New Approaches to the Treatment of Relapsed or Refractory Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma – Targeted Oncology

In the United States, the most common of the aggressive non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHLs) is diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), which accounts for between 22% and 24% of newly diagnosed B-cell NHL cases.1 Although DLBCL can affect children and young adults, it is most commonly diagnosed in individuals between the ages of 65 and 74 years, with a median age at diagnosis of 66 years.2,3 Given the aggressive nature of DLBCL, patients often present with lymphadenopathy, extranodal involvement, and other constitutional symptoms thatrequire immediate treatment.1

The treatment spectrum for DLBCL has expanded significantly in recent years, particularly for patients with relapsed or refractory (R/R) disease. Mechanisms of action differ greatly among agents, reflecting the complex pathophysiology and genetic variations of the disease. This article reviews the advances in DLBCL understanding that have led to the approval of new agents andsubsequent utilization of new mechanisms.

The current standards of care for first-line DLBCL treatment include the combination chemoimmunotherapy regimen of rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin hydrochloride, vincristine sulfate, and prednisone (R-CHOP). The varying numbers of cycles and use in combination with or without radiotherapy (RT) depends upon the stage of disease at presentation.1 The addition of rituximab to CHOP was associated with a 2-year event-free survival of 57% in elderly patients in a 2002 randomized trial (LNH-98.5), which, along with results of other trials, led to the FDA approval of this combination therapy.4,5 Although durable remission can be achieved with R-CHOP in about 60% of patients, its use has resulted in poorer long-term outcomes for patients with double-hit andtriple-hit lymphomas (DHL and THL).1

In 2007, the International Harmonization Project issued guidelines on malignant lymphoma response criteria, defining relapsed disease as consisting of new lesions greater than 1.5 cm in any axis during or after the completion of therapy or a 50% or greater increase in the sum of the product of diameters of a previously involved node(s) or other lesion(s).6 The authors also defined refractory, or progressive, disease as entailing a 50% or greater increase in the size of a lymph node with a prior short-axis diameter of less than 1.0 cm to a size of 1.5 cm 1.5 cm (or a long-axis size of > 1.5 cm).6

For patients with R/R disease, high-dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT) may offer the chance for cure, but several factors may limit the utility of this approach. For example, in the treatment of patients with MYC-positive R/R DLBCL, ASCT is considered controversial because it has produced poorer outcomes in patients with DHL.1 Additionally, patients who are older or have comorbidities may be inappropriate candidates for this approach,7 and patients with disease that is unresponsive to second-line chemotherapy may have poorer prognoses (ie, poorer rates of long-term survival) and incur added toxicity from the chemotherapy.7 Even when including patients who undergo high-dose, salvage chemotherapy and subsequent ASCT, patients with R/R DLBCL have a 1-year survival rate of 28%.1 Hence, in a search for improved outcomes in the R/R setting, clinical studies have focused on DLBCL subtypes, especially in those ineligible for transplant or who have relapsed following transplant.1

Another option for patients in the relapsed setting is chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy, which entails the genetic modification of autologous T cells via cloned DNA plasmids carrying a viral recombinant vector in addition to T-cell receptor-expressing genes. CAR T-cell therapy plays an important role in the R/R DLBCL setting, with reported 2-year remissions and a complete response (CR) rate in 40% of patients and 25% DHL/THL patients.1 Other therapeutic classes that have been explored for DLBCL include phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitors, B-cell lymphoma 2 (BCL2) inhibitors, and checkpoint inhibitors.1,8-10

Given reduced survival in patients who are unresponsive to subsequent lines of therapy and the toxicity involved, a great need exists for novel agents in the R/R DLBCL setting. Recent entrants to the R/R DLBCL treatment landscape include the antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) polatuzumab vedotin-piiq, the selective inhibitor of nuclear export, selinexor, and the monoclonal antibody tafasitamab-cxix (TABLE 111-20).

Polatuzumab vedotin-piiq was approved by the FDA in 2019 and is indicated in combination with bendamustine and rituximab in adults with RR DLBCL not otherwise specified, following at least 2 previous therapies.11 It is an ADC wherein the monoclonal antibody is linked to an antimitotic agent, monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE). The ADC targets the B-cell surface protein CD79B and, after binding to the surface protein, is internalized by the cell. Lysosomal enzymes then cleave the link between the antibody and MMAE, the latter of which binds microtubules, thereby inhibiting cell division and inducing apoptosis.11

A 2020 phase 1b/2 study (NCT02257567) randomized patients with R/R DLBCL who were ineligible for ASCT to receive polatuzumab vedotin-piiq with bendamustine and rituximab (pola-BR) or bendamustine and rituximab (BR) alone.12 The phase 2 primary end point was CR; secondary end points included overall response rate (ORR) at end of treatment, superior overall response, duration of response (DOR), and progression-free survival (PFS) assessed per independent review committee (IRC).12 With a median follow-up of 22.3 months, the CR was significantly higher in the pola-BR group (40% vs 17.5% in the BR group; P = .026).12 Overall survival rate was also significantly higher in the pola-BR group (12.4 vs 4.7 months in the BR group; HR, 0.42; 95% CI, 0.24-0.75; P = .002).12 Similarly, median PFS was significantly longer at 9.5 months in the pola-BR group compared with 3.7 months in the BR group (HR, 0.36; 95% CI, 0.21-0.63; P < .001).12 Also, DOR was longer at 12.6 months in the pola-BR group vs 7.7 months in the BR group (HR, 0.47; 95% CI, 0.19-1.14).12 Finally, the pola-BR group had a 58% reduction in risk of death compared with the BR group (HR, 0.42; 95% CI, 0.24-0.75; P = .002).12 In terms of safety, grade 3/4 anemia, neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, and peripheral neuropathy occurred more frequently in the pola-BR group than in the BR group.12 Polatuzumab vedotin-piiq was deemed an effective agent that might provide a therapeutic option for patients with R/R DLBCL who were not ideal candidates for CAR T-cell therapy.12

In 2020, selinexor was approved by the FDA for use in adult patients with R/R DLBCL (including follicular lymphoma-derived DLBCL) after at least 2 lines of systemic treatment.13 Selinexor inhibits nuclear export of tumor suppressor proteins by blocking exportin 1.13

The FDA approval was based on results of the open-label single-arm phase 2 SADAL trial (NCT02227251), which included patients 18 years or older with DLBCL (based on pathologic confirmation) with an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) score of 2 or less, who had 2 to 5 lines of prior therapy, and who had progressed following or were ineligible for ASCT.14 The primary end point of the SADAL trial was ORR (comprising patients with CR or PR per 2014 Lugano criteria), with secondary end points consisting of DOR and disease control rate.14 Patients received the 60-mg oral selinexor on the first and third day of each week until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity occurred.14

The updated phase 2b ORR was 28.3% with a disease control rate of 37% (95% CI, 28.6-46.0). Of 36 responders, CRs were reported in 13 evaluable patients and PRs were reported in 23 patients. At a median follow-up of 11.1 months, the median DOR was 9.3 months (95% CI, 4.8-23.0). For those with a CR, median DOR was 23.0 months (95% CI, 10.4-23.0); median DOR was 4.4 months for those with a PR (95% CI, 2.0not evaluable).14,15 To address potential differences by subtype, the SADAL trial also included a subgroup analysis of patients with the germinal center B-cell (GCB)like subtype (n = 59), which demonstrated an ORR of 33.9%, a 14% CR rate, and a 20% PR rate, whereas the patients with a non-GCB subtype (n = 63) had an ORR of 20.6%. At the time of data cutoff, 7%(n = 9) of patients showed continuing response.14,15 The SADAL trial also included 5 patients with the unclassified subtype, in 1 of whom a CR was achieved and in 2 of whom a PR was achieved.15With respect to safety, 98% of patients in the SADAL trial had at least 1 treatment-emergent adverse event (TEAE). The most frequent grade 3/4 events were thrombocytopenia, neutropenia, anemia, fatigue, hyponatremia, and nausea.14 Among serious AEs affecting 48% of patients, the most common were pyrexia, pneumonia, and sepsis.14 Gastrointestinal AEs werereported in 80% of patients, hyponatremia in 61%, and central neurologic events (which included dizziness and altered mental status) in 25%.16 Trial investigators concluded that selinexor improved survival considerably and that it presented a nonchemotherapy oral option for patients with R/R DLBCL.14

Tafasitamab-cxix is a CD19-targeting monoclonal antibody that gained FDA approval in 2020 for use with lenalidomide in adults with R/R DLBCL who are ineligible for ASCT, including patients with low-grade lymphoma derived DLBCL.17 Tafasitamab-cxix binds to the pre-B and mature B-lymphocyte surface antigen CD19, which is expressed in DLBCL and other B-cell malignancies.17 Tafasitamab-cxix, once bound to CD19, facilitates B-lymphocyte lysis via apoptosis and immune effector mechanisms that encompass antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity and antibody-dependent cellular phagocytosis.17

The FDA approval of tafasitamab-cxix was based on data from the phase 2, single-arm, multicenter, open-label L-MIND trial (NCT02399085).17,18 The L-MIND trial included patients 18 years or older with R/R DLBCL who had received 1 to 3 previous therapies ( 1 of which incorporated a CD20-directed regimen), had an ECOG score of 0 to 2, and were ASCT ineligible.18 Patients were administered tafasitamab-cxix and lenalidomide in 28-day cycles and continued to receive tafasitamab-cxix every 2 weeks after cycle 12 until disease progression.18 Objective response rate (ie, PR and CR) was the primary end point per IRC, which implemented PET imaging; secondary end points included investigator-assessed objective response rate, DOR, OS, PFS, biomarker analyses, and safety.18 Eighty patients were included in the full analysis set (FAS), receiving tafasitamab-cxix plus lenalidomide.18 Of the FAS, the objective response rate was 60.0% (95% CI, 48.4%-70.8%) and the CR rate was 42.5% (34/80).18 The rate of patients achieving a 12-month DOR rate was comparable across subgroups, with 70.5% of patients who received 1 prior line of therapy achieving a 12-month DOR (95% CI, 47.2%-85.0%) and 72.7% of patients who had 2 or more prior lines of therapy achieving a 12-month DOR (95% CI, 46.3%-87.6%).18

Outcomes in patients with GCB DLBCL (n = 37) were promising, with an objective response rate of 48.6%, a 12-month DOR rate of 53.5%, and a 12-month OS rate of 65.4% (based upon the Hans algorithm). Outcomes in patients with non-GCB DLBCL (n = 21) were an improvement over those with the GCB subtype, with an objective response rate of 71.4%, a 12-month DOR rate of 83.1%, and a 12-month OS rate of 84.2%.18 IRC-evaluated data from a 2-year follow up of the L-MIND trial showed an objective response rate of 58.8% (47/80) and CR rate of 41.3% (33/80).19 The 2-year follow up data also showed a median DOR of 34.6 months, with a 31.6-month median OS and a 16.2-month median PFS.19

Safety data from the preliminary L-MIND trial results showed that the most frequent TEAEs (of any grade) were neutropenia (48%), thrombocytopenia (32%), anemia (31%), diarrhea (30%), pyrexia (22%), and asthenia (20%).20 A lenalidomide dose reduction was required in 42% of patients; 72% of patients could remain on daily lenalidomide at 20 mg or higher.20 Trial investigators concluded that the combination of tafasitamab-cxix and lenalidomide was well tolerated and did not lead to compounded AEs.20

The promising data from recent trialsparticularly from their DLBCL subtype based subgroupsunderscore the importance of understanding the unique prognoses and responses that these subtypes confer on patient outcomes. The establishment of DLBCL subtypes as prognostic and therapeutic response factors has fueled a search for more specific molecular targets in the disease process. In addition, the importance of subtype characterization is evidenced by ongoing diagnostic assay development (for use in conjunction with immunohistochemistry). As exemplified by the patient populations in these trials, new therapeutic options with distinct mechanisms of actions are needed for patients with R/R DLBCL who are ineligible for ASCT. Multiple studies of targeted agents in the R/R DLBCL setting are under way that include CAR T-cell, bispecific T-cell engager, programmed death receptor 1 (PD-1) inhibitor, and BCL2 inhibitor therapies.1 Continued development of clinically applicable diagnostics holds promise for improved prognostic capability and assessment of therapeutic response. With improved diagnostics, further elucidation of DLBCL-driver mutations can continue to provide additional DLBCL subtype-specific options and, hence, more treatments tailored to individual patients.

25 years on, what is the legacy of Dolly the Sheep, and what future for GM food? – Yorkshire Post

HomeIn the last in a series on milestone anniversaries in politics and cultural history, produced with Huddersfield University, we recall the controversy generated by the first genetically modified food in Britain.

Saturday, 2nd January 2021, 6:00 am

It was only a tin of tomato puree, but it created a stink that lingered for years.

The 25th anniversary of the first genetically modified food to go on sale in a British supermarket merits scarcely a footnote in retailing history, yet it heralded a new scientific era. That same year, Dolly the sheep, the first mammal to have been successfully cloned from an adult cell, made her debut at Edinburgh University.

The cans of concentrated California puree that went on sale at Sainsburys and Safeway in February 1996 had been produced from the flavr savr tomato , a strain from which the rotting gene, not to mention most of the vowels, had been removed. The bioscience company Zeneca had spent 10 years perfecting the process, and said the result was a stronger tasting sauce that stuck better to pasta.

Critics, however, called it Frankenstein food and some threatened a boycott. The Prince of Wales said the implications of genetically modified cops were enough to send a cold chill down the spine.

The tins stayed on the shelves for three years before demand subsided and the range was withdrawn. Today, Britain remains one of the few developed nations where such crops are not grown commercially, although modified oilseed rape, soybean, cotton-seed oil, maize and sugar beet are allowed to be imported.

But it is politics, not science that is holding back the tide, according to one Yorkshire expert.

As a scientist, and taking into account the laws and safety procedures that are in place, I dont see a problem, said Dr Dougie Clarke of Huddersfield Universitys School of Applied Sciences.

They create higher yields, there is less food waste and in third world countries where growing food in arid conditions is a problem, they now have drought-resistant crops that they can grow and sustain.

The issue, he said, was that while politicians were content to be led by science in their response to illness and disease, they were less willing to listen to the arguments for genetic modification.

The British government is more worried about the publics opinion than they really should be, he said. I understand that people are concerned that these modified crops might begin to wipe out the natural variety, but there are very good control measures in place to prevent that happening.

The campaign group Genewatch UK takes the opposite view, calling for protection for plants and animals from contamination by genetically modified organisms, and a ban on activities that would compromise human rights and food security.

The argument goes far beyond crops, and as Dr Clarke pointed out, the work carried out in Edinburgh 25 years ago had been the catalyst for many important medical developments.

In 1996 we were leading the world with Dolly the sheep, and the one good thing that the British government allowed was research in stem cells, which can replace damaged tissues, whereas America banned it at one stage.

Dollys arrival on July 5 1996 was for a while one of the worlds best kept secrets. It was not until the following February that news of her birth was made known.

Scientists produced her by inserting DNA from a single sheep cell into an egg and implanting it in a surrogate mother.

In America, President Bill Clinton set up a task force to examine the legal and ethical implications of cloning, but 25 years later the process has manifested itself in unexpected ways.

Quite apart from the medical research it engendered into Parkinsons Disease and other conditions, it spawned an industry in pet cloning for the benefit of people who cannot bear to say goodbye to a loved animal.

Many people will pay to get a copy of their pet. Companies in America and South Korea have been specialising in this since 2001, said Dr Clarke. The first dog to be cloned was an Afghan hound.

But the same technology is also being used for something of real use, in the cloning of sniffer dogs that are used to search out explosives or drugs. Only a very small number usually make the grade, but Korean scientists managed to clone a golden Labrador retriever that was renowned for its sniffing abilities, and made several clones of it.

Not everyone likes the idea of that, but its clear that good can come from cloning.

Human closing, however, would likely remain beyond the pale, he said. In theory its completely possible, but no-one has done it and most people would consider it totally unethical.

Opinion was divided when Dolly the cloned sheep apparently named after the singer Dolly Parton was revealed to the world. Critics feared that the technique could be used to artificially produce humans, a prospect described by Dr Ian Wilmut, who led the team of scientists behind the project, as repugnant as well as illegal.

But he said the work would enable us to study genetic diseases for which there is presently no cure.

Many animal rights activists were horrified at the development, and the Church of Scotland said that while the work was fascinating, it had reservations about the implications.

‘He was very honored in his work’ – Mercer Island Reporter

Dr. Sen-itiroh Hakomori couldnt leave his lab work alone. He would often log 13-hour days, seven days a week, and even spend some time at his job on Christmas morning, intensely focused on his glycosphingolipid medical and biochemical research.

I realized fairly recently that all of the cells are just like a pet. You have to check up on them and make sure that things are going well because theyre alive, said his daughter Naoko Vaughn. As children, we did not understand why he went to work every single day. I realized that he had to.

Vaughns father, who she said had a heart of gold and would help anybody, died of natural causes at the age of 91 on Nov. 10 at his home on Mercer Island.

Roger Laine, a colleague and friend who was the last professor to visit Hakomori, said that he was truly a pioneering scientist in glycobiology, a field in which he spent seven decades participating in groundbreaking studies.

He worked most of his career showing differences between cancer cells and normal cells that could be targeted for therapy. If you asked him what was his goal in life, he would answer, cure cancer, said Laine, a professor, scientist and researcher at Louisiana State University.

Hakomori is survived by his wife, Mitsuko (they were married for 74 years); Vaughn; sons, Yoichiro and Kenjiro; four grandchildren and two great-grandchildren; two brothers and a sister.

A native of Japan, professor Hakomori made crucial contributions to new cancer-cell studies at the Cancer Research Institute at Tohoku Pharmaceutical University, and continued his vast research in the field when the family immigrated to the United States to the Boston area.

The family moved from Boston to Bellevue in the late 1960s and set up their new home on Mercer Island 46 years ago. Hakomori relocated his family to the Pacific Northwest to become involved with the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, and served as University of Washington professor of pathobiology and professor of microbiology. He was named a UW professor emeritus of pathobiology and global health in 2006.

Hakomori retired at the age of 88, finishing his career working at the Pacific Northwest Cancer Center in Seattle. During a celebration in Japan three years ago, Hakomori who was a member of the prestigious National Academy of Sciences spoke to the attendees and noted, We are all globally connected with research and science.

His two sons reflected on their fathers vital contribution to their lives.

Dad was passionate about his work and a great mentor to many of his younger colleagues. He has inspired me to try to emulate that passion in the work I do as an architect and professor, said Yoichiro.

Added Kenjiro: Dad taught me by example to work hard on trying to find out and work on resolving research questions it is a lifelong passion.

Vaughn added that her father instilled a high-level work ethic in his children, telling them, Whatever you do, whatever you choose to do, whatever your passion is, you do it 120 percent.

Hakomori made a worldwide impact with his research and was nominated five times for the Nobel Prize in chemistry. He received numerous awards, including the Philip Levine Immunohematology Award, the Karl Meyer Award from the Society of Glycobiology and the Rosalind Kornfield Award for Lifetime Achievement in Glycobiology.

He published 585 articles in peer-reviewed journals, and a pair of his many major scientific achievements were methylation analysis of glycoconjugates with mass spectrometry, and cell adhesion based on carbohydrate-carbohydrate interaction, particularly through GSL clusters at the embryonic stem cell surface.

He was very honored in his work, and he did not do it for money. He was very much just trying to help, which is rare these days, said Vaughn, adding that a host of his students and colleagues from around the world are assembling a memorial for her father to be published in a glycosphingolipid journal.

He was just a wonderful person. I think the most important thing is his colleagues really admired him. He made them successful in their lives, Vaughn added.

When Sarah Spiegel was a graduate student, she was drawn to Hakomoris papers and reviews on the role of glycoconjugates in cancer. Those documents sparked her imagination and inspired her to pursue a career in sphingolipids, she wrote on the Evergreen Washelli Funeral Home & Cemetery memorial page.

He was a champion of advancing careers of young female scientists and his generous spirit influenced my generation and generations to come, said Spiegel, Ph.D., professor and chair in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the Virginia Commonwealth University School of Medicine. His legacy will live on through the works of countless researchers who continue working in the field of sphingolipids and many colleagues throughout the world will miss him tremendously.

The Biggest Science News of 2020 – The Scientist

The pandemics toll on the research community

Given the collective pivot the globe took toward addressing the coronavirus pandemic, were dedicating a separate post to what we heard from scientists this yeartheir struggles and triumphs, frustrations and joys.

Aside from research on SARS-CoV-2 itself, the pandemic had huge effects on the scientific community. Tragically, the virus claimed the lives of a number of researchers. Lynika Strozier, whose hands of gold could extract DNA from small amounts of starting material and who identified numerous new species, was just 35 when she died of COVID-19. Paleobotanist Brian Axsmith died of COVID-19 at age 57. Paleontologist Robert Carroll, former Stanford University President Donald Kennedy, microbiologist Paul Matewele, former Babraham Institute Director Michael Wakelam, HIV researcher Gita Ramjee, and vascular biologist Stephen Schwartz were also among the 1.6 million people who have died from the disease this year.

While a considerable proportion of researchers found themselves struggling to do their work at times this year, others found themselves laid off or furloughed. Women in STEM appear to have taken the greatest hit to their productivity. Academic job opportunities shrunk and dont seem to have recovered to the hiring levels of past years.

Nevertheless, a survey of scientists has found the community resilient in the face of lockdowns and other restrictions, and the astounding accomplishments in the development of drugs, vaccines, diagnostics, and research techniques related to the coronavirus are a testament to researchers creativity and dedication. Scientists managed to keep their science afloat by turning their homes into wet labs and finding new ways to be productive. Scientific conferences went from cancelled or postponed to completely revamped as virtual events, with broadened inclusivity and fewer carbon emissions from travel.

With all eyes on SARS-CoV-2, it was easy to overlook other big events unleashed by mother nature. Wildfires burned up and down the US West Coast. In California, blazes damaged field sites and threatened astronomical observatories. And on the other side of the globe, in Australia, efforts to shore up vulnerable koala populations suffered, perhaps irreparably. Theres been so much research progress in recent years to try and improve the health status of these koala populations, Natasha Speight, a koala disease researcher and veterinarian at the University of Adelaide in South Australia, told The Scientist in January. It really is a setback to have so many lost from these bushfires.

Similarly, a park in Argentina where a long-term study of 20 groups of resident howler monkeys had been ongoing for decades saw at least five groups perish in fires this fall. All these groups that we found, I knew everything about them. I knew who was the son, the daughter, the mother. The first [few days] I was crying all the time, Martin Kowalewski, a primate ecologist and the director of the Estacin Biolgica Corrientes field station, told The Scientist. The fires were thought to have been started intentionally by ranchers to stimulate grassland growth, but they then burned out of control, decimating the reserve where the monkeys lived.

Electron microscopy image of mitochondria isolated from healthy human blood plasma

ALAIN THIERRY, INSERM

In February, scientists reported that they had found functioning mitochondria in peoples blood. Past studies had shown that mitochondrial DNA could be found in circulation, and at times the organelles might get released from cells in response to damage, but entire, respiring organelles in the blood of healthy individuals was a novel observation.

The whole thing surprises me, Joel Riley, who studies how mitochondria can stimulate inflammation at the University of Glasgow and wasnt involved in the study, told The Scientist at the time. We know that bits of mitochondria can get kicked out of cells through extracellular vesicles [when they are damaged], but whole mitochondriathats pretty cool. The next step is to figure out what the organelles are doing in circulation.

A 3-D reconstruction from histological slides (inset on right) of the newly discovered tubarial gland (yellow; ducts in light blue). The torus tubarius cartilage is colored dark blue and muscle is pink.

Humans continue to be full of anatomical surprises, and this year researchers added to our known components a set of salivary glands in the neck that they named the tubarial glands. The tissue, tucked behind the pharynx, likely went unnoticed because it is difficult to reach during surgery and was discovered with a combination of positron emission tomography (PET) and computed tomography (CT) that uses a radioactive tracer that binds to a prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA). Ordinarily, PSMA PET/CT is used to detect prostate cancer, but lead scientist Wouter Vogel, a radiation oncologist at the Netherlands Cancer Institute, told The Scientist in October, This scan is extremely sensitive for the salivary glands. So we can see more than ever before.

Although a perennial problem, a lack of equity in STEM gained renewed attention in 2020 as scientists advocated for inclusion, anti-racist action, and awareness of the forces that turn away people from underrepresented groups. Black in X, a collection of initiatives to raise the profile of Black scientists in various fields and support their careers, emerged after a racist incident in May between a Black birder and a white woman who wasnt following a canine leash law in New York Citys Central Park. Black in Neuro, Black in Astro, Black in Chem, and other groups have since organized virtual events and digital networking. Now that we can finally see each other, we can now support each other, Black in Micro co-organizer Ariangela Kozik, a postdoc at the University of Michigan, told The Scientist.

This year, several academic journals also came to recognize that their name-change policies could be harming transgender individuals. Cell Press, for instance, adopted a new policy that allows authors to change the name on their publications. It still requires issuing a correction, with the authors approval, which can reveal more information than authors might wish to provide. Theresa Tanenbaum, a computer scientist at the University of California, Irvine, who has worked on name-change guidance for journals, told The Scientist she advocates for publishers keeping a private record of name changes that would be released only when needed, such as in a legal case.

The first blood test to sample for blood biomarkers indicative of Alzheimers disease became available for physicians in October. C2N Diagnosticss test measures the ratio of two isoforms of the amyloid- protein, A42 and A40, and the presence of isoforms of apolipoprotein E (ApoE) associated with Alzheimers risk. If you asked me [five or ten] years ago if there would ever be a blood test for Alzheimers, I would have been very skeptical, Howard Fillit, the executive director and chief science officer of the Alzheimers Drug Discovery Foundation, which invested in C2Ns development of the test, told The Scientist. So the fact that this is on the market now is just amazing.

Because modern humans interbreeding with Neanderthals took place in Eurasia thousands of years ago, geneticists had assumed that individuals with African ancestry wouldnt have much Neanderthal DNA in their genomes. Not so. In a study that came out in January, researchers compared African genomes to the Neanderthal reference genome and found a lot more overlap than they had expectedabout 17 megabases.

This is still just one-third of whats found in the genomes of people with European and Asian ancestry, and likely represents the migration of people from Europe and Asia who carried with them to Africa the genetic legacy of their ancestors intermingling with Neanderthals.

Janet Kelso, a computational biologist at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology who was not involved in the study, told The Scientist at the time, Whats surprising here is the amount. Its actually a larger proportion than I think people had imagined.

Exosomes act as messengers and decoys to save healthy cells from viral infection – Massive Science

Following the harassment of Christian Cooper in Central Park in May 2020, Black birders created #BlackBirdersWeek to celebrate Black nature enthusiasts and highlight their belonging in outdoor spaces. Since then, dozens of campaigns have emerged to amplify and appreciate Black academics, scientists, and naturalists.

Next up is #BlackInMarineScienceWeek, running from November 29th to December 5th.Led by founder Dr. Tiara Moore and organizers Amani Webber-Schultz, Dr. Camille Gaynus, Carlee Jackson, Al Troutman, Jasmin Graham, Jeanette Davis, Kris Howard, Leslie Townsell, Kaylee Arnold, and Jaida Elcock, this week represents an opportunity for community building and improved representation.

There are few Black folks in ecology and even fewer in marine ecology, says Arnold, a science communicator and disease ecologist. The network that Ive gained through organizing this week is phenomenal. Meeting other Black marine scientists and showing that to the world, especially young Black folks, is a way to say we exist, were here. We have a full day dedicated to young kids, which is unique and exciting.

The organizers hope that the week will help normalize Black folks doing marine research, inspire younger generations, and remind everyone to check their preconceived notions.

"When I say I study sharks people seem concerned about my swimming or my hair, [and] sometimes respond with 'Oh, thats super interesting'... I dont know if that's because it's unusual for people to study sharks or because Im Black and I study sharks, recalls Elcock, an elasmobranch movement ecologist, science communicator, and co-founder of Minorities in Shark Science. Science is for everybody. People say there isn't diversity because [Black] people arent interested... thats clearly not true theres a whole week dedicated [to it]."

Discussion this week will address the fact that exclusion, not lack of interest, led to todays lack of representation. Centuries of segregation and underinvestment in Black neighborhood pools led to, and are perpetuated by, these incorrect and harmful ideas.

My grandparents and my mom said there were just no pools for her to go to... I had a very different experience. Despite people trying to push us out of the water and science, we persevered, and now we get to break down those stereotypes, notes Arnold.

Black in Marine Science Week is here to do just that, showcasing organizers and participants from every imaginable marine science niche, all shaping how society views the oceans and its inhabitants.

There's more Black folks than even we know and are showcasing. I hope that if the media picks up on the number of us as well, and has better representation. Seminar series are extremely white, and now you have a resource of people you can invite instead, emphasizes Arnold, pointing to the necessity of non-Black marine scientists to step up and ensure representation continues beyond this joyous and educational week.

The 11 most mind-blowing health discoveries and innovations of 2020 – Business Insider – Business Insider

MSPhotographic/Getty Images

Most kids with peanut allergies do not outgrow them. But, with a little help, some might be able to better tolerate accidental exposures.

In January, the Food and Drug Administration approved Palforzia, a new drug designed to help kids who are allergic to peanuts react better, if they are accidentally exposed.

"Because there is no cure, allergic individuals must strictly avoid exposure to prevent severe and potentially life-threatening reactions," Dr. Peter Marks, director of the FDA's Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research said at the time in a news release. "When used in conjunction with peanut avoidance, Palforzia provides an FDA-approved treatment option to help reduce the risk of these allergic reactions."

Palforzia is not designed to be administered during an allergic reaction, instead it works as an allergy exposure therapy: children ages 4 through 17 receive daily doses of peanut powder under clinical supervision, and slowly up-dose it over time.

In clinical trials, the strategy worked well, but not perfectly. When peanut-allergic kids were fed 600 milligrams of peanut protein, 67.2% of Palforzia recipients who'd been using the medication for six months tolerated it, while only 4% of the control group did.

Cultured Protein: A Guide To Every Cell-Based Meat Startup In The World Right Now – Green Queen Media

The alternative protein market is on fire right now, estimated to beworth approximately $2.2Bn, and cultivated meat is expected to play an important role in the shift from traditional meat products. Experienced scientists are engaging in so called cellular agriculture with the aim of reducing animal-based agricultures negative impact on both the planet and the suffering of animals and at the same time feeding a growing population.

It may take a while for consumers to accept the idea of growing meat in a lab rather than on a farm, but withincreasing concerns over food safety and securitythere is an ongoing shift in perception and priorities which is feeding the growth in cultivated meat development.

However, not everyone is as positive about the meat of the future. Animal rights activists such asClean Meat Hoaxplay a part in the resistance, but those with the biggest stake (steak?) are livestock farmers, with collectives such as theEuropean Livestock Voicedetermined to give consumers another perspective on the industry.

Here at Trellis Road, were of course following the startups and the development in this area closely. In this post we have summarized the startups across different subsectors to provide a snapshot of the state of the space.

A couple of things to note before diving in:

In the graphic below weve looked at the cultivated meat landscape based on two key groups of startups; the ones primarily focusing on producing the actual meat and the ones focused on enabling technologies.

Looking at the companies focused on producing the actual meat it is evident that beef has for long been the most attractive meat type to focus on, with 14 companies in the category compared to only two focused on chicken and four focused on pork, probably becauseindustrial beef production is the worst for the environment, so eliminating it with cultivated alternatives would make the biggest impact. In addition, the higher price point for beef makes price parity for a cultivated product at some point in the future more likely than it might be for cheaper meat types such as pork and chicken.

In the group of startups focusing on enabling technologies the biggest subcategory is Cell Culture Media, where 2019 showed a real increase with a whole of eight new startups. This might be seen as the industry now being developed enough to show growing demand for cell culture media, and weve also heard multiple founders state that they started working on cultivated meat products only to realise the cost and challenges related to the media, including making it truly animal-free. Another category that judging by this data has gained more interest in the later years is Scaffolding and Structure where four new startups has emerged since 2019.

Looking at it from a geographical standpoint we can see that North America and Europe dominates the industry; there are 25 companies based in North America, 23 in Europe and only ten in Asia as well as an additional ten from other parts of the world. Two countries that stands out as being a little extra relevant are Israel and the Netherlands; Israel having five startups in the sector despite only having 9 million inhabitants and the Netherlands having four startups in the sector despite only having 17 million inhabitants.
