organ remains viable after the recipient has received it. A heart may be stored for up to four hours, the lungs for up to six hours and the kidneys for longer periods, up to 18 hours.

A critical question to be addressed with regard to organ donation is the distinction between brain death and cardiac, or circulatory, death. A brain-dead patient will still have a functioning heart and may be on life support. However, brain-death means brain function has been completely and irreversibly lost.

For an organ donor, a criterion of either brain death or cardiac death may be taken under the definition of death. Indian law mentions two possibilities. One is in the Registration of Births and Deaths Act and the other, in the Transplantation of Human Organs and Tissues (THOT) Act. The former defines death as the permanent disappearance of all evidence of life at any time after live-birth has taken place. The THOT Act, on the other hand, defines a deceased person as one in whom permanent disappearance of all evidence of life occurs, by reason of brain stem death or in a cardiopulmonary sense, at any time after live-birth has taken place.

In many countries, both forms of death are considered acceptable for organ donation.

CALQUENCE Significantly Prolonged the Time Patients Lived Without Disease Progression or Death in Previously Untreated Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia -…

By daniellenierenberg

WILMINGTON, Del.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--AstraZeneca today presented results from the interim analysis of the Phase III ELEVATE TN trial, showing that CALQUENCE (acalabrutinib) combined with obinutuzumab or as monotherapy significantly improved progression-free survival (PFS) compared to chlorambucil plus obinutuzumab, a standard chemo-immunotherapy treatment, in patients with previously untreated chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL).

The Independent Review Committee (IRC)-assessed results were presented at the 2019 American Society of Hematology Annual Meeting and Exhibition in Orlando, US. At a median follow-up of 28.3 months, CALQUENCE in combination with obinutuzumab or as a monotherapy significantly reduced the risk of disease progression or death by 90% and 80%, respectively, vs. chlorambucil plus obinutuzumab.

In an exploratory analysis, CALQUENCE in combination or alone demonstrated consistent PFS improvements across most pre-specified subgroups of patients with high-risk disease characteristics, including the unmutated immunoglobulin heavy-chain variable gene (IGHV), del(11q) and complex karyotype. Overall, the safety and tolerability profile of CALQUENCE observed in the ELEVATE TN trial was consistent with its known profile.

Jos Baselga, Executive Vice President, Oncology R&D said: On the heels of approvals in the US, Australia and Canada, these full results provide further evidence that CALQUENCE, as a new treatment option for patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia, demonstrates remarkable efficacy and a favorable tolerability profile. These results also provide, for the first time, post-hoc analysis data exploring the potential progression-free survival benefit of adding obinutuzumab to a BTK inhibitor versus BTK inhibitor monotherapy in a randomized trial.

Dr. Jeff Sharman, Director of Research at Willamette Valley Cancer Institute, Medical Director of Hematology Research for The US Oncology Network, and a lead author of the ELEVATE TN trial, said: In the detailed results from the ELEVATE TN trial comparing CALQUENCE to a commonly used chemo-immunotherapy treatment regimen, CALQUENCE demonstrated a clinically meaningful improvement in progression-free survival, while maintaining its known tolerability and safety profile. These are encouraging results for a patient population that is known to face multiple comorbidities, and where tolerability is a critical factor in their treatment.

Spinning Disk Confocal Microscope Market Growth Fueled by Reviving Techniques to Treat Heart Failure with Cardiac Regenerative Medicine – MENAFN.COM

By daniellenierenberg

(MENAFN - iCrowdNewsWire) Dec 5, 2019

Cardiac failure is an insidious disease with the mortality rate as high as that of cancer around the globe. Heart failure affecting at least 26 million people worldwide in 2017 and is increasing in prevalence. The only medical treatment for heart failure is cardiac transplantation, although the shortage of donor poses a serious problem. Cell transplantation therapy with regenerative cardiomyocytes is the only solution to minimize the higher mortality rates, which requires detailed information at the level of individual cardiomyocytes. Spinning disk confocal microscopy has emerged as a new high-tech method in cardiovascular medicine for exploring the stem cells for regenerating damaged organs. This innovative microscopic technology can be used to create 3D images of the structures within living cells. Higher-efficiency imaging at lower laser powers includes less photobleaching and phototoxicity, yet cost-effective than other confocal microscopes which are the prominent features of the spinning disk confocal microscopes (SDCM). Furthermore, technological advancements in microscopy and increasing spending on the research & development are the key factors fueling the spinning disk confocal microscope market share.

The global spinning disk confocal microscope market size was valued at $245 million as of 2018 and is expected to grow with a CAGR of 3.6% throughout the forecast period 2019-2025.

Extensive Usage of Spinning Disk Confocal Microscope in the Evaluation of Various Eye Diseases

Spinning disk confocal microscope is an imaging technique which eliminates out-of-focus light efficiently and improves the image contrast, making it easier to resolve small and dim structures in the living cell. This technique is ideal for imaging poor signals at high magnification and provides prolonged life imaging with minimal photodamage. SDCM is widely used in the evaluation of various eye ailments and is predominantly useful for imaging, identification, and detailed analysis of cornea cells. Cataract accounts for the world's leading vision impairment cause, affecting approximately 12.6 million people and 52.6 million people who live with severe to mild blindness worldwide. The confocal microscope helps to provide valuable information about wound healing in the postsurgical cornea, especially after keratorefractive and transplant surgery, which in turn, creates a huge opportunity for the growth of the spinning disk confocal microscope market share. Besides, in the pharmaceutical industry, increasing usage of this confocal microscopy in the classification of systems such as tablets, film coatings and colloidal systems, which in turn, spur the growth of the spinning disk confocal microscope market size.

Application of Spinning Disk Confocal Microscopy in Bio-imaging

Confocal microscopy allows the analysis of specimens without physical sectioning when these specimens are fluorescently labeled, then more color differentiation is possible. Besides, it allows the 3D reconstruction of the live cells and organisms. For instance, researchers of the State University of New York Downstate Medical Center have found that hypoxia, the condition of lack of oxygen in the body or region of the body tissues to sustain bodily functions is because of abnormal blood flow. This, in turn, is responsible for half of the seizure-related neuronal degeneration cases in epilepsy. Consequently, the microscopic technique enables the researchers to detect abnormality in the vasodynamics of brain. Instances as such are increasing the demand for the spinning disk confocal microscope market in bio-imaging.

North America Holding Major Share of the Spinning Disk Confocal Microscope Market

North America generated 34.4% of the spinning disk confocal microscope market global revenue in 2018. Growing adoption of the confocal microscope in living cell imaging, increasing application in dentistry, and government funding and policies for medical research are key factors triggering the growth of the spinning disk confocal microscope market in this region. For instance, as part of the 2019 budget, Canadian government has decided to spend approximately $4 billion on basic medical research and this funding is given to The Stem Cell Network, a non-profit organization in Ottawa which is active into clinical applications research. Also, Genome Canada, a non-profit organization in Ottawa which supports genomic research, will get about $77 million from the government for medical research. Thus, these increasing investments in research activities is boosting the North American spinning disk confocal microscope market.

Life Sciences Observing Lucrative Opportunities in the Global Spinning Disk Confocal Microscope Market

The application segment that will be creating the most lucrative opportunities for the spinning disk confocal microscope market is life sciences.

PHATED to be: Yale researchers give shape to big data – Yale News

By daniellenierenberg

Scientists now have the ability to collect massive amounts of data on lifes most fundamental processes, such as the intricate choreography whereby a handful of embryonic stem cells give rise to trillions of specialized cells throughout the human body. But data doesnt always translate into knowledge unless the relationship of recorded data points can be presented in accurate, meaningful and visible ways.

The lab of Yales Smita Krishnaswamy, associate professor of genetics and computer science, has developed a new algorithm called PHATE that overcomes many of the shortcomings of existing data visualization tools, which are more susceptible to noise and distortion in the relationship of data points.

The panel above shows how PHATE visualizes the differentiation of human embryonic stem cells into neuronal cells, neural stem cells, cardiac cells, and endothelial cells, as compared to the visualizations created by three other technologies.A cleaner, more detailed representation is helpful, for example, for generating promising new hypotheses.

The researchers work is described Dec. 3 in the journal Nature Biotechnology.
