Most of us wish we could turn back the clock in some way, to retain or reclaim some of the benefits of youth, whether it's looking younger or regaining some element of youthful prowess. Researchers say they've discovered a way to do just that in skin cells: to reverse their age so they look and behave like cells that are 30 years younger. Read on to find out how they did itand how Dolly the sheep is involvedand what the implications could be for the future of aging.

In a study recently published in the journal eLife, researchers said they had discovered a way to reverse aging in human skin cells by 30 years. Their process, called "maturation phase transient reprogramming," refreshes older cells to partly restore their function and to renew their biological age, while maintaining the cells' specific type and function.

In their experiments, the BBC reports, the scientists rejuvenated a 53-year-old woman's skin cells so they looked and behaved like those of a 23-year-old. Their technique evolved from the technology that was used to create Dolly the cloned sheep in 2007the process used to create stem cells, in which normal cells of a specific function are erased and rebooted to become cells of any type.

The scientists subjected cells to that process, but stopped halfway through. So instead of becoming stem cellsinfant blank slates, so to speakthey became younger versions of themselves.

Although the research is only in its early stages, if the findings hold up, they could revolutionize regenerative medicinea field that aims to repair or replace cells, including old ones. Successful regenerative medicine depends on cells not just looking younger, but functioning like young cells too. The researchers found that the functionally younger skin cells they created were better able to produce collagen, and better responded to wound healing sites.

If those results can be replicated in other kinds of cells, a similar process might be able to rejuvenate aging bones, muscles, and tendons, or forestall the diseases of an aging brain, including dementia and Alzheimer's.

"This work has very exciting implications," said Wolf Reik, a molecular biologist with Altos Labs Cambridge Institute. "Eventually, we may be able to identify genes that rejuvenate without reprogramming, and specifically target those to reduce the effects of aging. This approach holds promise for valuable discoveries that could open up an amazing therapeutic horizon."

"Our results represent a big step forward in our understanding of cell reprogramming," said Dr. Diljeet Gill, a postdoctoral researcher in Reik's lab. "We have proved that cells can be rejuvenated without losing their function and that rejuvenation looks to restore some function to old cells. The fact that we also saw a reverse of aging indicators in genes associated with diseases is particularly promising for the future of this work."

These Scientists Say They've Reversed Aging in Human Cells by 30 Years - Best Life

PRINCETON, N.J., Aug. 16, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Integra LifeSciences Holdings Corporation (NASDAQ:IART), a leading global medical technology company, today announced that Dr. Richard Caruso, founder and former chairman and CEO of Integra LifeSciences passed away over the past weekend.

Dr. Richard Caruso made an impact on not only the medical technology industry, but more importantly, on the countless lives around the world who have benefited from the products and technologies that Integra LifeSciences has today, said Stuart Essig, chairman of the board at Integra LifeSciences. His vision, transformative ideas and entrepreneurial spirit have revolutionized the way surgeons treat their patients in the field of regenerative medicine.

Dr. Caruso founded Integra LifeSciences in 1989 with a vision that the human body could be enabled to regenerate many of its own damaged or diseased tissues, paving the way for a new discipline back then known as regenerative medicine. Through his vision, Integra became the first company to develop and bring to market a tissue regeneration product, Integra Dermal Regeneration Template, which was approved by the FDA in 1996 as a skin replacement system with a claim for regeneration of dermal tissue for the treatment of life-threatening burns and repair of scar contractures. That technology led to the development of DuraGen Dural Graft Matrix, for repair of the dura mater, the protective covering of the brain after cranial and spine surgery, and NeuraGen Nerve Guide, which creates a conduit for axonal growth across a severed nerve.

Dr. Caruso served as Integra's chairman from 1992 until 2011, and served as CEO from 1992 to 1997. In addition, he served on the Board of Susquehanna University and the Baum School of Art. Dr. Caruso received his B.S. degree from Susquehanna University, an M.S.B.A. degree from Bucknell University, and a Ph.D. degree from the London School of Economics, University of London. He was also the founder and director of The Uncommon Individual Foundation, a non-profit foundation that encourages individuals to form and follow their dreams of personal success and become the entrepreneurs of their personal lives.

Andre Terzic, M.D., Ph.D.

Center for Regenerative Medicine, Mayo Clinic

Andre Terzic, M.D., Ph.D.: Regenerative medicine is an exciting component of modern health care. It harnesses breakthroughs in technologies to address major unmet needs of the population, both nationally but also globally. With the successes of traditional medicine, we'll live longer. And aging has been viewed as a major triumph of humanity. At the same time, unfortunately, with aging, we are facing with a growing pandemic of so-called chronic diseases diseases that live with us throughout our lifespan, heart disease, cancer, diabetes and so on.

So regenerative medicine comes with this new ability to understand how our body can heal and to harness its innate ability, that self-ability to heal, to actually provide new solutions to these patients in need. So the Center for Regenerative Medicine at Mayo Clinic has been built to address the unmet needs of patients. It builds on our new knowledge, bringing new ways to promote the self-repair ability of our body.

There have been magic moments during these few decades that we have built the regenerative medicine field. One such moment was when we saw, for the first time, how out of a stem cell, we can create new beating heart tissue. It was a revolution for us.

We would like to bring now this knowledge that may have started in one field to build it across fields as the new science allows, essentially, for learning between fields. We need true, radical innovation to move the current knowledge into new solutions. That is where regenerative medicine has a unique role. It changes the way we treat patients.

The Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER) of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) updated its Guidance Agenda in June 2022,1which provides that the agency plans to issue 18 guidance documents in 2022, including eight guidance documents on tissues and advanced therapies. In this alert, we highlight some key considerations from three draft guidance documents on human gene therapy products that incorporate gene editing (GE) components, chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell products, and regenerative medicine therapies that can benefit biopharmaceutical developers and sponsors. Recognizing the challenges of developing such complex, multi-component biologic drug products, including unanticipated risks associated with on-target and off-target activities, these draft guidance documents describe the FDA's recommendations for preclinical and clinical testing, chemistry, manufacturing, and controls (CMC), as well as information that should be included in investigational new drug (IND) applications to ensure proper identity, potency/strength, quality, and purity of the investigational drug products. FDA recommends sponsors of such complex products to communicate with the Office of Tissues and Advanced Therapies (OTAT) in CBER early in product development before submission of an IND, to discuss the product-specific considerations in preparation for transitioning to the clinical phase.

FDA expects detailed information and data IND applications before sponsors can transition to clinical testing. We recommend biopharmaceutical developers and sponsors review the applicable FDA draft guidance documents early in their product development process to identify these needs. Work closely with both FDA regulatory counsel and intellectual property/patent counsel to ensure there is sufficient data to support an IND application, including adequate testing and quality control measures, and that CMC, preclinical, and clinical development plans are coordinated with intellectual property and patent strategies to ensure robust protection of their intellectual property and to maximize the benefits of their patents and FDA regulatory exclusivities. We also encourage interested persons to submit comments to shape the policies proposed in FDA's draft guidance documents prior to finalization.

Draft Guidance for Industry: Human Gene Therapy Products Incorporating Genome Editing2

Draft Guidance for Industry: Considerations for the Development of Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) T Cell Products3

The Business Research Company's induced pluripotent stem cell (IPSC) market research report expands on key drivers, trends, and growth opportunities in the market.

LONDON, Aug. 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ --The increasing prevalence of genetic diseases is expected to drive the induced pluripotent stem cell market in the forecast period. To reveal the pathogenesis of genetic diseases, various patient-derived iPSCs were developed. These genetic abnormality-harboring iPSCs can be repaired, and the genetically repaired iPSC can be differentiated into normal-functioning cells. In the future, these patient-derived normal cells can be used in a patient-tailored therapy to replace the damaged cells due to the disease. iPSCs for various genetic diseases have been developed, such as for certain types of Parkinson's disease, spinal muscular atrophy, lentigines, electrocardiographic abnormalities, and other genetic disorders.For instance, in the case of albinism, which is a genetic disorder, an estimated 1 in 20,000 people worldwide are born with oculocutaneous albinism. Also, nearly one million people were living with Parkinson's disease (PD) in the U.S. by 2020.

The global induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) market size is expected to grow from $ 2.43 billion in 2021 to $ 2.64 billion in 2022 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.6%. The induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) technology market is expected to reach $ 3.57 billion in 2026 at a CAGR of 7.8%.

Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells Market Overview

The induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) market consists of sales of induced pluripotent stem cells and related services. Induced pluripotent stem cells are the regenerated form of stem cells, which are produced from an existing adult cell, such as hepatocytes, fibroblasts, keratinocytes, and neurons. The various applications include academic research, drug development and discovery, toxicity screening, and regenerative medicine and are used in several sectors such as hospitals and research laboratories.

Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells Are Increasingly Being Used To Treat Type 1 Diabetes

As per the induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) market report, players in the industry are extensively developing pluripotent cells to treat type 1 diabetes. Cellular therapy has recently been started for type 1 diabetes (T1D) to replace islet cells, which are insulin-producing cells that are lost in T1D patients. These problems could be at least partially resolved by producing pancreatic islet cells from PSCs, and significant advancements have been made by imitating how the human pancreas naturally develops. Recently, two biotech companies, Semma Therapeutics and Viacyte, produced cells that were found to be capable of functional insulin secretion upon exposure to high-glucose or high-potassium stimuli.

In 2021, Fujifilm Holdings Corporation Held The Largest Market Share

Fujifilm Holdings Corporation was the largest competitor in the induced pluripotent stem cell market in 2021, with a 10.46% share of the market. FUJIFILM Cellular Dynamics's growth strategy focuses on strengthening its cell therapy business through expanding its operational capabilities. For instance, in March 2020, the company began the operation of its new cGMP-compliant-1 iPSC production at the Innovation Facility for Advanced Cell Therapy (i-FACT). The new facility is involved in manufacturing and developing induced pluripotent stem cells for therapeutic applications.

The Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell (IPSC) Market Growth Is Driven By The Rising Prevalence Of Genetic Diseases - PR Newswire

Israeli scientists have created the worlds first synthetic embryos. They used mouse stem cells to create embryos, nurtured them in an artificial womb, and grew them for 8 days roughly the equivalent of three weeks of a human pregnancy.

Their research, which was published in the journal Cell last week, is being acclaimed by scientists as a ground-breaking development. Inside the tiny mouse embryos, the researchers can see organs developing. We view the embryo as the best 3D bio printer, says Jacob Hanna, a biologist at the Weizmann Institute of Science, told MIT Technology Review. Its the best entity to make organs and proper tissue.

The mouse embryos developed beating hearts, flowing blood, intestinal tracts and cranial folds in the brain even though they were created from scratch in a Petri dish.

This experiment has huge implications, says Bernard Siegel, of the World Stem Cell Summit, a group which lobbies for regenerative medicine. One wonders what mammal could be next in line.

All going well, the next mammal is going to be homo sapiens.

Dr Hannas ambitions are immense. The ultimate goal of his start-up company, Renewal Bio, is to make humanity younger and healthier by leveraging the power of the new stem cell technology to solve ailments such as infertility, genetic diseases, and longevity.

He believes that there will be a huge market for products derived from synthetic human embryos.

Since the turn of the century, developed nations have seen a clear trend: declining birth rates and fast aging populations. With significant socioeconomic implications, this trend threatens to upend health systems, retirement programs, and workforces across the globe. At the beginning of life, this is shown by a 5-10% increase in infertility treatments by U.S. couples each year. Towards the end of life, these issues are manifesting in fast-aging populations that balloon healthcare costs. In the U.S., the aging population is driving national health expenditures to increase at a rate of 5.5% per year, and are expected to reach more than $6 trillion annually by 2027.

The vision of the company is Can we use these organized embryo entities that have early organs to get cells that can be used for transplantation? We view it as perhaps a universal starting point, Dr Hanna says.

What he has in mind is projects like rebooting the immune system for the elderly by creating blood from an embryo. Or growing a female embryo until the gonads form and the eggs can be harvested. In other words, Dr Hanna and his colleagues want to strip-mine human embryos which have been custom-made for their clients.

They also claim that their method of producing synthetic embryos creates the placenta and yolk sac surrounding the embryo. This suggests that perhaps a baby could reach full term in an artificial womb with no need for a mother at all.

But would these synthetic embryos really be human? Hanna dismisses the idea. We are not trying to make human beings. That is not what we are trying to do, he told MIT Technology Review. To call a day-40 embryo a mini-me is just not true.

However, Dr Hanna is not a philosopher. He is just a talented technician tinkering with biological structures. Whether or not it is human is not his to decide. Even though the embryo has not been conceived naturally, it might grow into a human being if it were transferred into a womb.

At the moment scientists quoted in the media are insisting that synthetic embryos are definitely not embryos. As Australian stem cell scientist Megan Munsie wrote in The Conversation: They replicate only some aspects of development, but not fully reproduce the cellular architecture and developmental potential of embryos derived after fertilisation of eggs by sperm so-called natural embryos.

But even if this is true, Dr Hannas ultimate goal seems to be to create synthetic embryos which are as close as possible to natural embryos. If they are not human initially, might they become human later on, as the field advances?

With so many unknowns, the need for regulation of this new technology is urgent. And the ones writing the law should not be the same entrepreneurs who stand to become billionaires if their dreams come true. If the brief history of stem cell science has taught us anything, it is that scientists lust for power always outruns their interest in ethics.

Phase III Clinical Stage Company Demonstrates Superior Efficacy of Proprietary Stem Cell Apoptotic Body Based Drug

ELK CITY, Idaho--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Therapeutic Solutions International announced today new data demonstrating superior effects of the Companys ApoptoCyte procedure treated JadiCell product compared to other stem cells in treating an animal model of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD).

In a series of experiments, mice were administered the enzyme elastase to mimic COPD. It was shown that untreated JadiCell stem cells, as well as stem cells from sources conventionally utilized, specifically fat and bone marrow, had some therapeutic activity including reduction of inflammation, stimulation of regenerative growth factors, and preservation of alveoli structure1. All cell types had improved therapeutic activity when processed using the ApoptoCyte procedure, with JadiCell possessing the highest activity.

In May of this year we announced and filed a patent on the ApoptoCyte procedure which involves the induction of cellular suicide in the stem cell, extraction of small vesicles called apoptotic bodies and co-administration with specific drugs such as certain histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors. Leveraging this technology, we have filed a new patent on COPD which contains the data disclosed today, said Dr. James Veltmeyer, Chief Medical Officer of the Company, and co-inventor of both patents. The demonstration that the ApoptoCyte Procedure is applicable to COPD, which is one of the major causes of death in the world, is extremely exciting.

The Company possesses IND #28508 for using non-modified JadiCells for COPD, however the clinical trial is expected to initiate following further discussions between the Company and the FDA. Additionally, the Company currently is running a Phase III clinical trial using JadiCells for treatment of advanced COVID-19 infection.

COPD represents a significant unmet medical need for which no curative approaches exist, said Timothy Dixon, President, and CEO of the Company and co-inventor of the patents. We are grateful to have a team of cellular and COPD experts who have assisted us in creating what we believe is a first in class approach to treating COPD. We hope to continue exploring the applicability of the ApoptoCyte Procedure in other therapeutics in the regenerative medicine space.

Aesthetics Biomedical Inc. Announces Issuance of its Third U.S. Patent for Biological Preserving Composition and Methods of Use for its SoME Skincare...

SEOUL, South Korea, Aug. 10, 2022 /PRNewswire/ --Panacell Biotech Co., Ltd. said that NK cells, exosomes, and brown adipose-derived stem cells are effective to treat patients with long COVID conditions, or post COVID-19 conditions, as well as those with terminal illness.

Seung-Ho Choi, CEO of Panacell Biotech

Panacell Biotech is South Korea's research institute specializing in advanced regenerative medical cell therapy using adipose-derived stem cells (ADSC).

The company announced on August 10 that it will soon conduct those cells' toxicity tests through clinical trials and laboratory animals.

Currently, in South Korea, there are guidelines for plasma treatment that administers plasma from patients who have recovered from COVID-19 to other patients. Although there already exist COVID-19 treatments, such as Paxrovid, a clear therapeutic effect has not been confirmed yet.

There are over 60 long COVID conditions, including decreased libido and hair loss.

According to the Mayo Clinic, a nonprofit American academic medical center, "A whopping one in four people aged 65 or above suffer from aftereffects of COVID-19"

The Guardian also reported that people with long COVID often experience and an "extremely broad" variety of symptoms, including less well-known side effects such as amnesia, and an inability to perform familiar movements or commands."

According to the TIME magazine said about four million people or 2.4% of the U.S. employed population have reduced ability to work because of Long COVID.

Associate Professor Gwenalle Douaud at the Nuffield Department of Clinical Neurosciences (NDCN), University of Oxford, and her team observed a "greater reduction in grey matter thickness and tissue contract in the orbitofrontal cortex and parahippocampal gyrus" and "greater changes in markers of tissue damage in regions that are functionally connected to primary olfactory cortex." While the long-term effects of COVID-19 on smell remain inconclusive, the study suggests a possible connection between brain changes by COVID-19 and memory.

However, there have been many clinical results in which the coronavirus causes inflammation in various organs, including the respiratory system, and chronic symptoms persist.

While research on a treatment for COVID-19 is underway around the world, Chinese researchers said they are researching ways to treat COVID-19 patients using stem cells.

Sun Yanrong, Deputy Director of China Biotechnology Development Center, asserted, "We are continuing to monitor the treatment using stem cells. In Wuhan, over 200 patients have already been treated with stem cells."
