Osteoarthritis, one of the most common and debilitating chronic diseases, affects more than 30 million Americans, a number that is expected to increase exponentially as the population ages. Therapeutic options are limited. Current approaches start with nonpharmacological treatments such as walking aids, weight loss, and physical therapy, followed by acetaminophen and NSAIDS. Pioneers working on gene therapies for osteoarthritis and other chronic joint conditions won the prestigious OREF Award for 2024 at this year’s AAOS. One of the winners, Christopher Evans, PhD, discusses 30 years of research leading up to the founding of Genascence Corporation, which is now in clinical trials for a gene therapy for OA: https://bit.ly/3VDAh3R #medtech #osteoarthritis #chronicdisease #jointcondition #genetherapy

Cell and gene therapies (CGT), also known as “Advanced Therapy Medicinal Products” (ATMP), address diseases by directly repairing genetic defects within the body or introducing tissues or cells with new functions. These innovative therapies can correct or cure a wide range of conditions. The development and manufacture of these medicines are complex and novel, and they have only recently started gaining traction in the commercial sphere over the past decade. What sets them apart is their remarkable potential to offer permanent cures rather than temporary symptom reduction. Get an overview in the latest article by VTU experts Cornelia Haas and Birgit Krenn, which appeared in the magazine “botenstoff” of the Human.technology Styria GmbH (February 2024 issue, Precision Medicine special edition). #VTU #CellandGeneTherapy

We are honored to share that Andelyn has been selected by Armatus Bio, Inc. to accelerate manufacturing of their gene therapy treatment for Charcot-Marie-Tooth Type 1A (CMT1A), a rare genetic neurological disease associated with independence-limiting disability and risk of fatal complications that has no approved therapies today. Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 1A (CMT1A) is a type of inherited neurological disorder that affects the peripheral nerves. People with this disease experience weakness and wasting (atrophy) of the muscles of the lower legs beginning in adolescence; later they can also have hand weakness and sensory loss. CMT1A is caused by having an extra copy (a duplication) of the PMP22 gene (NIH). We are truly grateful to play an important role in directly transforming patient lives. https://lnkd.in/e3WBkyYU #GeneTherapy #RareDisease #CDMO #aav

What IF... together, we could overcome the challenges of LNP encapsulation at high mRNA concentrations? High mRNA levels are essential for therapies like protein replacement and gene therapy. At Innoforce, our advanced LNP technology delivers outstanding encapsulation efficiency, even at elevated mRNA concentrations. 💡For example, with mRNA concentrations of 2.5 mg/mL, we achieve over 97% encapsulation efficiency, keeping empty capsids below 6%. Explore how Innoforce can help you meet the challenges across a wide range of mRNA concentrations. ☞https://lnkd.in/gQRhKU-U #InnoforcePharma #PlasmidDNA #RNA #LNP #ViralVectors #CellTherapy

Gene therapy has the potential to transform the lives of individuals with haemophilia, but should it be accessible to everyone? During #EHA2024, I attended an engaging debate where experts presented compelling arguments both in favour of and against expanding access to these innovative treatments. Here are some of my key takeaways from both sides of the debate, illustrating the many factors that must be weighed when considering these cutting-edge therapies for patients. Please reach out if you would like to learn more about our insights on gene therapy in rare blood disorders.

We are quickly approaching an inflection point with respect to using cell therapies to treat #autoimmune disease. While we have increasing confidence that cell therapies will play a pivotal role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, sponsors will have to overcome significant barriers to deliver on this promise: reducing manufacturing costs, expanding treatment infrastructure, improving the risk/benefit profile, to name just a few. Curious to learn more? Check out our blog post and presentation at #ISCT2024 by Health Advances Cell and Gene Therapy practice co-leader Ned Wydysh PhD, and Jamie Pierson of Parexel.
