𝗝𝘂𝗹𝘆 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰, With the first wave of #Alzheimer’s drugs hitting the market, investors are keenly seeking the next big advance in #neuroscience R&D. Novo Holdings, the controlling shareholder of Novo Nordisk, has spearheaded a $100 million series C funding round for Swiss-based Asceneuron.
Asceneuron’s oral #smallmoleculedrug ASN51 targets intracellular tau, potentially revolutionizing Alzheimer's treatment, according to Novo Holdings' senior partner Naveed Siddiqi, M.D. Following promising phase 1 trials showing ASN51's uptake by the central nervous system and its impact on the OGA enzyme, Asceneuron plans to commence a phase 2 trial in the latter half of this year.
Asceneuron aims to leverage ASN51's unique mode of action and oral formulation to compete with current treatments like #Biogen and Eisai’s Leqembi and Eli Lilly and Company’s Kisunla. New investors EQT Life Sciences SV Dementia Discovery Fund (DDF), OrbiMed, and SR One Capital Management, alongside previous backers, joined the funding round.

Studying drugs' effects on organoids....
We are excited to announce a research collaboration between Axxam, a leader in Screening technologies and High Content Imaging, and Tessara Therapeutics, renowned for their expertise in creating #humanBrainOrganoids.
Together, we develop complex cellular models of co-cultured human neurons and glial cells in microplate formats for image-based analysis using High Content Screening microscopy (Opera Phenix by Revvity).
Our collaboration exemplifies the power of combining cutting-edge imaging technology with advanced organoid models to push the boundaries of neuroscience research.
🎥 Check out our latest movie, showcasing a 3D reconstruction of a brain organoid in a miniaturized format.
The first seconds provide a maximum projection overview, followed by a detailed representation of the volumetric structure of part of the organoid (left) and a magnified region with higher resolution (right). The green color highlights the β-III tubulin staining for neurites, while the red color indicates the signal from glial cells.
This cell culture system can be utilized to test the effects of drugs on human neuronal disease models, providing critical insights into neurogenesis and neuroplasticity within a organ-like context. The use of organoid systems will allow to pharmacologically interrogate yet unprecedented biology.
Stay tuned for more updates on our research and the future of drug discovery!

🔬 Excited to share the new publication "Human-Origin iPSC-Based Recellularization of Decellularized Whole Rat Livers".
🥼 Authored by Aylin Acun, PhD, Ruben Oganesyan, Maria Jaramillo, Martin L. Yarmush and Basak E. Uygun.
🚀 In order to minimize donor organ scarcity, a promising bioengineering approach is to decellularize livers that do not qualify for transplantation. This study shows that the native 3D liver microenvironment has a pivotal role to play in the development of human-origin hepatocyte-like cells with more mature characteristics.
