How umbilical cords from babies are saving cancer patients’ lives – Daily Mail

Cancer patient Nilush Aponso knows he is only alive today thanks to a decision by two anonymous mothers to donate the umbilical cords of their newborn babies.

The blood the cords contained provided life-saving cells to cure his cancer.

Nilush, 42, from Barwell, Leicester, who owns a doggy day centre, had an aggressive type of blood cancer, acute myeloid leukaemia.

Initially, chemotherapy had seemed to clear the disease but three months after his treatment finished, the cancer returned.

He was told that the only treatment option left was a stem cell transplant donated cells that would make their way to his bone marrow, where they could grow and make healthy new blood cells.

Nilush, 42, from Barwell, Leicester, had an aggressive form of blood cancer. He said he encourages the customers at his doggy daycare to donate

Xin Tong with her husband Justas Budraitis and their baby daughter Luna Budraitis (pictured) from Manchester. The couple donated baby Luna's cord blood

'I'd spent eight months in and out of hospital, having three lots of chemotherapy and trying different types of drugs, more than I can remember,' says Nilush. 'But none of them worked and doctors told me my only option left was a transplant.'

Stem cells can be taken from a donor's blood or bone marrow, but the patient's tissue type needs to be matched.

'My younger brother was tested to see if he was a match, but sadly he wasn't,' says Nilush. 'And as I'm Sri Lankan, I was told the chance of finding a match was much lower than usual because there is a shortage of people from minority ethnic backgrounds on the bone marrow register.'

Those from a minority ethnic background have only a 37 per cent chance of finding a bone marrow match from an unrelated donor, whereas someone from a white Caucasian background has a 72 per cent chance because there are many more from this population signed up to the register.

A recruitment drive among the Sri Lankan community in London couldn't find a match for Nilush, so the only chance for him was a transplant of stem cells from cord blood, i.e. that which remains in the placenta and umbilical cord following the birth of a baby.

Stem cells from cord blood don't have to be as highly matched in terms of the donor tissue type as adult stem cells.

This blood is rich in blood stem cells similar to those found in bone marrow, and because these cells have the ability to transform themselves into different types of cells, they can be used to treat a range of blood cancers, genetic disorders and immune deficiencies.

The charity Anthony Nolan, which runs the oldest bone marrow register in the UK, is now campaigning to encourage more parents to donate their baby's cord blood.

Since starting its cord blood storage programme in 2008, 324 of its donations have been used for life-saving transplants: the charity aims to bank 800 cords a year, from as diverse a population as possible.

The major benefit of cord blood stem cell transplants is they're less likely to be rejected by the host than an adult donor's cells.

'The stem cells from cord blood are more nave as they haven't been exposed to the environment or pathogens that could cause disease to a patient,' explains Dr Roger Horton, lead cord specialist at Anthony Nolan.

'They don't react in a way that could negatively impact the patient's health as much long term, which is always a possibility with cells from adult donors. So we are able to have a higher degree of mismatch and the transplant can still be a success.'

If no suitable donor is found, the charity will scour international registers for a match, as happened with Nilush.

He knows the stem cells used in his transplant came either from the cord blood of a baby born in the U.S. or from one born in Australia, as both matched.

'I'm all over the place a Sri Lankan, living in England, with an immune system from an American or an Australian,' Nilush laughs.

As well as increasing the number of transplants possible, cord blood stem cells extend the age range of patients to those of retirement age.

'With adult donor cells, high doses of chemotherapy are needed to thoroughly clean out the patient's own immune system and the side effects of this can be too harsh for older patients or those with other complications,' explains Dr Horton.

'But when using cord blood, you can use much less intense chemo, so it's broadened the window for transplant to people who have recently retired or older.'

Cord blood transplants have also increased the survival rates of some blood cancers, particularly in young patients with high-risk blood cancers. The exact figures are due to be published later this year.

The drawback of using these cells is an umbilical cord only holds 70ml to 300ml of blood.

'It's a finite amount, so we can't go back for a top-up if a patient needs more, which of course we can do if an adult donor is a match,' Dr Horton adds. (And with some diseases 'only adult donor cells will work as it can be given in greater amounts'.)

The actual transplant is relatively simple, Dr Horton says.

'The bag of cord blood, which has been stored at minus 196c, is defrosted in a waterbath at the patient's bedside and is infused via a central line into the chest, in a process lasting less than 20 minutes,' he says.

'It then takes between seven and 28 days to repopulate the bone marrow and create a functioning immune system.'

After having the cord blood transplant in November 2013, Nilush had to stay in hospital for two months. Since then, he has remained cancer free.

Yet when he was diagnosed in June 2012, after losing weight and having no energy, he was told his cancer was so aggressive that he had to start treatment immediately. He wasn't even given the time to go home first.

'I just had to start the chemotherapy straight away,' he recalls.

Anthony Nolan collects cord blood from babies born at five hospitals: St Mary's Oxford Road and St Mary's Wythenshawe, both in Manchester; Leicester Royal Infirmary; Leicester General Hospital and King's College Hospital in London.

Separately, the NHS collects cord blood from University College London Hospital, St George's Hospital in London and Luton & Dunstable University Hospital.

'Immediately after the baby is born, and the placenta is delivered, one of our collectors takes away the placenta and umbilical cord,' says Dr Horton.

Once collected, the blood is processed and tested to ensure it is free of viruses and bacteria, and is used either for research or is frozen and banked to be used for patients in the UK or around the world. It's the same process for cord blood collected by the NHS.

Anthony Nolan works with the NHS in sharing the register and together they store about 35,000 cord blood donations in Nottingham and Bristol. Unlike blood donations, cord blood can be stored indefinitely.

Despite the amount already stored, more donations are needed, particularly to help patients from African, African-Caribbean, Asian, Chinese, Jewish, Eastern European and Mediterranean communities.

Xin Tong, 34, and Justas Budraitis, 29, donated their daughter's cord blood.

Xin was a blood donor in China and is pleased that her daughter Luna has followed suit, saying: 'She was born a life-saver'

The couple, from China and Lithuania respectively, met when they were studying at Manchester University. Now married and still living in the city, their daughter Luna was born on October 26, 2022, weighing 8lb 9oz.

'We wanted to welcome her into the world by doing something with significance,' says Xin, an e-commerce account manager.

We saw the posters up in the hospital about donating when we went for antenatal checks and decided to sign up,' Xin explains. 'It was a simple process and we were told that when we went to hospital for the birth I should tell the midwife, who would inform Anthony Nolan.

'I ended up going into hospital early as Luna had stopped growing and needed to be induced, but I was still able to donate the umbilical cord.'

Xin was a blood donor in China and is pleased that her daughter has followed suit.

'She was born a life saver she's really special,' says Justas, who is an IT consultant.

Understandably, Nilush and his wife Helen, 55, are also vocal about the importance of cord donation.

'I tell all my customers about its benefits and since then two of them have donated successfully,' Nilush says, proudly.

'I wish everyone would look into it. I don't know when the parents donated or who they are, but their decision to donate their babies' umbilical cords is why I am here today. And I want other people to have the same chance.'

Alzheimer’s study shows improved memory and mood with … – Drug Target Review

Using rodent models, the researchers emphasized the potential of newly generated neurons in adulthood to serve as therapy for addressing the functional deficits and pathology associated with Alzheimers disease.

In adult human brains, the hippocampus generates new neurons (adult-born neurons, or ABNs) throughout life, helping to maintain memories and regulate emotions. Scientists call this process adult hippocampus neurogenesis (AHN). In people with Alzheimers disease, this process is impaired, leading to reduced production of ABNs with poorer qualities. Given that Alzheimers patients often develop both cognitive symptoms (such as memory loss) and non-cognitive symptoms (such as anxiety and depression) for which AHN plays a critical role, one way to help Alzheimers patients achieve symptom relief could be to restore AHN.

Published in the journal Cell Stem Cell, scientists from University in Chapel Hill School of Medicine, US, demonstrated that stimulating a brain region called Supramammilary nucleus (SuM) located in the hypothalamus effectively enhanced adult-born neurons in the otherwise impaired Alzheimers brains of mice. After patterned stimulation of SuM, Alzheimers brains developed more ABNs with improved qualities. Importantly, activation of these SuM-modified ABNs restored both cognitive and affective deficits in Alzheimers mouse models.

It has been a longstanding question whether AHN can be sufficiently enhanced in impaired Alzheimers brains to improve brain function, said senior author Dr Juan Song. An important point to consider when addressing these questions is the low-level hippocampal neurogenesis, which becomes even lower in Alzheimers patients.

By manipulating a small number of ABNs in the Alzheimers brain, we demonstrate that ABNs can be enhanced even in the presence of Alzheimers pathology, and these enhanced ABNs are important for the restoration of behaviours and hippocampal function.

To enhance ABNs in Alzheimers brains, Song and colleagues adopted an elegant two-step ABN-enhancing strategy by first stimulating SuM using a patterned optogenetic paradigm with the goal of promoting the generation and developmental properties of ABNs, followed by stimulating the activity of SuM-enhanced ABNs using chemogenetics.

Optogenetics involves the use of light to alter the activity of brain cells expressing light-sensitive opsin genes. Chemogenetics involves the use of inert molecules to alter the activity of brain cells expressing designers receptors.

Interestingly, SuM stimulation alone or activation of ABNs without SuM stimulation failed to restore behavioural deficits in Alzheimers mice. Song said. These results suggest that multi-level enhancement of ABNs namely increasing their number, improving their developmental properties, and enhancing their activity is required to achieve their therapeutic benefits in Alzheimers brains.

When Song and colleagues further analysed the protein changes in the hippocampus of Alzheimers mice in response to activation of SuM-enhanced ABNs, the researchers found that several well-known protein pathways were activated inside cells. These pathways include the ones important for synaptic plasticity of neuronal cells that allow enhanced communication among them, as well as the ones important for phagocytosis of non-neuronal microglia that allow efficient plaque clearance.

It is striking that multi-level enhancement of ABNs through combined SuM and ABN stimulations allows such a small number of ABNs make profound functional contribution in diseased Alzheimers brains, Song said. We are eager to find out the mechanisms underlying these beneficial effects mediated by activation of SuM-enhanced ABNs on Alzheimers pathology and hippocampal function. Future efforts will be needed to develop drugs that mimic these beneficial effects mediated by activation of SuM-enhanced ABNs. Ultimately, the hope is to develop first-in-class, highly targeted therapies to treat Alzheimers and related dementia.

Biden Weaponized Health Care on Abortion, Transgender, COVID-19 – Daily Signal

FIRST ON THE DAILY SIGNALA coalition of conservative leaders and former federal government political appointees has compiled a game plan for the next conservative president to restore the Department of Health and Human Services to a focus on health care rather than forcing a leftist agenda down Americans throats.

From the COVID-19 pandemic to abortion funding and transgender mandates, HHS has twisted federal law and the pursuit of public health to marginalize people of faith and promote bureaucrats and leftist activism, warns a report edited by Roger Severino, former director of the HHS Office of Civil Rights under President Donald Trump. He argues that the next conservative president must reverse these abuses and return HHS to its proper role: the promotion of public health.

Few areas of life are more important, and more subject to abuse, than public health, Severino, vice president of Domestic Policy at The Heritage Foundation, told The Daily Signal in a statement Monday. Unfortunately, our public health agencies have replaced science and medicine with politics and ideology, and Americans now face shorter life spans as a result. Reform can only happen if entrenched special interests, from lawless bureaucratic leaders and Big Pharma, are reined in and rooted out. (The Daily Signal is The Heritage Foundations news outlet.)

Severino organized and edited a major report in the book Mandate for Leadership, compiled by the 2025 Presidential Transition Project, noting that after the COVID-19 pandemic was over, U.S. life expectancy continued to drop precipitously. A copy of the report on HHS was provided exclusively toThe Daily Signalfor this article.

The Heritage Foundation helped launch the 2025 Presidential Transition Project (also known as Project 2025) to equip a potential conservative president to govern effectively from Day One.

HHS has an outsized impact on the federal government, from its role in declaring public health emergencies to its management of Medicare and Medicaid to its $1.6 trillion annual budget. Under Presidents Joe Biden and Barack Obama, HHS has also used its power over health policy to promote abortion and transgender ideology.

Severinos team lays out five overarching goals for a conservative president intent on reshaping HHS: (1) protecting life from conception, protecting the rights of conscience of health care workers, and defending biological reality against gender identity ideology; (2) empowering patients to make their own health care choices, enabling providers to offer more options, and unleashing markets to drive down costs and improve quality; (3) promoting stable and flourishing married families instead of LGBT activism and single motherhood; (4) correcting the errors of the COVID-19 pandemic and preparing for the next health emergency; and (5) closing the revolving door between government and Big Pharma, where regulators leave government and work for companies they have regulated and pharmaceutical executives move from industry into regulatory agencies.

Severinos team breaks down the massive bureaucracy of HHS and presents specific recommendations for each branch of the behemoth agency. This article focuses on a few of the specific issues that motivate the major changes he recommends.

Many of the reports critiques and recommendations for a future HHS trace back to the departments abuses during the COVID-19 pandemic. It notes that while the HHS secretary declared a public health emergency, the threshold for what constitutes a public health emergencyhow many cases, hospitalizations, deaths, etc.was never defined.

Severinos team recommends that Congress restrict HHSs ability to declare indefinite public health emergencies, in part by establishing a set time frame for any emergency.

The report also recommends that the HHS secretary investigate, expose, and remediate any instances in which HHS violated peoples rights by colluding with Big Tech companies to silence dissent on COVID-19.

Severinos team says the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention should be broken up into two separate organizations: one dedicated to gathering scientific data and one responsible for making public health recommendationsan inescapably political function. The report notes that the CDC previously held back public health information on COVID-19 partially due to fear that the information might be misinterpreted.

CDC should report on the risks and effectiveness of all infectious disease-mitigation measures dispassionately and leave the should and must policy calls to politically accountable parties, the report suggests. Congress should ensure that CDCs legal authorities are clearly defined and limited to prevent an arbitrary and vacillating exercise of power, as the U.S. experienced during the pandemic.

Severinos report recommends that the Food and Drug Administration, not the CDC, should regulate vaccines, and calls for reforms to prevent the National Institutes of Healths inappropriate industry ties that create serious conflicts of interest.

The report notes that the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious DiseasesAnthony Faucis division of the NIHowns half of the patent for the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine, among thousands of other pharma patents. According to NIH documents, NIH Director Francis Collins, Fauci, and Faucis deputy director, Clifford Lane, all received royalty payments from pharmaceutical companies between 2009 and 2014.

The report faults NIH for funding gain-of-function viral research that may have been responsible for COVID-19.

Severinos team recommends HHS change many policies to protect unborn life and maternal health and to honor the religious convictions of Americans who object to the use of aborted baby body parts in medical research.

The CDC should fund studies into the risks and complications of abortion and require states to report abortion complications and babies born alive despite an attempted abortion, the team writes. It should prohibit research on aborted baby body parts, since such research can be easily replaced with research on adult stem cells. And it should avoid promoting abortion as health care.

The report condemns the CDCs current abortion and maternal mortality reporting systems as woefully inadequate, since states provide those statistics on a voluntary basis. Because liberal states have now become sanctuaries for abortion tourism, HHS should use every available tool, including the cutting of funds, to ensure that every state reports exactly how many abortions take place within its borders, at what gestational age of the child, for what reason, the mothers state of residence, and by what method.

Severinos team urges the FDA to reconsider its approval of chemical abortion drugs, an approval that currently faces a court challenge. The report notes that the complication rater for chemical abortion is four times higher than that of surgical abortion and that the chemical abortion drug mifepristone has been associated with 26 deaths of pregnant mothers, over 1,000 hospitalizations, and thousands more adverse events. It also calls the approval of this drug politicized and illegal from the start.

The report also calls for the FDA to loosen its restrictions on foreign-made vaccines that were not derived through or tested on aborted baby cells, reinstituting a Trump-era waiver for Japanese-made vaccines.

It urges the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services to block Planned Parenthood from receiving Medicaid funds and to redirect funds to health centers that provide real health care for women.

Severinos team urges HHS to audit the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services for compliance to the Hyde Amendment, which prevents federal funding of abortions, and to perform a full review of HHS efforts to promote abortion in the wake of the Supreme Courts overturning Roe v. Wade.

The report also urges various HHS departments to rescind ideologically motivated fearmongering guidance that the Biden administration released in the wake of the courts ruling, such as warnings about state governments targeting women for getting abortions.

Radical actors inside and outside government are promoting harmful identity politics that replaces biological sex with subjective notions of gender identity,' Severinos team warns. The report urges a potential conservative president to reverse this trend.

Bidens HHS has interpreted Section 1557 of the Affordable Care Act (also known as Obamacare), which prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in health care, to forbid discrimination on the basis of gender identity and sexual orientation as well. Severinos team urges a future HHS secretary to explicitly revoke this guidance, as HHS did under Trump.

The report says that the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services should reissue and expand upon its 2016 decision that it cannot recommend gender reassignment surgery for Medicare beneficiaries, citing the growing body of evidence that such interventions are dangerous. (Many doctors recently testified in favor of a Florida rule blocking Medicaid coverage for experimental transgender interventions.)

The report also urges HHS to withdraw guidance allowing taxpayer funds to pay for cross-sex transitions.

It faults the NIH for having been at the forefront in pushing junk gender science, and encourages the agency to fund studies into the short-term and long-term negative effects of [cross-sex] interventions, including affirmation, puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones and surgeries, and the likelihood of desistence [abandoning the desire to change ones sex] if young people are given counseling that does not include medical or social interventions.

Severinos team notes that under liberal administrations, the office of HHS that he led, the Office for Civil Rights, has amassed a poor record of devoting resources to conscience and religious freedom enforcement and is often complicit in approving or looking the other way at the administrations own attacks on religious liberty.

The report encourages a prospective conservative president to direct the Office for Civil Rights to return to the Trump-era policies that initiated robust enforcement of these conscience laws. It urges HHS to reestablish waivers for state and child welfare agencies, especially for faith-based adoption and foster care agencies, which had previously been excluded from federal programs because they were unwilling to place children with same-sex couples.

Severinos team warns that Medicare and Medicaid operate runaway entitlements that stifle medical innovation, encourage fraud, and impede cost containment, in addition to which their fiscal future is in peril.

The report urges the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services to increase Medicare beneficiaries control over their own care; reduce regulatory burdens on doctors; ensure sustainability and value for both beneficiaries and taxpayers; and reduce fraud, waste, and abuse. It favors Medicare Advantage and urges Medicare to pay the same amount for outpatient procedures that it does for inpatient hospital services. It also encourages Medicare to reform payments along the lines of intensity and value of service, as opposed to a fee-for-service model.

Severinos team warns that Medicaid has a higher percentage of improper payments than any other federal program, and encourages the program to stop covering nonmedical services like air conditioning and housing. The report says the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services should give states more flexibility to strengthen program integrity and to incentivize personal responsibility through work requirements and private insurance.

Severinos team encourages HHS to decommission the CDC and NIH Foundations, nonprofit entities whose boards are populated with pharmaceutical company executives.

Private donations to these foundationsa majority of them from pharmaceutical companiesshouldnot be permitted to influence government decisions about research funding or public health policy, the report urges.

We must shut and lock the revolving door between government and Big Pharma, it adds. Regulators should have a long cooling off period on their contracts (15 years would not be too long) that prevents them from working for companies they have regulated. Similarly, pharmaceutical company executives should be restricted from moving from industry into positions within regulatory agencies.

Severinos team recommends more changes to HHS, including a prioritization of fatherhood in the many social programs HHS controls, and the elimination of the Head Start preschool program and the NIH Office of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion.
