TiGenix: Positive Interim Safety Results of Phase IIa Rheumatoid Arthritis Study With Allogeneic Adult Stem Cells …

LEUVEN, BELGIUM and MADRID, SPAIN--(Marketwire - Dec 19, 2012) - TiGenix ( EURONEXT BRUSSELS : TIG ), the European leader in cell therapy, announced today positive interim safety results of its Phase IIa study of Cx611 in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Cx611 is an intravenously injected suspension of expanded allogeneic adult stem cells derived from human adipose (fat) tissue. The Phase IIa clinical trial is a 53-subject, multicenter, placebo-controlled study in 3 cohorts with different dosing regimens, designed to assess safety, feasibility, tolerance, and optimal dosing. The study is being conducted at 23 centers. The Company believes that this clinical trial can set the stage not only for the further development of Cx611 in RA, but also in a wide range of other autoimmune disorders.

The interim results cover the first three months of the Phase IIa's six-month follow-up, and the data are still blinded. The primary endpoint of this study is safety, and the data collected so far support the good safety profile of all three doses of Cx611. Only two patients (4%) have suffered serious adverse events and only in one case (2%) it led to discontinuation of the treatment. All other side effects were mild and transient.

"We are delighted to report that the safety profile of Cx611 appears to be excellent," said Eduardo Bravo, CEO of TiGenix. "We have recruited patients who have failed at least two biologicals. If, in addition to this promising safety data, we can demonstrate a first indication of efficacy in this difficult to treat patient population, we will have a strong rationale to move forward with this product. We are looking forward to reporting the final results of the study at the end of April 2013."

Gene find may mean new cancer drugs

A gene network has been uncovered that could unlock the door to completely new treatments for advanced prostate cancer.

The discovery shows how genes previously not linked to the disease are activated in cancers that have become resistant to hormone treatment.

Scientists identified potential new drug targets and markers that could be used to track cancer progression.

Prostate cancer is fuelled by male hormones via a protein molecule called the androgen receptor. Standard treatment includes drugs that stop androgen hormones such as testosterone acting on prostate tumours, or cut off their supply.

But in time, the drugs stop working as the cancer overcomes its dependency on external androgens. Previous studies show how the androgen receptor attaches to and switches on specific genes to drive cancer.

The new research reveals that in tumours that are resistant to hormone therapy, the receptor activates a completely different set of genes including some associated with the production of sugar and fat.

Each year up to 41,000 men in the UK are diagnosed with prostate cancer each year and around 10,700 die from the disease. Scientists at Cambridge University made the discovery after looking at tissue samples from men with prostate cancer. The findings are published in the journal Cancer Cell.

Study leader Naomi Sharma, from the Cancer Research UK Cambridge Research Institute, said: "Our understanding so far comes from studies in cells grown in the laboratory. In this sophisticated study using samples directly from patients, we've uncovered a much more complex network of cell messages.

"These messages switch on a completely different set of genes that continue to drive the disease in men for whom standard hormone treatments have stopped working.

"These important findings provide fresh targets for the development of new drugs to treat advanced stages of prostate cancer, and new 'flags' to help doctors track the progression of the disease in patients."

Global Transfection (Gene Delivery, DNA Delivery, Protein Delivery, SiRNA Delivery) Technologies (Lipofection, Calcium …

NEW YORK, Dec. 19, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Reportlinker.com announces that a new market research report is available in its catalogue:

http://www.reportlinker.com/p01057834/Global-Transfection-Gene-Delivery-DNA-Delivery-Protein-Delivery-SiRNA-Delivery-Technologies-Lipofection-Calcium-Phosphate-Electroporation-Nucleofection-Magnetofection-Gene-Gun-Viral-Market-2012--2017.html#utm_source=prnewswire&utm_medium=pr&utm_campaign=Genetically_Modified_Organism,_GMO

Transfection is an enabler technology used for many cell based research activities with applications spanning production of recombinant proteins and recombinant cell lines, gene therapy, delivery of therapeutics and also drug discovery. This research report provides a brief description on transfection technologies, its evolution, comparative analysis, market landscape analysis, competitive scenario and emerging technology and application trends.

Research in gene transfer is being performed in in vivo conditions for different therapeutic applications; there is a growing demand for new transfection technologies to address unmet needs for therapeutic delivery which is driving the transfection market.

Key Restraint:

Home brewReagents restricts sale of commercial kits

Home brew reagents are still the preferred choice of reagents for transfection by researchers all over the world. Most of the researchers prepare their own reagents from their laboratory to conduct their research. This is true for most of the reagent based transfection reactions. This allows them to reduce cost involved in purchasing commercial kits.

Transfection is an enabler technology which is used in many cell research activities, however only few cell lines are majorly used in these experiments restricting the scope of the study. Transfection in hard to transfect cells is the need of hour and it is a major challenge. There are few upcoming transfection technologies like nucleofection and magnetofection which are an off-shoot of electroporation, which have the potential to address these challenges but are currently cost prohibitive due to which the technologies may have a much slower uptake in the developing world.

OpGen Announces Partnership with University of California, Davis, to Develop High Resolution Microbial Genetic Maps in …

GAITHERSBURG, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

OpGen, Inc. today announced the company has entered into a scientific and technical partnership with the University of California, Davis, (UC Davis) in cooperation with the FDA supported 100K Genome Project to create high resolution microbial genetic maps.

The 100K Genome Project is a collaboration that was initiated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), UC Davis, and Agilent Technologies to sequence the genetic code of at least 100,000 infectious organisms and accelerate the diagnosis of foodborne illnesses. UC Davis will integrate OpGens Argus Whole Genome Mapping System into its current DNA sequencing workflow for sequence assembly and validation of the genomes.

Through the integration of OpGens Whole Genome Mapping technology, The 100K Genome Project will create a new gold standard for high-quality microbial reference genomes. These data will be used in the surveillance and management of international foodborne microbial outbreaks, and to establish a high-fidelity global reference database for microbial genomes. The 100K Genome Project will publish the genomes that are completed and validated using OpGens Whole Genome Maps to a database, providing access to the genomic maps for public health agencies throughout the world. The FDA is advocating rigorous quality control standards for this reference database whereby genomic information should be validated by two independent methods.

OpGens technology allows us to complete sequencing and provide quality control of genomes drafted by data produced using short read next-generation sequencing methods, said Bart C. Weimer, Ph.D., Professor, Department of Population and Reproduction, School of Veterinary Medicine, University of California, Davis, and Director of The 100K Pathogen Genome Project. Whole Genome Mapping provides an independent method to detect sequence variations and misassemblies, and aids us in closing the gaps. Final Whole Genome Maps will assist health agencies in outbreak management of food borne diseases which cause tremendous risk to public health.

We are pleased to be a partner in this collaboration with UC Davis and the FDA in helping to set a high-quality, validated standard for this important reference database of microbes, which pose the greatest threats to food safety and public health, said Douglas White, Chief Executive Officer of OpGen. OpGen is committed to advancing public health and providing actionable information to the healthcare community.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that each year roughly one in six Americans (or 48 million people) become sick, 128,000 are hospitalized, and 3,000 die of foodborne diseases.1 There are 31 known foodborne pathogens, including Salmonella, Listeria, and E. coli, among others.1 Many of these pathogens are tracked by public health systems that track diseases and outbreaks.1 Rapid identification and detection of these pathogens can lead to more effective control and management of microbial disease outbreaks.

Dentist in Austin | Ridge Preservation | Restoring Bone for Denture Patients – Video


Dentist in Austin | Ridge Preservation | Restoring Bone for Denture Patients
When you need to have a tooth or teeth extracted mdash;whether it be due to decay, abscess, gum disease or injury mdash;it is usually in your best interest to do so in a manner which preserves as much of your underlying jawbone as possible. From the time the teeth are removed, significant degeneration of the surrounding bone begins to take place. The amount of shrinkage is unpredictable. Many times the amount of remaining bone shrinks rapidly at first, followed by a more slowly progressing shrinking that occurs over the years afterwards. This shrinking is a natural process, but it is an undesirable result of tooth removal. You have many options to prevent the rapid initial loss of bone, and it is important that you consider them BEFORE any teeth are removed. Some of these procedures are best performed at the time the tooth is removed. To minimize the rapid shrinking of bone, a bone graft can be placed in the socket at the time of tooth removal. This type of bone graft is straightforward and produces little or no discomfort. A ridge preservation bone graft can often prevent the need for major bone grafting later on. Therefore, a ridge preservation bone graft helps to minimize the need for treatment with major bone grafting in the future. The slowly progressive shrinking that happens over time is really only prevented by replacing the missing tooth with a dental implant. The pace of this "slow" bone loss is difficult to predict and is influenced by the genetics of the patient. WHAT ...From:austinsdentistViews:0 0ratingsTime:01:12More inPeople Blogs

It is at the heart of our conception of the human individual as an autonomous end in himself. Nevertheless, free will is notoriously hard to pin down. Philosophers have denied its existence on the basis that we are determined by the laws of nature, society or history, insisting there is no evidence of free will in the iron chain of cause and effect. Theologians have argued everything happens according to the will of God, not man. And yet, when we decide we want something and act on that, it certainly seems as if we are choosing freely. Are we just kidding ourselves? Some of the most profound contemporary challenges to the idea of free will come from neuroscientists, evolutionary psychologists and biologists.

The Mind of David Pearce Part 13 - How to make biotech sound sexy?
The Fate of the Germline Genetic evolution is slow. Progress in artificial intelligence is fast. Only a handful of genes separate Homo sapiens from our hominid ancestors on the African savannah. Among our 23000-odd protein-coding genes, variance in single nucleotide polymorphisms ("SNPs") accounts for just a small percentage of phenotypic variance in intelligence as measured by what we call IQ tests. True, the tempo of human evolution is about to accelerate. As the reproductive revolution of "designer babies" gathers pace, prospective parents will pre-select alleles and allelic combinations for a new child in anticipation of their behavioural effects - a novel kind of selection pressure to replace the "blind" genetic roulette of natural selection. In time, routine embryo screening via preimplantation genetic diagnosis will be complemented by gene therapy, genetic enhancement and then true designer zygotes. In consequence, life on Earth will also become progressively happier as the hedonic treadmill is recalibrated. In the new reproductive era, hedonic set-points and intelligence alike will be ratcheted upwards in virtue of selection pressure. For what parent-to-be wants to give birth to a low-status depressive "loser"? Future parents can enjoy raising a normal transhuman supergenius who grows up to be faster than Usain Bolt, more beautiful than Marilyn Monroe, more saintly than Nelson Mandela, more creative than Shakespeare - and smarter than Einstein.
