COVID-19 Impact Analysis

The pandemic of COVID-19 has emerged in lockdown across regions, line limitations, and breakdown of transportation organizations. Furthermore, the financial vulnerability Regenerative Medicine Market is a lot higher than past flare-ups like the extreme intense respiratory condition (SARS), avian influenza, pig influenza, bird influenza, and Ebola, inferable from the rising number of contaminated individuals and the vulnerability about the finish of the crisis. With the rapid rising cases, the worldwide Regenerative Medicine refreshments market is getting influenced from multiple points of view.

The accessibility of the labor force is by all accounts disturbing the inventory network of the worldwide Regenerative Medicine drinks market as the lockdown and the spread of the infection are pushing individuals to remain inside. The presentation of the Regenerative Medicine makers and the transportation of the products are associated. If the assembling movement is stopped, transportation and, likewise, the store network additionally stops. The stacking and dumping of the items, i.e., crude materials and results (fixings), which require a ton of labor, is likewise vigorously affected because of the pandemic. From the assembling plant entryway to the stockroom or from the distribution center to the end clients, i.e., application ventures, the whole Regenerative Medicine inventory network is seriously compromised because of the episode.

TheHuman Genome Project,a large-scale international effort to determine the complete DNA sequence that defines the human body, took more than 12 years to complete and involved thousands of researchers.

Now,a similar effort is underway to map each of the trillions of cells in the human body.

The Human Cell Atlas(HCA) would be acomprehensive map of cells that has the potential to rapidly advance the understanding of human health and the diagnosis, monitoring and treatment of disease, according to Gary Bader,a computational biologist and professor at the University of Torontos Donnelly Centre for Cellular and Biomolecular Research and the department of molecular genetics in the Temerty Faculty of Medicine.

This project will likely be larger than the Human Genome Project, and it requires a massive international effort. No single individual or institute could do this on their own, he says. Its multi-disciplinary in nature, and pulls in people from genomics and technology development, basic biology, clinical research, computational biology and ethics.

We encourage participation from all countries and relevant scientific communities.

Bader, who is on the organizing committee for HCA, is helping to co-ordinatea scientific meeting of the HCA from Aug. 25 to 27. The meeting will focus on human development and pediatrics, mapping the body from conception to adolescence. Medicine by Design is a lead sponsor of the meeting, along with theChan Zuckerberg Initiativeand others.

Bader says the August meeting will bring together groups of people who are working on critical questions about cell types and states during human development.

Were aiming to deliver a highly interactive meeting that will provide plenty of opportunities for virtual face-to-face interaction in breakout discussion sessions, Bader says. A silver lining of having the meeting online instead of in-person, as was originally planned, is that there are no space restrictions. It can be open to anyone who wants to attend. Also, there are no travel costs for attendees, and we are able to offer registration free of charge.

Session topics will include: understanding cellular decision-making during development;lineage tracing; clonal evolution; tagging and its applications;and developmental origins of health outcomes over a lifespan. There will also be a session on regenerative medicine, led byGuoji GuoandJason Rock, focusing on how developmental and pediatric single cell atlas data can shed light on tissue aging and repair processes.

Regenerative medicine uses stem cells to replace diseased tissues and organs, creating therapies in which cells are the biological product. Regenerative medicine can also mean triggering stem cells that are already present in the human body to repair damaged tissues or to modulate immune responses. Increasingly, regenerative medicine researchers are using a stem-cell lens to identify critical interactions or defects that prepare the ground for disease, paving the way for new approaches to preventing disease before it starts.

There is strong evidence that well have to really understand development to live up to regenerative medicines key aims, Bader says. There are questions we dont know the answer tofor example, why do children heal better than adults? These answers are essential for researchers who are developing stem cell therapies or ways to encourage self-repair in the body.

The HCA group is mapping 14 organ systems, each organized into its own bio network. For instance, the gut, heart and kidney each have their own bio network, comprisingresearchers that focus on that specific system. Bader is part of the liver bio network.

Bader, along with the Temerty Faculty of Medicine Associate ProfessorSonya MacParlandand ProfessorIan McGilvray a scientist,and surgeon and senior scientist, respectively,at University Health Network (UHN) are part of a Medicine by Design collaborative research team that, in 2018,created the firstmap of human liver cells at the molecular level. They are currently part of the large, Medicine by Design-funded team projectstudying how to harness the livers power to regenerate.

The liver map represents the first time a human organ has been charted at the single-cell level. It illuminated the basic biology of the liver in ways that could eventually increase the success of transplant surgery and enable powerful regenerative medicine treatments for liver disease such as regenerating the liver with stem cells.

This is a tool that can be used by researchers who are developing cells in the lab. For instance, a U of T and UHN teamrecently published work that showed they can develop functional blood vessel cells found in the liver. This drew on our liver map work, which provided a benchmark for those researchers to compare their cells with adult human liver cells, says Bader. HCA continues to expand this work for example in pediatricsand it will become a fundamental resource for regenerative medicine researchers.

Medicine by Design is sponsoring the HCA meeting in August because its an opportunity to engage with the international effort on human cell mapping, which creates new scientific collaborations for the Medicine by Design community.

Moreover, the HCA informs new directions in regenerative medicine research, says Michael Sefton, executive director of Medicine by Design and aUniversity Professorin the department of chemical engineering and applied chemistry in the Faculty of Applied Science & Engineering and theInstitute of Biomedical Engineering.

This international event will connect fields and people that traditionally dont work together, says Sefton, whose lab is located at the Donnelly Centre for Cellular and Biomolecular Research. A massive collaborative undertaking is whats necessary to bring HCA to fruition, and Medicine by Design is proud to support this effort. We cant overstate how much the HCA project could advance and transform regenerative medicine.

Bader says in addition to the opportunities for scientific learning, the event could have other benefits for attendees.

One of the advantages to attending the HCA meeting is the opportunity to network and potentially find out about funding opportunities one might not be aware of otherwise. Its a great opportunity for researchers to connect beyond their local collaborations.

Funded by a $114-million grant from theCanada First Research Excellence Fund, Medicine by Design brings together more than 150 principal investigators at U of T and its partner hospitals to advance regenerative medicine discoveries.

New study shows advanced treatment (AT) for management of LEDUs among Medicare beneficiaries is associated with significant reductions in major and minor amputation, emergency department (ED) use, and hospital readmissions vs. LEDUs managed without AT (NAT)

MARIETTA, Ga., Aug. 17, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MiMedx Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: MDXG) (MIMEDX or the Company), an industry leader in utilizing amniotic tissue as a platform for regenerative medicine, today announced publication of its peer-reviewed study in the Journal of Wound Care (JWC), addressing the observed impact of Advanced Treatment (AT) using all high-cost skin substitute products in lower extremity diabetic ulcers (LEDUs) based on data from the Medicare Limited Dataset (October 1, 2015 through October 2, 2018). The study assessed outcome in patients receiving AT with all high-cost skin substitute products, as designated by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), for LEDUs versus No Advanced Treatment (NAT), and found that AT use could lead to a 42% reduction in major and minor amputations and all related costs, compared to NAT. Further, the study highlights preferable outcomes when AT follows parameters for use (FPFU), underscoring the importance of early treatment with regular intervals and well-defined treatment guidelines.

The data derived from this study are important for a number of reasons, noted Dr. David G. Armstrong, Professor of Surgery and Director of the Southwestern Academic Limb Salvage Alliance (SALSA) at the Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California. Most notably, it is the first, to our knowledge, to broadly evaluate the parameters for use and associated observed impact of these advanced treatments in the wound care space. The substantial reduction, not only in amputation, but also in hospital readmission rates and visits to the emergency room suggests that our patients may be able to live more hospital-free and activity-rich days when we focus on getting to wound closure.

Story continues

In 2018, an estimated three million Americans suffered from diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) a type of LEDU. Among patients with DFUs, more than half will develop an infection. Up to 20% of infected DFUs require major or minor amputations.

Understanding the health outcome and financial implications of different courses of treatment is essential to improving patient health and reducing cost burden to providers, patients, families, payors, and the healthcare system overall, said Dr. William Tettelbach, a lead author of the study and MIMEDX Principal Medical Officer, Medical Affairs. These data demonstrate the significant beneficial impact of AT with all high-cost skin substitute products for difficult-to-heal LEDUs, and the additional benefit of treating quickly and regularly with AT.

In addition to the physical and emotional impact on patients and caregivers, DFUs create significant economic burden, accounting for up to $4.5 billion in Medicare spending and up to $18.7 billion when the cost of infection management is included. In 2014, Medicare spending for the treatment of DFUs was an estimated $6.218.7 billion. The annual payor burden of DFU treatment ranged from $9.113.2 billion, in large part due to increased hospitalizations, home healthcare, emergency department visits, and outpatient or physician office visits.

Reducing major and minor amputations has a long-term effect on ongoing health costs, evidenced by 2010 estimates of $60,000 per patient amputation, with care costs in the year following an amputation of $44,200. The longer a DFU remains open, the greater the risk for infection, osteomyelitis, and amputation. In patients with diabetes, 85% of lower-extremity amputations are preceded by a non-healing DFU and the studys findings indicate that 42% of these amputations may be preventable.

The immediate physical and economic toll on people with diabetic lower extremity complications, including amputations, have been correlated to an increased five-year mortality rate. While these costs were not examined in this study, their inclusion could extend the economic and quality of life benefits gained by using AT.

Timothy R. Wright, MIMEDX Chief Executive Officer, commented, As a company dedicated to advancing scientific and health economic research that informs and improves patient care and outcomes, we see these analyses as providing crucial validation that advanced treatment can reduce the suffering and expenses caused by chronic LEDUs. Future research must build upon these findings and inform better treatment guidelines and reimbursement policies, so that together, we raise the standard of care for patients with LEDUs.

Medicare Data: Significant Reductions in Amputations, Emergency Visits, and Hospital Readmissions Associated with Advanced Treatment Using Skin...

Catriona Jamieson, MD, PhD, professor of medicine, Division of Hematology-Oncology, deputy director, Koman Family Presidential Endowed Chair in Cancer Research, chief, Division of Regenerative Medicine, deputy director, Sanford Stem Cell Clinical Center, co-leader, Hematologic Malignancies Program, director, Stem Cell Research, UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center, discusses the importance of treating patients with myelofibrosis at diagnosis.

Despite a lack of consensus across the field, starting patients on treatment when they present with myelofibrosis may be optimal, Jamieson says. Historically, patients diagnosed with myelofibrosis were monitored until disease progression because treatment options were limited and ineffective, Jamieson explains.

However, in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), initial treatment with TKIs at diagnosis have provided prolonged responses in most patients who can tolerate therapy, Jamieson says. Moreover, TKIs are generally well tolerated, so most patients can derive a substantial response, Jamieson adds.

The treatment of patients with myelofibrosis appears to be in-line with the story in CML, Jamieson says. However, it is important to complete the Myeloproliferative Neoplasm Symptom Assessment Form - Total Symptom Score, and understand the patients level of fibrosis, presence or absence of high-risk mutations or cytogenetics, white count, platelet, and hemoglobin levels, and transfusion-dependence status, Jamieson says. Ultimately, most patients with myelofibrosis should be treated up front when these factors are considered, Jamieson concludes.
