Send us a textWandering around Chicago in 1912 William Klann was a man on a mission. He was part of a team set up to explore ways in which they could reduce the costs of manufacturing a car to fulfil Henry Ford's vision of ‘a motor car for the great multitude'. They had already developed many of the ideas behind mass production — standardized and interchangeable parts, short task cycle work, specialist machinery — but what Klann saw while walking past the Swift Meat Packing Company's factory gave him an insight into a key piece of the puzzle.The workers were effectively disassembling meat carcasses, stripping off various joints and cuts as the animals were led past them on a moving overhead conveyor. In a classic moment of insight, he saw the possibility of reversing this process — and within a short space of time, the Ford factory boasted the world's first moving assembly line. Productivity rocketed as the new idea was implemented and refined; using the new approach Ford was able to cut the assembly time for a Model T to just 93 minutes.60 years later, and in another part of the world, Dr Govindappa Venkataswamy retired. He'd worked for many years as Head of Opthalmology in the main hospital in Madurai, India, and decided to use his expertise and new-found free time to try and help prevent blindness in rural communities in his home state of Tamil Nadu. This was not an insignificant problem — whilst the treatment itself is well-developed it comes at a price; in an Indian hospital, the cost works out to around $300, and in a country where most people, especially in rural environments, earn less than $2/day such a price tag puts treatment out of reach.In order to achieve his dream he had to search outside the conventional health sector, seeking ideas from other worlds with similar challenges. Specifically, he looked for low-cost ways of carrying out activities systematically, reproducibly, and to a high-quality standard — and eventually found inspiration in McDonald's. He saw the underlying similarities in the core processes they used and adapted their principles of assembly line manufacturing to the context of eye surgery!Developing and refining what became known as the Aravind system has meant that the average cost of a cataract operation is now $25, and over 60% of patients are treated for free. This isn't done by compromising on quality — Aravind has better performance than many Western hospitals. It has become the world's largest and most productive eye-care service group, responsible for treating over 35 million patients with its low-cost/high-quality model.What these stories have in common is that they are working on the same problem, just in a different context. This is a powerful resource in innovation — answers don't always have to be new to the world, they can also be adapted from different contexts. Recombinant innovation.It's not a new idea. Thomas Edison was an early and active exponent, seeing the possibilities in drawing on many examples of proven technology and reapplying them in different fields. His ‘invention factory' in New Jersey offered the world ‘…a minor invention every ten days, and a big one every six months or so….' and it largely succeeded.This podcast explores the theme of recombinant innovation and some strategies to help develop it as a key innovation capabilityIf you'd like to explore more innovation stories, or access a wide range of resources to help work with innovation, then please visit my website here.You can find a rich variety of cases, tools, videos, activities and other resources - as well as my innovation blog.Or subscribe to my YouTube channel here

Tirzepatide, an agonist of GLP-1 and GIP, was shown to significantly reduce body weight when used in combination with a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity in clinical trials, but it may have adverse effects, including gastrointestinal issues and a potential link to medullary thyroid cancer. Ixchiq has become the first FDA-approved chikungunya vaccine for individuals aged 18 and older at increased risk of exposure to the chikungunya virus, which is primarily transmitted by mosquitoes. Chikungunya is a global health threat with symptoms including fever, joint pain, and rash, and severe joint pain that can last for months. The vaccine, while effective, may cause severe or prolonged chikungunya-like adverse reactions, and the manufacturer, Valneva, is required to conduct a postmarketing study to assess these risks. Fruzaqla (fruquintinib) has received FDA approval for patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) who have undergone previous treatments, including various chemotherapy and targeted therapies. Fruquintinib, a kinase inhibitor of VEGFRs, demonstrated improvements in overall survival and progression-free survival in clinical trials, with consistent safety profiles. The approval was granted to Takeda, and the drug is also under review for marketing authorization in Europe. Adzynma (ADAMTS13, recombinant-krhn) has been approved by the FDA for congenital thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (cTTP), making it the first FDA-approved recombinant ADAMTS13 protein for this rare condition. cTTP results from a deficiency in ADAMTS13, leading to blood clot formation and severe bleeding episodes. Adzynma serves as prophylactic and on-demand treatment, with promising results in a phase 3 study, and its approval was granted to Takeda. Intro and outro music Garden Of Love by Pk jazz Collective

Dr. Björn Mellgård, VP and Global Program Lead of rare genetics and hematology at Takeda, is passionate about finding a cure for cTTP, congenital thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura. This ultra-rare disease, caused by an enzyme deficiency, presents in early childhood and results in life-threatening blood clots. With their investigational drug TAK-755, a recombinant enzyme, the volume is very small, and the infusion takes four to five minutes and is a replacement therapy to allow patients to avoid daily symptoms and acute episodes. Björn explains, "What happens then is that we have our coagulation system, and many people have heard about bleeding disorders, mainly probably hemophilia, where you lack certain factors which are important to make the blood clot. TTP is on the other side of the spectrum, and the deficiency we're talking about, this ADAMTS13 enzyme, is also importantly involved in blood coagulation." "But the effect is when you don't have this enzyme present. The blood has a tendency to spontaneously form blood clots in the circulation. And these blood clots then tend to lodge in critical organs such as the brain, the heart, and the kidney, and the patients then suffer symptoms based on that." "So, our drug then represents a recombinant enzyme. So, it's a recombinant protein that is produced in a laboratory. It's exactly the same as we have in our bodies. And this kind of replacement therapy has been used for a long time. And I mentioned hemophilia as an example where Takeda and also other companies have recombinant factor VIII in that case. So, the principle behind this treatment is to give the patient what they're missing. That's pretty straightforward in some sense." #Takeda #cTTP #TAK755 #RecombinantEnzyme #RareDisease Takeda.com Download the transcript here

M., Goethel, M. E., Bzymek, M., MacNiven, L. M., Murray, K. D., Settles, M. L., Froenicke, L., Trimmer, J. S. Abstract: The Neuroscience Monoclonal Antibody Sequencing Initiative (NeuroMabSeq) is a concerted effort to determine and make publicly available hybridoma-derived sequences of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) valuable to neuroscience research. Over 30 years of research and development efforts including those at the UC Davis/NIH NeuroMab Facility have resulted in the generation of a large collection of mouse mAbs validated for neuroscience research. To enhance dissemination and increase the utility of this valuable resource, we applied a high-throughput DNA sequencing approach to determine immunoglobulin heavy and light chain variable domain sequences from source hybridoma cells. The resultant set of sequences was made publicly available as searchable DNA sequence database (neuromabseq.ucdavis.edu) for sharing, analysis and use in downstream applications. We enhanced the utility, transparency, and reproducibility of the existing mAb collection by using these sequences to develop recombinant mAbs. This enabled their subsequent engineering into alternate forms with distinct utility, including alternate modes of detection in multiplexed labeling, and as miniaturized single chain variable fragments or scFvs. The NeuroMabSeq website and database and the corresponding recombinant antibody collection together serve as a public DNA sequence repository of mouse mAb heavy and light chain variable domain sequences and as an open resource for enhancing dissemination and utility of this valuable collection of validated mAbs.

In one sentence...Aging is malleable and there is a particular, mysterious protein of interest that may enable new therapies for age-related diseases such as stroke, diabetes, and obesity.Young blood in old bodies has been demonstrated in several studies to counteract some age-correlated ailments. Mark Allen, a medical doctor by training and an entrepreneur in practice, co-founded Elevian to understand and commercialize therapies using a recombinant growth differentiation factor known as GDF11, a ‘magic' protein, as referenced by the New York Times. Dr. Allen describes how his team is developing new medicines targeting the aging process, rather than the prevailing approach of most pharmaceutical products that target individual diseases. Highlighting a surprising result, if humanity was able to eradicate cancer completely, the outcome would only increase the average human lifespan by an estimated two to three years, while doubling the incidence of age-related diseases such as Alzheimer's. With its scientific foundations beginning emerging from the Harvard Stem Cell Institute, the Elevian team is rigorously exploring GDF11 and its effective use while navigating commercialization challenges. Specifically, how can an age-related therapy be reimbursable when “age” is not yet officially a disease (based on medical billing code)? We discuss with Dr. Allen about Elevian's path ahead and the strategies at work.

J., Andersen, R. C., Lilja, J. H., Larsen, A. H., Christiansen, N. R., Tappe-Theodor, A. E., Vaegter, C. B., Kuner, R., Madsen, K. L., Soerensen, A. T. Abstract: Chronic pain is estimated to affect 20% of the adult population, and the burden on individual patients and society caused by chronic pain is escalating. Current treatments, including opioids, anti-convulsants, and anti-depressants, are only moderately effective and limited by severe side effects and addiction liability. The inadequate state of current treatment, the chronic nature of particularly neuropathic pain, and the high impact on quality of life render chronic pain conditions relevant for gene therapy. Here, we describe the development of a self-assembling, bivalent peptide inhibitor of the pain-associated scaffold protein PICK1, delivered by adeno-associated viral (AAV) vectors. This strategy prevents mechanical allodynia in mouse inflammatory and neuropathic pain models and reverses neuropathic pain in advanced stages for an entire year. Pain relief was obtained by selective targeting of several relays along the somatosensory pain pathways without observed side effects. Importantly, full pain relief was also achieved by selective transduction of peripheral neurons, which is highly attractive for therapeutic intervention since it is less likely to cause intolerable side effects.

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2023.02.13.528249v1?rss=1 Authors: Jing, J., Chen, S., Wu, X., Yang, J., Liu, X., Wang, J., Wang, J., Li, Y., Zhang, P., Tang, Z. Abstract: Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is an acute cerebrovascular disease with high disability and mortality rates. Recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rtPA) is commonly applied for hematoma evacuation in minimally invasive surgery (MIS) after ICH. However, rtPA may contact directly with brain tissue during MIS procedure, which makes it necessary to discuss the safety of rtPA. We found that, in the in vivo ICH model induced by VII-type collagenase, rtPA treatment improved the neurological function of ICH mice, alleviated the pathological damage and decreased the apoptosis and autophagy level of the peri-hematoma tissue. In the in-vitro model of ICH induced by hemin, the administration of rtPA down-regulated neuronal apoptosis, autophagy, and endoplasmic reticulum stress of neurons. Transcriptome sequencing analysis showed that rtPA treatment upregulated the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway in neurons, and PI3K inhibitor (LY294002) can reverse the protective effects of rtPA in inhibiting excessive apoptosis, autophagy and ER-stress. Epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitor (AG-1487) reversed the effect of rtPA on PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway, which might indicate that the EGF domain played an important role in the activation of PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway.

Abstract: Kinesin-1, a motor protein composed of the kinesin heavy chain (KHC) and the kinesin light chain (KLC), is fundamental to cellular morphogenesis and function. A monoclonal antibody (mAb) called H2 recognizes the KHC in a broad range of species and is one of the most widely used mAbs in cytoskeletal motor research. Here, we generated vectors that expressed recombinant H2 in mammalian cells. We demonstrated that the recombinant H2 performed as well as the hybridoma-derived H2 in western blotting and immunofluorescence assays. The recombinant H2 could detect all three human KHC isotypes (KIF5A, KIF5B, and KIF5C) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)-associated KIF5A aggregates in the cell. Immunofluorescence microscopy showed that the single chain variable fragment (scFv) derived from the H2 mAb could specifically recognize KHCs in cells. In addition, we developed a chickenized anti-KHC scFv(H2), which broadens the application of H2 in immunofluorescence microscopy. Collectively, our findings validate recombinant H2 as useful for studying the function of KHCs. Copy rights belong to original authors.

Safe Jabs Thanks to Horseshoe Crabs: Making Sure Your Injection is Free of Endotoxins Allen Burgenson, Lonza's expert for all things testing, speaks to us about the dangers of endotoxin contamination and the future of non-animal testing for it. “Before testing for endotoxins in the 1940s, a physician literally had to gauge the risk to your life because of something called injection fever,” explains Allen Burgenson. Luckily, we've come a long way since then. Thanks to advanced testing methods, one can rest assured today that any sort of injection or implant is completely free of dangerous endotoxins. Currently, the predominant mode is Limulus Amebocyte Lysate (LAL) testing, in which scientists harvest the bright blue blood of American Horseshoe Crabs and use the animal's primitive immune system to look for clotting reactions that would indicate the presence of any endotoxins. The horseshoe crabs, Burgenson explains, survive the extraction unscathed and are safely returned to the waters in less than 24 hours. However, in a continual attempt to remove animals from the testing pipeline, Lonza's recombinant factor C assay known as PyroGene could eventually replace LAL testing.

R., Claxton, S., Richardson, J. C., Lignani, G., Ultanir, S. K. Abstract: Developmental and epileptic encephalopathies (DEEs) are a group of rare childhood disorders characterized by severe epilepsy and related cognitive deficits. Numerous DEE genes have been discovered thanks to advances in genomic diagnosis, yet putative molecular links between these disorders are not known. CDKL5 deficiency disorder (CDD, DEE2) is one of the most common forms of genetic epilepsy; it is caused by loss-of-function mutations in the brain-enriched kinase CDKL5. To elucidate CDKL5 function, we looked for CDKL5 substrates using a SILAC based phosphoproteomic screen. We identified the voltage-gated Ca2+ channel Cav2.3 (encoded by CACNA1E) as a novel physiological target of CDKL5 in mice and humans. Recombinant channel electrophysiology and interdisciplinary characterization of Cav2.3 phosphomutant mice revealed that the loss of Cav2.3 phosphorylation leads to channel gain-of-function via slower channel inactivation and enhanced acetylcholine-induced stimulation, resulting in increased neuronal excitability. These changes in Cav2.3 closely resemble those described for gain-of-function point-mutations in CACNA1E that cause DEE69, a disorder sharing clinical features with CDD. Our results show that these two single-gene disorders are mechanistically related. We suggest that CDD is partly a channelopathy with Cav2.3 gain-of-function, thus Cav2.3 inhibition could be therapeutic in these DEEs. Copy rights belong to original authors.

In this episode, we discuss the fundamentals and approaches to chronic management and treatment for patients with known inherited hemophilia. What is hemophilia?* As name suggests, tendency to bleed* Two types: genetic and acquiredInherited hemophilia: * Genetic: sex-linked, meaning males will express it, females will, by and large be carriers * Main ones to be worried about: Hemophilia A and Hemophilia B** Hemophilia A: deficiency in factor VIII (1:5000 men)** Hemophilia B: deficiency in factor IX (1:30,000 men)** Thousands of underlying mutations * We grade the severity of hemophilia using the factor activity levels: ** Severe: 1 bleed into the joints for patients with severe hemophilia (goal is to keep levels >1%)** In patients with moderate or mild can do intermittent dosing *Hemophilia A/Factor VIII replacement (many options; here is what we use at Rouleaux): **Recombinant factor concentrates: Advate**Plasma-derived concentrates: Humate-P* Factor IX replacement: ** Recombinant factor concentrates: BenefIX*Bypassing agents: For patients with inhibitors (to be discussed in a future episode) or can be used for Hemophilia A or B*Options:** Novoseven (activated recombinant factor VII): Activates the extrinsic pathway to bypass the need for factors VIII or IX** FEIBA (factor eight inhibitor bypassing agent): Activated prothrombin complex concentrate (FIIa, VIIa, Xa)* Emicizumab (Hemlibra): bispecific monoclonal antibody that binds factor activated IX and X → essentially doing the job of factor VIII and leads to activation of the downstream common pathway** Note that it binds activated factor IX not inactivated factor IX and this is why you won't just constantly form clots by forcing down the common pathway like you would by giving a bypassing agent***cannot be used in Hemophilia B because it relies on the presence of factor IX**** Several new therapies have been introduced in recent yearsReferences:https://www.uptodate.com/contents/hemophilia-a-and-b-routine-management-including-prophylaxis?search=hemophilia%20treatment&source=search_result&selectedTitle=2~150&usage_type=default&display_rank=2: UpToDate article on current management of Hemophilia DOI: 10.1055/s-0042-1756188: “The More Recent History of Hemophilia Treatment.” Semin Thromb Hemost. 2022.

Abstract: Retinal dystrophies of genetic origin are often associated with mutations in the genes involved in the phototransduction cascade in photoreceptors, a paradigmatic signaling pathway mediated by G protein-coupled receptors. Photoreceptor viability is strictly dependent on the levels of the second messengers cGMP and Ca2+. Here we explored the possibility of modulating the phototransduction cascade in mouse rods using direct or liposome-mediated administration of a recombinant protein crucial for regulating the interplay of the second messengers in photoreceptor outer segments. The effects of administration of the free and liposome-encapsulated human guanylate cyclase-activating protein (GCAP1) were compared in biological systems of increasing complexity (in cyto, ex vivo, and in vivo). Analysis of protein biodistribution and direct measurement of functional alteration in rod photoresponses show that the exogenous GCAP1 protein is fully incorporated into the mouse retina and photoreceptor outer segments. Furthermore, only in the presence of a point mutation associated with cone-rod dystrophy in humans p.(E111V), protein delivery induces a disease-like electrophysiological phenotype, consistent with constitutive activation of the retinal guanylate cyclase. Our study demonstrates that both direct and liposome-mediated protein delivery are powerful tools for targeting signaling cascades in neuronal cells, which could be particularly important for the treatment of autosomal dominant genetic diseases.

Yes, for exactly the right reasons, researchers in the US safely created a relatively lethal form of the coronavirus inside a lab. And also, yes — scientists did answer the question of whether a goat or a sheep would win in a fight. (NOTE: No animals were harmed for that study.)
Yes, we're still 'springing forward' and 'falling back' every year. But when it comes to human health, one of those time changes is way different than the other.

Yuning Chen discusses The “ProVir™” collection and the role of recombinant virus proteins in the development of infectious disease treatment regimes and vaccines.
Herpes zoster is a public health concern for the public, especially in subjects who are immunocompromised. The CDC–recommended recombinant zoster vaccine (RZV) is an effective way to reduce the incidence of herpes zoster, but because of the increased immunogenicity of the vaccine adjuvant, there is a concern about flares of underlying autoimmune diseases in rheumatology patients. Join Drs. Syed Raza Saurav Acharya, and Gabrielle Howard, as they discuss the safety of RZV in this patient population, a topic they, and their coauthor Debendra Pattanaik, addressed in their February 2022 Southern Medical Journal article. In this podcast, they talk about why patients with rheumatic diseases are found to be at higher risk of herpes zoster and what led them to conduct their study. Additionally, they provide evidence of the safety of RZV in subjects with rheumatologic diseases.

My AP Biology Thoughts Unit 5 HeredityWelcome to My AP Biology Thoughts podcast, my name is Victoria Villagran and I am your host for episode #101 called Unit 5 Heredity: Linked Genes. Today we will be discussing linked genes and their characteristics! Segment 1: Introduction to Linked Genes Linked Genes A form of non-mendelian inheritance Discovered by Thomas Hunt Morgan, using the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster Genes on the same chromosome, making them more likely to be inherited together If crossing over occurs, then they are no longer linked it will look like independent assortment If they are linked, they will not assort independently and the ratios of the offspring will different If there are more parental phenotypes, then it is linked If there are more recombinant then is it non-linked The recombination frequency is very small. If the genes are far apart on a chromosome, or on different chromosomes, the recombination frequency is 50%. ... If the recombination frequency is less than 50% we say the two loci are linked Recombinant and Map Units: The farther apart the genes are on the chromosome, the more likely they are to separate because of crossing over resulting in recombinant offspring Recombinant offspring generally appear in proportions related to the recombination frequency between the two genes: Calculated by dividing the number of recombinant progeny by the total number of progeny This can be used to calculate map units or how far away the genes are from each other Segment 2: More About Linked Genes Let's look at fruit flies If linkage held true, then F1 would only have the two parental phenotypes in a 1:1 ratio The genes for eye color and the genes for wing length are on the same chromosome, thus are inherited together. A cross between gray and normal with black vestigial There are more parental phenotypes with 965 and 944 than recombinant with 206 for gray and vestigial, and 185 with black normal. There is an expected 575 frequency for each genotype they are linked, so they did not assort independently and the ratios of actual offspring were different from the expected Segment 3: Connection to Heredity Linked genes and heredity, specific non-mendelian inheritance are connected Heredity or inheritance is the passing on of traits or genetic information from one generation to the the next, and linked genes are a specific way how these genes are passed on from being on the same chromosome and not independently assorted, giving more parental phenotypes. For example, the farther apart the genes are on the chromosome, the more likely they are to separate because of crossing over resulting in recombinant offspring. The location and space between genes dictate the way they will be inherited by new generations. Thank you for listening to this episode of My AP Biology Thoughts.

Qu'est-ce qu'un recombinant ? Merci d'avoir posé la question ! Dans la famille des coronavirus mutants, on commence à bien connaître les variants : britannique, brésilien, sud-africain… Maintenant, voici-venu les recombinants ! Des genres d'hybridations entre différents variants, qui ont été repérés au Royaume-Uni. Au Royaume-Uni, le consortium COG-UK séquence et analyse le génome des coronavirus qui circulent sur le territoire. Cette institution créée au début de la pandémie de Covid19 a annoncé le 17 mars 2021 avoir observé une quinzaine de “recombinants” : des coronavirus de type Sars-Cov-2, dont le code génétique mélange des morceaux du variant britannique et des morceaux de souches anciennes. Leurs observations laissent penser que ces recombinants ont été transmis d'une personne à une autre. Comment ça s'explique que des virus se mélangent comme ça ? Doit-on s'inquiéter des recombinants ? Quelle est la solution pour lutter contre ? Ecoutez la suite dans cet épisode de "Maintenant vous savez". Un podcast écrit et réalisé par Quentin Tenaud. A écouter aussi : Qu'est-ce que le VOC2020 ?
