$150 Million Gift Takes Stem Cell Research to New Heights – University of California San Diego

From left, T. Denny Sanford, Catriona Jamieson, MD, PhD, and Chancellor Pradeep K. Khosla celebrate the establishment of the UC San Diego Sanford Stem Cell Institute, made possible by a historic gift from Sanford.

Noted businessman and philanthropist T. Denny Sanford has committed $150 million in new funding to expand and, in some ways, quite literally launch stem cell research and regenerative medicine at University of California San Diego into new spaces and endeavors.

The gift will fund the new UC San Diego Sanford Stem Cell Institute and builds upon a $100 million gift in 2013 from Sanford that boldly established UC San Diego as a leader in developing and delivering the therapeutic promise of human stem cells special cells with the ability to develop into many different cell types and which, when modified and repurposed, have the potential to treat, remedy or cure a vast array of conditions and diseases.

Dennys previous generosity spurred discoveries in stem cell research and medicine at UC San Diego that are already benefiting countless patients around the world, said Chancellor Pradeep K. Khosla. His most recent gift adds to our portfolio of stem cell research conducted in Earths orbit that will help us better understand the progression of cancer cells and aging.

Sanfords gift to establish the Sanford Stem Cell Institute is the largest single gift to UC San Diego. This investment enables the team to dream beyond what is possible, said Sanford. The sky is no longer the limit.

In addition to his investment to create the Sanford Stem Cell Clinical Center at UC San Diego Health in 2013, Sanford established the T. Denny Sanford Institute for Empathy and Compassion in 2019, which focuses on research into the neurological basis of compassion, with application toward developing compassion and empathy-focused training for future generations of medical professionals. He also recently made a $5 million gift to support the Epstein Family Alzheimers Research Collaboration, a partnership between UC San Diego and the University of Southern California to spark new collaborative efforts to discover effective therapies for Alzheimers disease.

Sanford was also honorary co-chair of the Campaign for UC San Diego, which concluded in June 2022 having raised more than $3 billion exceeding its initial $2 billion goal. He was honored as a recipient of the 2014 Chancellors Medal, one of the universitys highest honors, in recognition of his exceptional service in support of the campus mission.

The new UC San Diego Sanford Stem Cell Institute, under the direction of Catriona Jamieson, MD, PhD, Koman Family Presidential Endowed Chair in Cancer Research in the UC San Diego School of Medicine, will continue three existing stem cell programs at UC San Diego with three new programs.

The new programs to be established with Sanfords gift include:

Existing stem cell programs at UC San Diego in the Sanford Stem Cell Institute include:

We are thrilled to announce the establishment of the UC San Diego Sanford Stem Cell Institute with Denny Sanfords generous support, said Jamieson. This will allow us to keep pace with the growing need for regenerative and stem-cell based therapies and accelerate translational stem cell research and discoveries that will transform human health for years to come.

With three new programs established as part of the Sanford Stem Cell Institute, a key focus of the institute will be leveraging space as a new frontier for stem cell science. Exposure to radiation and microgravity in low-Earth orbit can simulate and speed up aging in stem cells, as well as their transformation into cancer cells. Space-related research may have applications that create better treatments for various cancers and diseases on earth, including blood cancers, as well as neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimers and Parkinsons.

To fuel sustained research and education in this promising area, Sanfords gift will establish the Sanford Stem Cell Institute STELLAR Endowed Chair in Regenerative Medicine, the Sanford Stem Cell Institute Endowed STELLAR Exploration Faculty Scholars and Fellows Fund, and the Sanford Stem Cell Institute STELLAR Exploration Discovery Fund.

UC San Diego already has expanded its research capacity in stem cell science to space efforts that will be further amplified with the recent gift.

In late 2021, UC San Diego worked with NASA, Space Tango and the JM Foundation to launch stem cells into space aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket to study stress-induced aging and how stem cells and their progeny transform into pre-cancer and cancer stem cells associated with leukemia and other blood cancers.

Allyson Muotri, PhD, with human organoid samples

In 2019, Alysson Muotri, PhD, professor of pediatrics and cellular and molecular medicine, and colleagues sent a payload of stem cell-derived human brain organoids to the International Space Station (ISS) orbiting almost 250 miles above Earth to study how these masses of cells organize into the beginnings of a functional brain in microgravity. The first-ever project of its type was dedicated to Sanford, a longtime supporter of Muotris work and others.

When I was designing these experiments, I realized how innovative and cutting edge they were, said Muotri. I thought Denny would be proud of this project, and that I should dedicate this first mission to him. Denny has been a cheerleader for the stem cell community. He is pushing all of us to speed discovery and translate it to help millions of people who suffer from different conditions that could be treated with stem cell-based therapies.

Since its inception in 2013, the Sanford Stem Cell Clinical Center at UC San Diego has yielded a three-fold return on investment by obtaining more than $312 million in funding, including $253.6 million in grants, $15.8 million in clinical trial contracts, $2.7 million in Advanced Cell Therapy Lab (ACTL) service charges and more than $40.2 million in philanthropy all with the goal of discovering new treatments to benefit patients.

Key successes include new pharmaceutical treatments Fedratinib, which was approved by the FDA for the treatment of myelofibrosis in 2019, and Glasdegib, FDA approved for acute myeloid leukemia in 2018.

Meanwhile, clinical trials are ongoing for Cirmtuzumab, a monoclonal antibody-based drug developed by Thomas Kipps, MD, PhD, Distinguished Professor of Medicine and deputy director of research at Moores Cancer Center at UC San Diego Health, and colleagues. Cirmtuzumab targets cancer stem cells and is being tested, alone and in combination with other drugs, to treat chronic lymphocytic leukemia and other blood cancers.

Stem cell research at UC San Diego has been a substantial beneficiary of the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM), the states stem cell agency, created in 2004 with the approval of Proposition 71. UC San Diego researchers have garnered 116 awards totaling more than $227 million. Cirmtuzumab is named as a nod to CIRM and its support. In 2020, California voters passed Proposition 14 to continue CIRM operations and funding.

IMAC Holdings, Inc.

BRENTWOOD, Tenn., Sept. 09, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- IMAC Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: BACK) (IMAC or the Company), today announces it has completed the third cohort of its Phase 1 clinical trial for its investigational compound utilizing umbilical cord-derived allogenic mesenchymal stem cells for the treatment of bradykinesia due to Parkinsons disease.

The third cohort consists of five patients with bradykinesia due to Parkinsons disease receiving an intravenous infusion of a high concentration stem cell treatment. The third and final cohort of the Phase 1 clinical trial was completed on Tuesday, September 6, 2022.

About IMACs Phase 1 Clinical Trial

The Phase 1 clinical trial, consisting of a 15-patient dose escalation safety and tolerability study, is being conducted at three of IMACs clinical centers in Chesterfield, Missouri, Paducah, Kentucky, and Brentwood, Tennessee. The trial is divided into three groups: 1) five patients with bradykinesia due to Parkinsons disease received a low concentration dose, intravenous infusion of stem cells, 2) five received a medium concentration intravenous dose, 3) and five received a high concentration intravenous dose. All groups will be subsequently tracked for 12 months. IMACs medical doctors and physical therapists at the clinical sites have been trained to administer the treatment and manage the therapy. Ricardo Knight, M.D., M.B.A., who is medical director of the IMAC Regeneration Center of Chicago, is the trials principal investigator.

The Institute of Regenerative and Cellular Medicine serves as the trials independent investigational review board, while Regenerative Outcomes provides management of the study. Further details of the trial can be found at clinicaltrials.gov.

About Bradykinesia Due to Parkinsons Disease

In addition to unusually slow movements and reflexes, bradykinesia may lead to limited ability to lift arms and legs, reduced facial expressions, rigid muscle tone, a shuffling walk, and difficulty with repetitive motion tasks, self-care, and daily activities. Parkinsons disease is the typical culprit of bradykinesia, and as it progresses through its stages, a persons ability to move and respond declines.

Story continues

According to Zion Market Research, the global Parkinsons disease therapeutics market was $2.61 billion in 2018 and is expected to grow to $5.28 billion by 2025. The Parkinsons Disease Foundation estimates that nearly 10 million people are suffering from Parkinsons disease, and almost 60,000 new cases are reported annually in the U.S.

Over one million patients undergo bone repair procedures in the USA annually, with autologous bone grafting remaining the preferred treatment for bone defects. The development of therapies that exploit the osteogenic potential of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (bm-MSCs) has been limited due to limited understanding of the regulatory mechanisms of in vivo bm-MSC osteogenesis. Previous research from the group showed that the osteogenic potential of bm-MSCs is dependent on sustained proximity to endothelial cells. The goal of the present study is to elucidate the cellular and molecular mechanisms by which endothelial cells regulate the osteogenic differentiation of bm-MSCs and develop a foundation of knowledge upon which to build therapeutic strategies for bone regeneration utilizing autologous bm-MSCs.

Human induced pluripotent stem cells provide a valuable source of cells for basic research and translational applications. While there have been advances in lineage-specific differentiation of human induced pluripotent stem cells, there remains limited understanding on the impact of matrix stiffness, viscoelasticity and integrin ligand presentation on the multi-stage development of exocrine pancreatic organoids. This research aims to define the influence of matrix properties on the generation of exocrine pancreatic organoids by developing a viscoelastic dynamic double network hydrogel platform with controllable matrix mechanical properties and biochemical motifs. This will advance the application of chemically defined matrices as xeno-free artificial stem cell niches for organoid growth and tissue regeneration applications.

New Method Promises to Yield More Therapeutic T Cells – Medscape

Producing the T lymphocytes that are increasingly being used to fight cancer and other diseasesmay soon be faster and more efficient, thanks to research being conducted at the University of British Columbia, in Vancouver, Canada.

Investigators found that adding the human proteins DLL4 and VCAM1 rather than using traditional animal products during a key cellular transition phase enhanced downstream output of progenitor T cells from pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) about 80-fold. The recombinant human proteins targeted the endothelial-to-hematopoietic (EHT) phase of development. If scaled up, the new process could substantially increase the availability and affordability of personalized T-cell immunotherapy.

Dr Yale Michaels

"Our goal is to be able to take cells from human donors, genetically modify and produce them in high numbers, and then store them in the freezer for off-the-shelf medicine," study author Yale S. Michaels, DPhil, postdoctoral fellow in biomedical engineering, told Medscape Medical News. "We think our technique will be ready for trials in humans within a couple of years."

The findings were published online August 24 in Science Advances.

Chimeric antigen receptor and engineered T-cell receptor T cells have demonstrated high clinical efficacy against some cancers. They also show promise for treating infection and immunologic disorders and for preventing transplant rejection, the authors write.

But sourcing these therapeutic cells from individual donors is costly and laborious, they add. Inter-donor variability and intra-donor heterogeneity make the production and quality control of personalized T-cell therapies challenging. The efficacy rate of this type of therapy is close to 50% for some cancers, but a new batch must be created for each treatment, and the cost is about half a million dollars each round, according to the researchers. Using PSCs to create immune cells in the laboratory could facilitate the derivation of hundreds of doses from a single cell.

Differentiating PSCs specifically into hematopoietic progenitors with T-cell potential remains difficult. "How to make the right type of cells from PSCs in the lab has been really challenging," said Michaels. "Previously, shepherd, or guide, cells from mouse cell lines or cow serum were used, but these shepherd cells produce so many different factors and components that it was hard to understand the minimum signals necessary to do the required job."

Michaels and his team believed that a pathway called notch signaling, which DLL4 and VCAM1 help to activate, would be important in the development of differentiated blood cells. As it turns out, VCAM1 cooperates with DLL4 to enhance the magnitude of notch signaling during the EHT culture phase. "We set out to understand the minimal signaling requirements for generating hematopoietic progenitors with T-cell potential from human PSCs," said Michaels.

The investigators coated lab Petri dishes with the DLL4 and VCAM1 proteins and added stem cells and growth media to foster the growth of blood cells with T-cell potential. "Production became faster and more efficient. As an added advantage, without the use of animal products, manufacturing can be done in a quality-controlled way that is easy to replicate and will make it suitable for clinical use," said Michaels.

Unexpectedly, the investigators also found that VCAM1 promoted inflammatory-responsive gene expression in hematopoietic stem cells. Studies in zebrafish and mice have shown that inflammatory signals are important for the emergence of these cells, both upstream and downstream of the notch pathway, they note.

Offering an oncologist's perspective, Cassian Yee, MD, a professor of melanoma medical oncology and immunology at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, agreed that ultimately, the goal is to prescribe off-the-shelf treatment with T cells designed for a given cancer type and stage. "The method described by Michaels et al is a significant step in that direction," he told Medscape. The technique "utilizes well-defined reagents that could likely be rendered clinical-grade compatible for ex vivo manufacturing and is able to produce a diverse T-cell repertoire." Yee was not involved in the current study.

But many steps remain before that goal is reached, Yee cautioned. Among them are identifying and engineering T cells with the desired specificity, enriching and expanding them efficiently from a PSC-derived product with the desired intrinsic properties, and achieving scalability. "But I believe that ultimately, these issues are all addressable and this technology opens the door a little wider to that possibility," said Yee.

The research was funded by Notch Therapeutics, the Stem Cell Network Fueling Biotechnology Partnerships, the Canadian Institute for Health Research Foundation, and the Wellcome Leap Human Organs, Physiology, and Engineering program. Michaels is an inventor of patents relating to T-cell differentiation and consults for regenerative medicine companies, including Notch Therapeutics. Yee sits on the advisory boards of several cell therapy companies, but none are engaged in research relevant to his comments.

Indian High Commissioner attended the meeting Consul general of India Subhash C. Kain attended a meeting with the commander in chief Houshmmad of Peshmerga & Major Dr. Dana A. Ali

Stem cells therapy can be used for the treatment of injuries where surgery does not heal wounds of skin muscles, tendons, bones, the sensory part, solid organs, nervous system and other skeleton muscle and pulmonary tissues , also it will look into radiation syndromes to treat using stem cells.

Stem cell therapy has been a boon for a large number of patients and is becoming increasingly popular. It is used to treat complex diseases without any complications. Stem cell therapy will not only yield positive results in common people but army men too. The Peshmerga forces have sacrificed a lot during the war against the ISIS terrorist group in the last decade to protect their country and the entire world from terrorist threats. Unfortunately, as a result of the war, besides thousands of Peshmerga have been martyred, more than 10,000 peshmergas have been injured critically. Some of them are fully healed, while others still need to be treated. To promptly tackle the need of the soldiers, Dr Pradeep Mahajan has been invited by the Ministry of Peshmerga, Kurdistan.

Dr Pradeep Mahajan, Regenerative Medicine Researcher, StemRx Bioscience Solutions Pvt. Ltd said, It was an honor to deliver a lecture on stem cell therapy for Peshmerga forces in Kurdistan. If there is war then there are going to be injuries. I briefed them about how revolutionary stem cell therapy can be a game changer for them when it comes to untreatable diseases. I respect the army men for their courage, spirit, and love towards the country. It was a proud moment for me to deliver a lecture for them. I hope to get more such opportunities in the near future and help the army men to overcome injuries and improve their quality of life.

It is a proud moment for the Indian Community to extend the high technology to improve the recovery of a war injury.

Global Exosome Market Report 2022: Integration into Fields of Liquid Biopsy, Precision Medicine, and Regenerative Medicine Driving Growth – Yahoo…

Company Logo

Dublin, Sept. 06, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "The Global Exosome Market - Market Size, Forecast, Trials, and Trends, 2022" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

Exosome technologies have been developing rapidly in recent years and substantial growth is expected for the market as they get integrated into the fields of liquid biopsy, precision medicine, and regenerative medicine. In particular, cancer-derived exosomes influence the invasive potential of cells by regulating angiogenesis, metastasis, and immunity, making them an extremely useful source of biomarkers for use in cancer detection, diagnosis, and therapeutic selection.

The cargo contained within exosomes can offer prognostic information for a range of diseases - including cardiovascular, renal, neurodegenerative, and metabolic diseases - as well as cancer. Researchers investigating exosome biomarkers have discovered, identified, and reported the presence of hundreds of biomolecules within the lumen of exosomes. This discovery has compelled a rapid rise in exosome-related cancer biomarker research, including the use of exosomes for the detection, monitoring, and treatment of a diverse range of oncologic conditions.

Importantly, exosomes are present within a diverse range of biofluids, including serum, plasma, urine, seminal fluid, CSF, saliva, tears, and breast milk. For this reason, exosome-based diagnostics are minimally invasive, offering ease of use and speed of detection. Exosomes can also act as prognostic indicators and predictors of a patient's response to a specific course of treatment.

Exosomes are also being explored for their use as cell-free therapeutics. For example, if a patient has a disease caused by a missing or defective protein or microRNA, the patient's exosomes can be isolated, modified with the appropriate siRNA or protein, and injected back into the patient for treatment. Numerous approaches are being researched for creating drug-loaded exosomes and exosomes themselves can exert powerful effects. For example, mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) derived exosomes have the capacity to suppress inflammation, prevent scar tissue formation, and mediate a healthy immune response.

Story continues

The Era of Exosomes

For these reasons, exosomes have gone from being overlooked to rapidly gaining momentum as a novel strategy for accessing the therapeutic effects of cells without the risks and difficulties of administering cells to patients. Although exosomes were discovered more than 30 years ago, it was not until recently that the scientific community began to credit exosomes for a range of promising traits.

To date, three pharma companies (Takeda, Jazz Pharmaceuticals, and Roche Pharmaceutical Company) have signed partnership deals with exosome companies offering payment terms structured to deliver at or around $1 billion dollars. Within the past 5 years, there have been at least 7 partnership deals within the exosome industry, 8 large venture capital events, and 2 landmark acquisitions.

Today the exosome industry is witnessing:

A surging number of scientific papers investigating exosomes and their applications

Rising numbers of clinicals trials investigating exosome therapeutics and diagnostics

Swelling appetite among investors for exosome technology

An increasingly competitive IP environment

A diverse range of co-development partnerships

SANDSTONE, Minnesota (WCCO) A 19-year-old bobcat has received stem cell therapy for chronic arthritis at The Wildcat Sanctuary in Sandstone, Minnesota.

On Thursday, the sanctuary announced that the bobcat, named Baby Jenga Blue, is believed to be the first bobcat in the world to receive this type of treatment. The procedure took place at the sanctuarys veterinary hospital.

This was thanks to Dr. Valerie Johnson, a veterinarian at Michigan State University, the sanctuary said in a release. Johnson grew the stem cells in a lab at MSU.

The stem cells were grown using fatty tissue from a healthy bobcat at the sanctuary.

Once the cells were ready for transplant, they were shipped to the sanctuarys veterinarian, Dr. Joanne Kamper. Then they were injected into Baby Jengas wrist joint and through IV infusion, which will help all joints through his blood stream, the release said.

It will take six weeks or longer to know the full effects of the treatment, but the sanctuary is optimistic the treatment will provide crucial relief for the big cat.
