(Press-News.org) Winston-Salem, North Carolina – March 18, 2024 – The Regenerative Manufacturing Innovation Consortium (RegMIC), a leading organization focused on advancing the field of regenerative medicine, today announced its annual meeting, scheduled for May 15, 2024, at the DoubleTree by Hilton Charlotte Airport. RegMIC is an initiative from the Regenerative Medicine Development Organization (ReMDO).
This year’s meeting will convene industry leaders, researchers, and innovators to explore the latest advancements and opportunities in regenerative medicine across six key themes:
Precision Medicine, Data, Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence
Standardization and Quality Control
Next Generation Biomanufacturing
Shipping, Banking and Logistics
Training and Workforce Development
The day-long event will feature presentations from renowned experts, including Dr. Ryan Spitler (ARPA-H) and Steve Bauer (ReMDO, former FDA), alongside panel discussions led by industry veterans like Tom Alapaattikoski (Brinter), Steven Lynum (Epredia), Mark Wolf (SAS), Jana Stoudemire (Axiom Space), and Hartmut Tintrup (CellBox).
RegMIC, an industry-led organization, is made up of more than 60 entities who are focused on making the advancement of the regenerative medicine field a reality. The consortium is based on the philosophy that pooling the talents, resources and ideas of members to tackle industry challenges offers the smoothest and most rapid path to advanced manufacturing. RegMIC identifies and develops consensus on manufacturing challenges through road-mapping efforts and provides guidance on strategic funding areas.
“We look forward to bringing together this group of thought leaders from all across the country to explore the critical issues shaping the future of regenerative medicine,” said Joshua Hunsberger, PhD, Chief Technology Officer for ReMDO. “This annual meeting provides a unique platform for collaboration and knowledge sharing, ultimately accelerating the development and delivery of life-saving therapies.”

Global wildlife study during COVID-19 shows rural animals are more sensitive to human activity
2024-03-18
One of the largest studies on wildlife activity—involving more than 220 researchers, 163 mammal species and 5,000 camera traps worldwide—reveals that wild animals react differently to humans depending on where the animals live and what they eat.
Bigger herbivores—plant-eating animals like deer or moose—tend to become more active when humans are around, while meat-eaters like wolves or wolverines tend to be less active, preferring to avoid risky encounters.
Urban animals like deer or raccoons may become more active around people, as they get used to human presence and find food like garbage or plants, which they can access at night. But ...
Newly discovered link between FBXW7 mutations and EGFR signaling in colorectal cancer
2024-03-18
The Organoid group at the Hubrecht Institute have identified a new link between FBXW7 mutations and EGFR signaling activity. The FBXW7 gene is commonly mutated in colorectal cancer and such mutations have been associated with worse treatment outcome. The researchers used colon organoids and the CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing technique to investigate the consequences of multiple common FBXW7 mutations. Further understanding of the link with EGFR signaling could help improve treatment strategies for colorectal cancer. The research was published on March 14th in Proceedings of the national academies of sciences (PNAS).
Cancer is caused by the accumulation of mutations in different ...
Study eases concern at antipsychotics use in pregnancy
2024-03-18
The use of antipsychotics during pregnancy isn’t linked to childhood neurodevelopmental disorders or learning difficulties, UNSW Sydney-led study shows – giving assurance to those concerned about continuing their medications during pregnancy.
Antipsychotics – a branch of medication designed to treat schizophrenia and bipolar disorder – are important tools for mental health care management. They work by blocking the effect of dopamine, which can help reduce psychotic symptoms such as hallucinations or delusions.
These versatile ...
Peer-coaching helps socially marginalized individuals lower blood pressure
2024-03-18
For younger Black patients living in rural parts of the Southeastern United States, peer coaching is more effective than traditional clinical care in controlling high blood pressure, according to a new study led by investigators at Weill Cornell Medicine and NewYork-Presbyterian. The investigators learned that for people under age 60 who have persistently uncontrolled hypertension, the benefits of working with a peer health coach were equivalent to what would be expected from taking a low dose of blood pressure medication.
The findings were published March 18 in JAMA Internal Medicine. The randomized ...
Estimated childhood lead exposure from drinking water in Chicago
2024-03-18
About The Study: The findings of this study indicate that childhood lead exposure from drinking water is widespread in Chicago, and racial inequities are present in both testing rates and exposure levels. Machine learning may assist in preliminary screening for lead exposure, and efforts to remediate the effects of environmental racism should involve improving outreach for and access to lead testing services.
Authors: Benjamin Q. Huynh, Ph.D., of the Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg School of Public Health in Baltimore, is the corresponding author.

How DHX9 stress granules protect daughter cells from UV-induced RNA damage
2024-03-18
Mothers and daughters have a strong bond, yet do you know that connections reminiscent of this close relationship extend all the way to the cellular level? During the process of cell division, new daughter cells inherit a mix of genetic material and other molecules from their mother cells. This inheritance includes both beneficial components, which can help them for a robust start in life, and potentially harmful mutations or damaged molecules, posing significant challenges for the newly born daughter cells. How daughter cells manage and ...

Newly identified yeast could prevent fungal infections by outcompeting rivals, study suggests
2024-03-18
Researchers at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel have identified a yeast that could be used to prevent invasive candidiasis, a major cause of death in hospitalized and immunocompromised patients. The study, to be published March 18 in the Journal of Experimental Medicine (JEM), shows that the novel yeast lives harmlessly in the intestines of mice and humans and can displace the yeast responsible for candidiasis, Candida albicans.
Millions of microbial species live within or on the human body, many of them being harmless or even beneficial to human health. The microscopic yeast C. albicans is commonly found in the intestines ...
