Advanced Blood Test to Spot Alzheimer’s Before Progression to Dementia

Alzheimer’s disease is well known for its slow development over many years, which typically leads to treatment interventions only after the disease has advanced to stages where it may be nearly impossible to slow down its progression. The results of a groundbreaking study, recently published in the journal Nature Communications, have offered new hope for not only earlier diagnosis but also for potentially slowing the course of Alzheimer’s disease. A team of researchers from Aarhus University (Aarhus, Denmark) has identified a specific receptor found on immune cells that can bind and neutralize harmful “beta proteins”, which are closely linked with the development of Alzheimer’s disease. The study underscores the significant role that the peripheral immune system may play in defending the body against Alzheimer’s by preventing the build-up of these harmful proteins in the brain. This discovery paves the way for detecting the disease-related changes much earlier than current methodologies ...

Outset Medical gets FDA nod for dialysis accessory months after halting sales

Dive Brief Outset Medical received 510(k) clearance for TabloCart with prefiltration, an accessory that filters sediment and minerals out of water before it enters the company’s dialysis machines. Outset stopped distributing the accessory last year after receiving a warning letter in July 2023 from the Food and Drug Administration stating that it needed 510(k) clearance. BTIG analyst Marie Thibault wrote in a research note that the clearance is a “big win” for Outset, adding that she expects the company to now be able to work through a customer backlog. Dive Insight San Jose, California-based Outset is competing in the market for dialysis equipment. Its Tablo hemodialysis system can be used in acute or chronic care facilities and was cleared for home use in 2020. The company also makes an accessory for the system, called TabloCart, which includes wheels, storage drawers, and water prefiltration to remove sediment and minerals from supply ...

Lantern Pharma and Oregon partner to develop cancer treatment

Lantern Pharma has entered into a partnership with Oregon Therapeutics for optimising the development of the cancer drug candidate, XCE853, through an AI-driven approach. XCE853 is an inhibitor of protein disulfide isomerase (PDI). The partnership will utilise RADR AI platform of Lantern to identify biomarkers and efficacy-linked signatures of XCE853 for precision development across solid tumours. Furthermore, this alliance will identify biomarker signatures that can aid in stratifying tumours that are most responsive to the drug and facilitate in the clinical development and patient selection in the future. Oregon focuses on developing XCE853 for a range of cancer indications, including drug-resistant ovarian and pancreatic cancers, certain haematological cancers, and several paediatric cancers, such as central nervous system (CNS) cancers. The collaboration aims to harness computational tools, including machine learning and large-scale molecular analysis, to streamline the development process. The partnership will integrate and interrogate a vast array of molecular, genetic, ...

Cambridge researchers develop robotic nerve devices for neurological conditions

Neurological disorders, such as epilepsy or chronic pain, affect over three billion people worldwide Researchers at the University of Cambridge have developed small, flexible devices, combining electronics and soft robotics, to help treat a range of neurological conditions, including epilepsy and chronic pain. Published in Nature Materials, the nerve cuff implant has the ability to change shape through electrical activation, opening up a variety of avenues for new, highly targeted treatment options. Affecting more than three billion people worldwide, neurological disorders are conditions that affect the brain as well as the nerves found throughout the human body and spinal cord. Currently, the tools for interfacing peripheral nerves are outdated, bulky and carry a high risk of nerve injury, according to the University of Cambridge. “Nerves are small and highly delicate, so anytime you put something large, like an electrode, in contact with them, it represents a danger to the nerves,” ...

FTC Seeks More Information on the $16.5B Novo-Catalent Deal, Leading to Another Delay

Novo Holdings’ $16.5 billion planned acquisition of Catalent is facing another delay. Just weeks after Novo decided to resubmit its application to the FTC, the agency is seeking more information about the deal. This move has triggered a second 30-day delay in the antitrust review process.Novo Holdings’ planned acquisition of Catalent is facing another delay. Just weeks after Novo Holdings decided to resubmit its application to the Federal Trade Commission, the agency is seeking more information about the deal. The transaction was originally expected to close by the end of this year, but this timeline may not be as solid given the repeated delays in the FTC’s review process. The acquisition was announced in early February when Novo Holdings — the investment arm of the foundation that owns a controlling stake in Danish pharma giant Novo Nordisk — disclosed its plans to acquire New Jersey-based contract development manufacturing organization Catalent ...

Nova’s Xromi approved in UK and EU for vaso-occlusive complications of SCD

Nova Laboratories’ Xromi (hydroxycarbamide) has received approval from the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency and the European Commission to extend the indication for vaso-occlusive complications of sickle cell disease (SCD) to infants from nine months of age. SCD is a group of inherited red blood cell disorders that are caused by a genetic mutation that affects the production of haemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen. The regulatory decisions were based on data from the pharmacokinetic, efficacy and safety study, HUPK, which showed that Xromi is expected to work in the same way in children from nine months of age as it does in older children. Furthermore, additional data from the phase 3 BABY HUG study suggests that the benefits and safety of Xromi in children as young as nine months of age are similar to those in older children. Dr James White, deputy managing director, ...

Study reveals vitamin D-altered mouse gut bacteria provides better cancer immunity

Researchers from the Francis Crick Institute, the National Cancer Institute of the US National Institutes of Health and Aalborg University in Denmark have revealed that vitamin D encourages the growth of a type of gut bacteria in mice, which provides better cancer immunity. The study published in Science found that vitamin D increases the amount of Bacteroides fragilis, providing better immunity to cancer in mice with transplanted tumours. Cancer, including female breast, lung, bowel and prostate cancers, was responsible for more than 18 million new cases worldwide in 2020, according to Cancer Research UK. After giving mice a diet rich in vitamin D, researchers discovered they had better immune resistance to experimentally transplanted cancers and improved responses to immunotherapy treatment. Furthermore, this effect was seen when gene editing was used to remove a protein that binds to vitamin D in the blood and keep it away from tissues. Researchers found ...
