Treatment for multiple sclerosis (MS) is an evolving area and one in which new therapeutic approaches are rapidly advancing. Led by Dr. Saud Sadiq, the Tisch MS Research Center of New York is pursuing a Phase II clinical trial exploring the use of stem cell technology for the treatment for MS. The announcement followed positive results from an FDA-approved Phase I stem cell trial for MS. [Read more…]
Gladstone Institutes Initiates Research Collaboration With Eli Lilly for Neurodegenerative Diseases
Study will use innovative technology to focus on neurodegenerative diseases
SAN FRANCISCO, December 7, 2017 (Newswire.com) – The Gladstone Institutes announced today a new research collaboration with Eli Lilly and Company focused on neurodegenerative diseases. This multi-year, milestone-driven project will be based on a combination of innovative technologies developed at Gladstone by Steve Finkbeiner, M.D., Ph.D. His laboratory will work closely with Lilly during this collaboration.
“This collaboration has high potential to open new avenues towards effective therapies for neurodegenerative diseases,” said Gladstone President R. Sanders Williams, M.D. “Both organizations are committed to meeting this major unmet need.”
Key to the project is a robotic microscope system developed in Finkbeiner’s laboratory with funds from Gladstone, the Taube/Koret Center for Neurodegenerative Disease Research, and the ALS Association. This fully automated platform allows scientists to track thousands of individual cells for days or weeks at a time, and follow discrete cellular functions.
When coupled with neurons generated from induced pluripotent stem cells collected from patients with neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, Huntington’s disease, and ALS, this microscope becomes a powerful tool to study the cells and their responses to disease and treatments.

SanBio Granted Key Stem Cell Patent for Treatment of Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)
SanBio, a stem cell and regenerative medicine company specializing in neurological disorders, announced that it has been issued a key patent by the Australian Patent Office covering its proprietary modified stem cells, SB623, for the treatment of traumatic brain injury. Australian Patent No. 2013263417 was formally issued on September 8, 2016.
To secure its proprietary technology, SanBio filed a global patent application for it modified stem cells (SB623), doocumenting its ability to support regenerative processes in the central nervous system (CNS). The patent also documents the ability of these cells to provide therapeutic support for a range of neurological disorders, including traumatic brain injury (TBI).
Australia was the first country to grant the patent to SanBio. The company is also seeking patent protection in other regions.
According to Dr. Damien Bates, Chief Medical Officer and Head of Research at SanBio, “There are 5.3 million people living with chronic disabilities from traumatic brain injury in the United States and more than 700,000 in Australia. We hope that SanBio’s regenerative medicine, SB623, will be able to serve as a treatment option for these patients.”
