Giant leap made in effective Type 1 diabetes treatment

Posted: Published on October 11th, 2014

Scientists believe they have made a giant leap forward in the quest to find an effective treatment for Type 1 diabetes. Using human embryonic stem cells as a starting point, experts have for the first time been able to produce human insulin-producing beta cells equivalent in almost every way to normally functioning beta cells in the kind of massive quantities needed for cell transplantation and pharmaceutical purposes. Doug Melton, Xander University professor at Harvard University, who led the work, said he hoped to have human transplantation trials using the cells under way within a few years. The stem cell-derived beta cells are currently undergoing trials in animal models, including non-human primates. Prof Melton, who is also co-director of the Harvard Stem Cell Institute, said the device being tested had so far protected beta cells implanted in mice from immune attack for many months. There have been previous reports of other labs deriving beta cell types from stem cells, he said. No other group has produced mature beta cells as suitable for use in patients. The biggest hurdle has been to get to glucose-sensing, insulin-secreting beta cells, and thats what our group has done. We are now just one pre-clinical step … Continue reading →

Successful stem cell treatment in mice could one day help cure type one diabetes

Posted: Published on October 11th, 2014

On Thursday important research on stem cells and type 1 diabetes, done by professor Doug Melton, was published in the journal Cell. The results of this study have both wide and very personal implications. Two decades ago, National Geographic reported, the current Harvard professor and stem cell researcher vowed to cure type 1 diabetes. His infant son had just been diagnosed with the disease. Professor Meltons efforts redoubled when, at age 14, his daughter was also diagnosed with the autoimmune disorder. With the publication of this research he may have taken a step towards helping cure this disease. According to National Geographic, Melton has created a virtually unlimited supply of the cells that are missing in people with type 1 diabetes. Type 1 diabetes, which is often diagnosed in children or young adults, affects around three million Americans. Type 1 diabetes is a chronic condition in which the pancreas produces little or no insulin, a hormone needed to allow sugar (glucose) to enter cells to produce energy, according to Mayo Clinic. This is due to the fact that the bodys immune system attacks beta cells in the pancreas, which control insulin production. Professor Melton, along with a whole host of … Continue reading →

Firm acquires rights to spider-venom drug

Posted: Published on October 10th, 2014

Akashi Therapeutics Inc., a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company, has acquired the rights to a drug that UB scientists have begun developing for Duchenne muscular dystrophy, a common, fatal genetic disease affecting young boys. The potential therapy is called AT-300. It is a modified form of a small protein UB researchers first discovered in the venom of the Chilean rose tarantula. AT-300 promises to slow the muscle deterioration that characterizes muscular dystrophy. In patients with dystrophy, genetic mutations weaken the membrane of muscle cells, enabling large amounts of calcium to infiltrate the cells. This sets off a chain reaction that leads to muscle degeneration. AT-300 has been shown, in laboratory studies, to stop the dangerous calcium influx by keeping pores called mechanosensitive ion channels shut when the muscle cells are stretched, says UB scientist Frederick Sachs, who led the research. The protein also holds promise for preventing cardiac failure, one of the most common causes of death in dystrophic boys, he adds. Akashi Therapeutics will fund further development of AT-300. The company is licensing the rights to the protein from Tonus Therapeutics, a UB spinoff Sachs co-founded with colleagues and a Western New York stockbroker whose grandson has Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

By - Associated Press - Friday, October 10, 2014 HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C. (AP) - The 6-year-old girl whose family helped get a law passed in South Carolina allowing people suffering from severe epilepsy to use oil derived from marijuana to control their seizures has received her first dose. Jill Swing said she saw instant improvement last week after her daughter took cannabidiol, which is also known as CBD oil. Before the treatment, Swing says her daughter was having more than 100 seizures during a 45-minute therapy session. After receiving CBD oil, she had 19 seizures during a similar session. Also, she wont quit talking, Swing told The Island Packet of Hilton Head (http://bit.ly/Zih5Zu). Its been delightful. She was nonverbal, but shes saying more words now. Shes a chatterbox, Swing said. Swing said she will gradually begin increasing her daughters dose as long as she continues to respond well to it. In November, the family will fly to Massachusetts to participate in a study that will give them better access to CBD oil. One of the lawmakers that helped get the bill passed that allowed Mary Louise to get her treatment said he will file a bill next session to … Continue reading →
