Key Takeaways: [:49] Co-host Ryan Piansky introduces the episode, brought to you thanks to the support of Education Partners Bristol Myers Squibb, GSK, Sanofi, Regeneron, and Takeda. Ryan introduces co-host Holly Knotowicz. [1:13] Holly introduces today's topic, Thymic Stromal Lymphopoietin (TSLP) and eosinophilic esophagitis (EOE), and today's guest, Dr. Andrew Lee, Vice President, Clinical Research at Uniquity Bio. [1:36] Dr. Lee has nearly 20 years of experience in the clinical development of new vaccines, biologics, and drugs. Holly welcomes Dr. Lee. [1:52] Dr. Lee trained in internal medicine and infectious diseases. [1:58] Dr. Lee has been fascinated by the immune system and how it can protect people against infections, what happens when immunity is damaged, as in HIV and AIDS, and how to apply that knowledge to boost immunity with vaccines to prevent infections. [2:16] Dr. Lee led the clinical development for a pediatric combination vaccine for infants and toddlers. It is approved in the U.S. and the EU. [2:29] Dr. Lee led the Phase 3 Program for a monoclonal antibody to prevent RSV, a serious infection in infants. That antibody was approved in June 2025 for use in the U.S. [2:44] In his current company, Dr. Lee leads research into approaches to counteract an overactive immune system. They're looking at anti-inflammatory approaches to diseases like asthma, EoE, and COPD. [2:58] Dr. Lee directs the ongoing Phase 2 studies that they are running in those areas. [3:28] Dr. Lee sees drug development as a chance to apply cutting-edge research to benefit people. He trained at Bellevue Hospital in New York City in the 1990s. [3:40] When Dr. Lee started as an intern, there were dedicated ICU wards for AIDS patients because many of the sickest patients were dying of AIDS and its complications. [3:52] Before the end of Dr. Lee's residency, they shut down those wards because the patients were on anti-retroviral medications and were doing so well that they were treated as outpatients. They didn't need dedicated ICUs for AIDS patients anymore. [4:09] For Dr. Lee, that was a powerful example of how pharmaceutical research and drug regimen can impact patients' lives for the better by following the science. That's what drove Dr. Lee to go in the direction of research. [4:48] Dr. Lee explains Thymic Stromal Lymphopoietin (TSLP). TSLP serves as an alarm signal for Type 2 or TH2 inflammation, a branch of the immune responses responsible for allergic responses and also immunity against parasites. [5:17] When the cells that line the GI tract and the cells that line the airways in our lungs receive an insult or an injury, they get a danger signal, then they make TSLP. [5:28] This signal activates other immune cells, like eosinophils and dendritic cells, which make other inflammatory signals or cytokines like IL-4, IL-13, and IL-5. [5:47] That cascade leads to inflammation, which is designed to protect the body in response to the danger signal, but in some diseases, when there's continued exposure to allergens or irritants, that inflammation goes from being protective to being harmful. [6:15] That continued inflammation, over the years, can lead to things like the thickened esophagus with EoE, or lungs that are less pliant and less able to expand, in respiratory diseases. [6:48] Dr. Lee says he thinks of TSLP as being a master switch for this branch of immune responses. If you turn on TSLP, that turns on a lot of steps that lead to generating an allergic type of response. [7:06] It's also the same type of immune response that can fight off parasite infections. It's the first step in a cascade of other steps generating that type of immune response. [7:30] Dr. Lee says people have natural genetic variation in the genes that incur TSLP. [7:38] Observational studies have found that some people with genetic variations that lead to higher levels of TSLP in their bodies had an increased risk for allergic inflammatory diseases like EoE, atopic dermatitis, and asthma. [8:13] Studies like the one just mentioned point to TSLP being important for increased risk of developing atopic types of diseases like EoE and others. There's been some work done in the laboratory that shows that TSLP is important for activating eosinophils. [8:38] There's accumulating evidence that TSLP activation leads to eosinophil activation, other immune cells, or white blood cells getting activated. [9:07] Like a cascade, those cells turn on T-cells and B-cells, which are like vector cells. They lead to direct responses to fight off infections, in case that's the signal that leads to the turning on TSLP. [9:48] Ryan refers to a paper published in the American Journal of Gastroenterology exploring the role of TSLP in an experimental mouse model of eosinophilic esophagitis. Ryan asks what the researchers were aiming to find. [10:00] Dr. Lee says the researchers were looking at the genetic studies we talked about, the observational studies that are beginning to link more TSLP with more risk for EoE and those types of diseases. [10:12] The other type of evidence that's accumulating is from in vitro (in glass) experiments or test tube experiments, where you take a couple of cells that you think are relevant to what's going on. [10:28] For example, you could get some esophageal cells and a couple of immune cells, and put TSLP into the mix, and you see that TSLP leads to activation of those immune cells and that leads to some effects on the esophageal cells. [10:42] Those are nice studies, but they're very simplified compared to what you can do in the body. These researchers were interested in extending those initial observations from other studies, but working in the more realistic situation of a mouse model. [11:00] You have the whole body of the mouse being involved. You can explore what TSLP is doing and model a disease that closely mimics what's happening with EoE in humans. [12:23] They recreated the situation of what seems to be happening in EoE in people. We haven't identified it specifically, but there's some sort of food allergen in patients with EoE that the immune system is set off by. [12:55] What researchers are observing in this paper is that in these mice that were treated with oxazolone, there is inflammation in the esophagus, an increase in TSLP levels, and eosinophils going into the esophageal tissues. [13:15] Dr. Lee says, that's one of the main ways we diagnose EoE; we take a biopsy of the esophagus and count how many eosinophils there are. Researchers saw similar findings. The eosinophil count in the esophageal tissues went way up in these mice. [13:34] Researchers also saw other findings in these mice that are very similar to EoE in humans, such as the esophageal cells lining the esophagus proliferating. They even saw that new blood vessels were being created in that tissue that's getting inflamed. [14:00] Dr. Lee thinks it's a very nice paper because it shows that correlation: Increase TSLP and you see these eosinophils going to the esophagus, and these changes that are very reminiscent of what we see in people with EoE. [14:51] In this paper, the mice made the TSLP, and researchers were able to measure the TSLP in the esophageal tissue. The researchers didn't introduce TSLP into the mice. The mice made the TSLP in response to being repeatedly exposed to oxazolone. [15:20] That's key to the importance of the laboratory work. The fact that the TSLP is made by the mice is important. It makes it a very realistic model for what we're seeing in people. [15:41] In science, we like to see correlation. The researchers showed a nice correlation. [15:46] When TSLP went up in these mice, and the mice were making more TSLP on their own, at the same time, they saw all these changes in the esophagus that look a lot like what EoE looks like in people. [16:01] They saw the eosinophils coming into the esophagus. They saw the inflammation go up in the esophagus. What Dr. Lee liked about this paper is that they continued the story. [16:15] The researchers took something that decreases TSLP levels, an antibody that binds to and blocks TSLP, and when they did that, they saw the TSLP levels come down to half the peak level. [16:35] Then they saw improvement in the inflammation in the esophagus. They saw that the amount of eosinophils decreased, and the multiplication of the esophageal cells went down. The number of new blood vessels went down after the TSLP was reduced. [16:53] Dr. Lee says, you see correlation. The second part is evidence for causation. When you take TSLP away, things get better. That gives us a lot of confidence that this is a real finding. It's not just observational. There is causation evidence here. [18:26] Ryan asks if cutting TSLP also help reduce other immune response cells. Dr. Lee says TSLP is the master regulator for this Type 2 inflammation. It definitely touches and influences other cells besides eosinophils. [18:44] TSLP affects dendritic cells, which are an important type of immune cell, like a coordinating cell that instructs other cells within the immune system what to do. In this paper, they looked at a lot of other effects of TSLP on the tissues of the body. [19:10] Dr. Lee says, There's a lot of research on TSLP, and one of the reasons we're excited about the promise of TSLP is that it's so far upstream; so much of the beginning, that it's affecting other cells. [19:29] Its effects could be quite broad. If we're able to successfully block TSLP, we could block a lot of different effects. [19:40] One treatment for EoE is dupilumab, which blocks IL-4 and IL-13 specifically, and that works well, but TSLP has the potential to have an even greater effect than blocking IL-4 and IL-13, since it is one step before turning on IL-4 and IL-13. [20:14] That's one of the reasons researchers are excited about the promise of blocking TSLP. There are studies ongoing of TSLP blockers in people with EoE. [20:34] Ryan asks if there are negative repercussions from blocking TSLP. Dr. Lee says in this study and in people, we are not completely blocking TSLP by any means. There will still be residual TSLP activated, even with very potent drugs. [21:01] In the study, they block TSLP about 50%‒60%. TSLP is involved in immunity against parasites. In studies with people, they make sure not to include anybody who has an active parasitic infection. A person under treatment should not be in a study. [21:27] Dr. Lee says we haven't seen any problems with parasitic infections becoming more severe, but that is a theoretical possibility, so for that reason, in studies with TSLP blockers, we generally exclude patients with known parasitic infections. [22:17] What excited Dr. Lee in this paper was that they showed that when you block TSLP in the mice, then you get real effects in their tissues. Eosinophils went away. The thickening of the basal layers in the esophagus got much better. [22:38] That kind of real effect reflected in the tissue is super exciting to see. That gives us more confidence that this could work in people, since we're seeing it in a realistic whole-body model in the mice. [23:12] Dr. Lee says there are ongoing clinical studies on TSLP blockers for EoE. His company is studying an antibody that blocks TSLP in eczema, COPD, and EoE. One of the exciting things about immunology is that it affects many different parts of the body. [23:42] EoE is associated with other immune-type disorders. There's a high percentage of patients with EoE who have other diseases. EoE coexists with asthma, atopic dermatitis, and chronic rhinitis. [24:09] It's exciting that if you figure out something that's promising for one disease that TSLP affects, it could have very broad-ranging implications for a variety of diseases. [24:22] Ryan shares his experience of his doctor talking to him about a TSLP blocker, tezepelumab, as a potential option when it's out of clinical trials. It would target something a little higher up the chain and help with some of his remaining symptoms. [24:59] Ryan is excited to hear that this research is so encouraging and how it could potentially help treat EoE, asthma, and other conditions, all at once. [25:16] Dr. Lee says that being in these later-stage studies is super exciting. If these late-stage trials are successful, the next step is to apply for regulatory approval with the various agencies around the world. [26:40] Dr. Lee shares one takeaway for listeners to remember. Think of TSLP as an alarm that turns on inflammation. He compares TSLP to turning on an alarm during a robbery. There are multiple steps designed to protect the bank and the money. [27:20] To extend that analogy, with TSLP, once you turn it on, all these other steps are going to happen. Inflammation is designed to protect the body. It's a protective response. If there's an infection, it can clear the infection. [27:38] If the infection persists, as in HIV, the immune response, which is protective and beneficial, eventually becomes damaging. It becomes dysfunctional. In EoE, if you continually eat the allergic food, the inflammation becomes damaging to the esophagus. [28:27] Long-term inflammation leads to replacing the normal esophageal tissue with fibrotic tissue, and that's why the esophagus eventually gets hardened and less able to let the food go through. [28:40] In respiratory diseases, the soft tissue of the lung gets replaced with thicker tissue, and the lung is not able to expand. [28:54] Dr. Lee says he people to think about TSLP as this master alarm switch. We hope that if you could turn off that TSLP, you could then avoid a lot of the complications that we see with chronic inflammation in these conditions. [29:14] We're hopeful that you could even take away the symptoms that you see in these diseases, make patients feel better, and with extended treatment, you could begin to reverse some of the damage resulting from inflammation. [29:32] Ryan likes that analogy and how Dr. Lee has concisely explained these complicated concepts. [29:51] Dr. Lee thanks Holly and Ryan and adds one more plea to listeners. Please consider getting involved with research. Clinical trials cannot be done without patients. We need patients to advance new treatments. [30:27] Researchers like Dr. Lee spend a lot of time thinking about how to make the studies not only informative but also fair to patients who decide to become involved. It's a lot of work and a fair amount of time commitment. [30:44] If you don't want to be in a study, you can help by being on a patient feedback panel and reviewing protocols and informed consents. Follow your interests. Think about getting involved with research, however you can. [31:06] Ryan and Holly are very grateful for the community, with so many wonderful clinicians and researchers, and so many patients who are willing to volunteer their time and their data to help researchers find better solutions going forward. [31:26] Ryan thanks Dr. Lee for coming on and putting out that call to action. It's a great reminder for listeners and the patients in the community to look for those opportunities.

Since 2010, the landscape of multiple sclerosis care has transformed to encompass a variety of medications, each having unique benefits, risks, and side effect profiles. Dr. Jonathan Howard discusses how to match treatment strength to disease severity and balance patient risk tolerance with evolving therapeutic options, from long-standing injectables to infusions and oral therapies. Dr. Howard is an Associate Professor of Neurology and Psychiatry at the NYU Grossman School of Medicine and the Director of the Neurology Service at Bellevue Hospital in New York.
Early symptoms of multiple sclerosis (MS) often present as clear, localized neurological changes lasting several days. However, many nonspecific complaints and common MRI findings can mimic MS, leading to misdiagnosis and unnecessary treatment. Dr. Jonathan Howard, an Associate Professor of Neurology and Psychiatry at the NYU Grossman School of Medicine and the Director of the Neurology Service at Bellevue Hospital, reviews hallmark symptom patterns, explains how to differentiate benign MRI changes from true disease, and underscores the importance of thorough history-taking, neurological exams, and targeted testing to ensure accurate diagnosis and optimal patient care.

Rico Simonini is an Italian-American actor and cardiologist. Rico Simonini graduated New York University with a bachelor's degree and the John Parkes History Award. As an actor he has enjoyed the opportunity to play leading roles in dozens of plays on stages in New York, Los Angeles and a few places in between. However, Rico's journey in the dramatic arts has shadowed his primary vocational pursuit which propelled him from tree-lined Brooklyn roots, to New York's Bellevue Hospital, then to San Francisco, Boston, Ann Arbor, Michigan, Chicago and eventually Los Angeles; cardiovascular medicine. Eventually after being recruited by one of Los Angeles' most prestigious medical centers, it was an inevitability that his artistic pursuits would blossom as often times his clients would recruit him and indulge his fancy for film and theater. In 2014, playwright Willard Manus chose Rico to originate the role of Frank Sinatra in “Frank and Ava” a two-hander developed at the Actors' Studio, that portrayed the iconic romance between “extraordinary individuals” facing obstacles relatable to all: impossible love and lofty dreams, the yearnings for which push us to the brink. This story, based on true events, of Sinatra's redemption and resurrection despite improbable odds in an unfriendly world (the scrutiny of the 1950's) inspired Rico to undertake a screenplay adaptation and his first feature film production premiere in 2018, with global release in early 2019. The film, “Frank and Ava” is now available on major streaming platforms.

2 NYPD Officers Shot on Lower East Side in Chase of Robbery Suspect A gunman shot two police sergeants who were trying to arrest him minutes after an armed robbery in a mahjong parlor on the Lower East Side in Manhattan on Thursday, Police Department officials said. One officer was shot in the groin, and the other was grazed by a bullet in the leg, Joseph Kenny, the chief of detectives, said at a news conference on Thursday at Bellevue Hospital, where the officers were being treated for their wounds. Both were in stable condition, said Chief Kenny, who was joined at the news conference by Mayor Eric Adams. The sergeant who was grazed will be released from the hospital on Thursday night, and the sergeant who was shot in the groin will be held overnight for observation. A man, Joshua Dorsett, 22, was taken into custody at the scene, Chief Kenny said. Around 4:15 p.m., the police responded to a 911 call regarding a man on the second floor of a building on Canal Street near Eldridge Street, Chief Kenny said. The man, whom the police later identified as Mr. Dorsett, had pulled out a gun and pointed it at several women at the mahjong parlor, a popular neighborhood spot where people gather and bet money on mahjong games, he said. Mr. Dorsett demanded that the women hand over their purses. He grabbed a number of purses, ran out of the building and fled north on foot, Chief Kenny said. Seven minutes later, police officers on Delancey Street saw Mr. Dorsett, who fit the description of the gunman.

This is the All Local update for Saturday, March 23rd, 2024.
Jane Cooke Wright (also known as "Jane Jones") (November 20, 1919 – February 19, 2013) was a pioneering cancer researcher and surgeon noted for her contributions to chemotherapy. In particular, Wright is credited with developing the technique of using human tissue culture rather than laboratory mice to test the effects of potential drugs on cancer cells. She also pioneered the use of the drug methotrexate to treat breast cancer and skin cancer (mycosis fungoids). Wright's family had a strong history of academic achievement in medicine. She was born in Manhattan, New York, to Corinne Cooke, a public school teacher, and Louis T. Wright, who was one of the first African American graduates from Harvard Medical School. He was the first African American doctor at a public hospital in New York City. As a child, Wright attended the Ethical Culture Fieldston School, then the "Ethical Culture" school and the "Fieldston School", from which she graduated in 1938. During her time at the Fieldston School, Wright was very involved in extracurricular activities. She served as the school's yearbook art editor and was named the captain of the swim team. Her favorite subjects to study were math and science. After attending the Fieldston School, Wright received a scholarship to Smith College, where she furthered her studies and continued to be very involved in extracurricular activities. She swam on the varsity swim team, discovered a passion for the German language, and lived in the school's German house for a while. Wright graduated with an art degree from Smith College in 1942.] After her time at Smith, Wright received another scholarship, to attend the New York Medical College. She graduated as a part of an accelerated three-year program at the top of her class in 1945 with the honors award. After medical school, Wright completed residencies at Bellevue Hospital (1945–46) and later at Harlem Hospital (1947–48), where she became the chief resident. In 1949 she joined her father in research at the Harlem Hospital Cancer Research Center, which he had founded, and she ultimately succeeded him as director when he died in 1952. In 1949, Dr. Wright joined her father at the Cancer Research Foundation at Harlem Hospital. During her time at the research institute, she and her father sparked an interest in chemotherapeutic agents. They were interested in making chemotherapy more accessible for everyone. In the 1940s chemotherapy was a new development, so it was not a well-known or well-practiced source for treatment because it was still in its experimental stage of drug development. Chemotherapy was considered the “last resort” and the drugs available and dosage was not very well defined. Both Jane and her father wanted to make chemotherapy a more accessible method of cancer treatment. They were the first groups to report the use of nitrogen mustard agents and folic acid antagonists as cancer treatments. Wright retired in 1985 and was appointed emerita professor at New York Medical College in 1987. In describing her pioneering research in chemotherapy, she told reporter Fern Eckman, "There's lots of fun in exploring the unknown. There's no greater thrill than in having an experiment turn out in such a way that you make a positive contribution." --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/momentsofgrace/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/momentsofgrace/support

Did you know that all people with blue eyes are related to each other? That is just one of the fascinating things we explore as I begin this episode with a look at how your eyes work and how they help you navigate your world. http://www.buzzfeed.com/acuvue/impossibly-cool-facts-you-may-not-know-about-yo#.kjpwxlkvO It often seems that great new ideas and inventions come out of the blue. However, that's not usually true. There is actually an innovation process according to Matt Ridley. Matt is a journalist, businessman and author of the book How Innovation Works: And Why It Flourishes in Freedom (https://amzn.to/2D6syWe). Matt has studied how great ideas are created, developed and accepted and he joins me to explain the process and where the next big thing is likely to come from. Doctors are human so of course they make mistakes. However, the consequences of medical mistakes can be serious and even life threatening. Some reports have said that medical errors are the third leading cause of death in America. Could that really be true? Are errors just part of the system or could most of them be prevented? Joining me to discuss this is Dr. Danielle Ofri, clinical professor of medicine at the New York University School of Medicine and practicing physician at New York's Bellevue Hospital for more than two decades. She is author of the book When We Do Harm: A Doctor Confronts Medical Error (https://amzn.to/3hVGku9). Perhaps you have noticed that the more money you have in your wallet, the more likely you are to spend it. Actually, it is a little more complicated than that. It seems what kind of money you have in your wallet is a big factor in whether you spend it or keep it. Listen as I explain how this works and how you can use this knowledge to keep more of your own money. http://www.forbes.com/video/4061993829001/ PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS!
