One of the key challenges in #DMD research is ensuring the availability of high-quality biospecimens for analysis. As DMD is a #raredisease, obtaining an adequate number of samples can be difficult. Furthermore, the diversity of the patient population must be considered to ensure that research findings are applicable across different ethnicities and genetic backgrounds. Historically, clinical trials and research studies have primarily included individuals of caucasian descent, leading to a lack of representation from other populations. However, recent efforts have been made to address this disparity and promote #diversityinDMD research. Initiatives such as the #DMDHumanTissueBank, established by Cooperative International Neuromuscular Research Group, aim to collect and distribute biospecimens from individuals of diverse backgrounds. Garner Bio stands at the forefront of supporting pre-clinical research into Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) by providing a diverse array of biospecimens sourced with utmost adherence to rigorous U.S. standards and protocols, including 45 CFR part 46, HIPAA, 21 CFR Part 50/56, and the Uniform Anatomical Gift Act. Through exclusive partnerships with esteemed hospitals worldwide, Garner Bio ensures access to a wide variety of biospecimens, facilitating pre-clinical trial sponsors' objectives for racial and ethnic diversity. Our commitment to excellence in compliance, partnership, and accessibility underscores our dedication to advancing DMD research and improving outcomes for patients worldwide.

Ananda Developments Plc chairman Charles Morgan described as "profound" the preclinical data generated by its lead asset in an area of cardiology with a high unmet medical need. CBD-derived MRX1, currently also undergoing Phase II trials for chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy and endometriosis, was assessed for its potential in treating cardiac fibrosis and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Research conducted by Dr Nadine Godsman and Dr Sarah Walsh at Robert Gordon University (RGU), under the guidance of Professor Cherry Wainwright, a member of Ananda’s scientific advisory board, showed promising results. The study involved male mice divided into two groups: one fed a high-fat diet with L-NAME, a substance used to induce heart stress mimicking HFpEF, and a control group on a normal diet. MRX1 or a modified version was administered orally during the last two weeks of the seven-week study.... More at #Proactive #ProactiveInvestors http://ow.ly/6cCt105ye1u

Exciting News! Our Sclerostin ELISA Assay Kit, from Biomedica Immunoassays, played a crucial role in a recent study that assessed the associations between serum and bone sclerostin levels and biomarkers of bone turnover and bone histomorphometry ! Key Findings: 🔹 Serum sclerostin levels exhibited elevation across both early and late CKD stages. 🔹 Elevated levels of sclerostin, both in circulation and within bone tissue, correlated strongly with markers of bone turnover and mineralization. 🔹 Immunofluorescence analyses revealed a fascinating interplay between sclerostin and the Wnt signaling pathway, shedding light on novel mechanistic insights. #research #sclerostin #eaglebio

I’m thrilled to finally have this study published – available with open access! 😀 We introduce a porcine model of ischemic stroke, using intracortical recordings for continuously tracking the progression of a focal infarction introduced by injection of endothelin-1 (ET-1). The purpose is to develop a model for screening of neuroprotective agents in the hyperacute phase of stroke, which would be simple to expand to a porcine preclinical model and could enhance translation into clinical studies. It is an example of how things don’t always go exactly to plan in research, especially when you try to implement a lot of new procedures in a complex study. In this study, we had some issues with ET-1 not inducing the stroke in the way we had anticipated beforehand, which made it hard to write up and publish. Even so, I believe the model has great potential given the suggested improvements, and it is certainly one aspect of my old job that I would have loved to follow up on. Even though this model represents a tiny piece of the puzzle, neuroprotective agents holds an enormous untapped potential for future stroke patients! A big thank you goes out to Winnie Jensen for taking the task of corresponding author and the requested rewriting upon herself!

🆕 A new drug shows potential benefits in the recovery of patients after a heart attack Researchers from Grup ICREC at Germans Trias i Pujol Research Institute (IGTP) and the Heart Institute of Hospital Universitari Germans Trias i Pujol (iCor) have evaluated the effects of early administration of Sacubitril/Valsartan in a preclinical porcine model of myocardial infarction and found beneficial effects in the management of this condition. 💬 Felipe Bisbal and Carolina Gálvez-Montón, lead authors of the study, say that "the effects of Sacubitril/Valsartan in the porcine model of myocardial infarction are very promising and suggest that this novel drug could substantially improve the prognosis and quality of life of patients who suffer from this event".

Can timely targeting and selective removal of elevated NETs from the blood during an acute episode of ischemic stroke, minimize necrotic cell death and tissue infarct size? The preclinical work of Pena-Martinez et. al. suggests hyperactivated NETs are strong potential targets for minimizing experimental ischemic tissue injury to many organs not just the brain.

iPSC differentiation and its role in providing patient-specific platforms for drug testing is ushering in an exciting new area of drug discovery and development. The recently enacted FDA Modernization Act 2.0 encourages alternative approaches, including using induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). Human iPSCs provide a patient-specific, precise, and screenable platform for drug testing. https://lnkd.in/esH83uh
The latest review, co-authored by Greenstone Biosciences, in the European Heart Journal, titled "Clinical trials in-a-dish for cardiovascular medicine" is now live! Cardiovascular diseases continue to be a major global health challenge, with current drug development approaches often hindered by high failure rates, particularly when transitioning from animal models to human trials. In light of the FDA Modernization Act 2.0, our review highlights the growing potential of human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) as a powerful tool in advancing cardiovascular drug discovery. The review covers key advancements in iPSC differentiation and their role in providing patient-specific platforms for drug testing. We also outline a forward-looking framework for future clinical trial design, integrating iPSCs with microphysiological systems, clinical pan-omics, and AI. These innovations have the potential to significantly enhance drug development success and reshape the future of cardiovascular healthcare.

This paper was presented at ESC Congress 2024; September 2, 2024; London, England. In this lesion-level analysis of the PACMAN-AMI trial, alirocumab treatment in addition to high-intensity statin therapy induced a more extensive atheroma burden reduction, ie, greater than that described in previous vessel-level analyses. Compared with statin therapy alone, alirocumab treatment was associated with a greater enlargement of the lesion minimum lumen area (MLA), similar negative arterial remodeling, and a more frequent reclassification of high-risk plaque phenotypes into more stable, less lipid-rich plaque phenotypes at follow-up.
