Dallas, Texas (PRWEB) July 07, 2013

The Gene Therapy Partnering Agreements report provides an understanding and access to the gene therapy partnering deals and agreements entered into by the world's leading healthcare companies:

Trends in gene therapy partnering deals Disclosed headlines, upfronts, milestones and royalties by stage of development Gene therapy partnering contract documents Top gene therapy deals by value

The report provides a detailed understanding and analysis of how and why companies enter gene therapy partnering deals (http://www.reportsnreports.com/reports/262461-gene-therapy-partnering-terms-and-agreements.html). The majority of deals are early development stage whereby the licensee obtains a right or an option right to license the licensors gene therapytechnology or product candidates. These deals tend to be multicomponent, starting with collaborative R&D, and commercialization of outcomes.

This report provides details of the latest gene therapy, oligonucletides including aptamers agreements announced in the healthcare sectors.

Understanding the flexibility of a prospective partners negotiated deals terms provides critical insight into the negotiation process in terms of what you can expect to achieve during the negotiation of terms. Whilst many smaller companies will be seeking details of the payments clauses, the devil is in the detail in terms of how payments are triggered contract documents provide this insight where press releases and databases do not.

This report contains a comprehensive listing of all gene therapy partnering deals announced since 2007 including financial terms where available including over 300 links to online deal records of actual gene therapy partnering deals as disclosed by the deal parties. In addition, where available, records include contract documents as submitted to the Securities Exchange Commission by companies and their partners.

Contract documents provide the answers to numerous questions about a prospective partners flexibility on a wide range of important issues, many of which will have a significant impact on each partys ability to derive value from the deal.

For example, analyzing actual company deals and agreements allows assessment of the following: What is actually granted by the agreement to the partner company? What exclusivity is granted? What are the precise rights granted or optioned? What is the payment structure for the deal? How are sales and payments audited? What is the deal term? How are the key terms of the agreement defined? How are IPRs handled and owned? Who is responsible for commercialization? Who is responsible for development, supply, and manufacture? How is confidentiality and publication managed? How are disputes to be resolved? Under what conditions can the deal be terminated? What happens when there is a change of ownership? What sublicensing and subcontracting provisions have been agreed? Which boilerplate clauses does the company insist upon? Which boilerplate clauses appear to differ from partner to partner or deal type to deal type? Which jurisdiction does the company insist upon for agreement law?

The report also includes numerous tables and figures that illustrate the trends and activities in gene therapy partnering and dealmaking since 2007.

Manila, Philippines -- Philippine Medical Association (PMA) President Dr. Leo Olarte said yesterday Filipinos need not go abroad or seek foreign consultation if they want to undergo stem cell therapy to cure an ailment.

Olarte warned of the risks and complications involved in stem cell therapy when improperly administered, citing the case of a government official who complained of feeling weak after the procedure was performed on him by a group of foreign medical team inside a posh hotel in Mandaluyong City.

The PMA chief said there are local experts who are capable of performing safe and reliable stem cell treatments in the country using the patient's own stem cells.

The other day, a lawyer for Dangerous Drugs Board (DDB) Chairman Antonio Villar faced the media and revealed that her client is filing charges against the foreign medical team who performed the procedure on him.

Lawyer Claire Pagayanan said the lead doctor who performed the stem cell therapy was from Germany while the other two doctors and nurses who assisted him were from Thailand.

Villar reportedly paid 15,000 euros or approximately P1.2 million for the procedure.

"Doctors who perform this therapy should be licensed by the Philippine Food and Drugs Administration. Before foreign doctors could perform here, they should apply for a license from the Professional Regulation Commission," he said. Those who fail to do so will be in "clear illegal practice of medicine in violation of the Medical Act of 1959," Olarte added.

For his part, PMA spokesperson Dr. Mike Aragon lamented how colonial mentality has affected the decision-making process of some Filipinos. "Maybe they are not well-informed about stem cell therapy, or it is the colonial mentality. Many of us think that if it is foreign, it is something good," Aragon said.

In the country, the only Department of Health (DoH)-approved stem cells that can be used for treatment are the patient's own stem cells harvested from his or her blood, bone marrow and fat.

A new study showed that loneliness and depression increases the level of chronic stress, which in turn hurts the immune system. The weakened immune system fails to control the latent herpes virus. The latent herpes virus reactivates and causes an outbreak.

Loneliness has been thought of in many ways as a chronic stressor a socially painful situation that can last for quite a long time. Lisa Jaremka, Institute for Behavioral Medicine Research, Ohio State University (1)

The study showed that lonely and depressed people produced more inflammation-related (viral) proteins in response to acute stress than did people who felt more socially connected. (1)

In addition, These (viral) proteins signal the presence of inflammation, and chronic inflammation is linked to numerous conditions, including coronary heart disease, Type 2 diabetes, arthritis and Alzheimers disease, as well as the frailty and functional decline that can accompany aging. (1)

As you can see, these latent viruses cause more than just herpes outbreaks. They underlie the inflammation, which causes many chronic diseases. Obviously people need ways to deal with loneliness and depression, but they also need something that targets latent viruses. Gene-Eden-VIR, a natural antiviral remedy, completely fills that need. - Mike Evans, polyDNA

Since the latent herpes virus reactivation has been linked to loneliness and depression, polyDNA recommends killing the herpes virus as soon as possible to help prevent the onset of an outbreak. Gene-Eden-VIR boosts the immune system and helps it attack and eliminate the latent herpes virus. A recent post marketing clinical study showed that Gene-Eden-VIR is safe and effective. Up to 70% of those studied reported a decrease in viral symptoms. (2)

Each ingredient of Gene-Eden-VIR was chosen through a scientific approach. Scientists scanned thousands of scientific and medical papers published in various medical and scientific journals around the world to identify the safest, most effective natural ingredients that target the latent form of herpes.

WEDNESDAY, July 3 (HealthDay News) -- Thousands of sequences that control genes are active in the development of human limbs, a new study says.

The findings don't determine the exact genetic mechanisms that control development of limbs, but do provide the first genome-wide view of candidates to analzye, the researchers said.

"We now have a parts list that may account for these biological changes," study senior author James Noonan, an associate professor of genetics at the Yale School of Medicine, said in a university news release.

He and his colleagues compared gene regulatory sequence activity that occurs in humans, rhesus monkeys and mice during limb development in the womb. While activity was generally similar in all three species, certain regulatory sequences were active only in humans.

The study was published online July 3 in the journal Cell.

Noonan plans to transfer some of gene regulatory elements specific to humans into mice to see what aspects of human limb development they may control.

"It has been difficult to understand how human traits evolved, because we didn't have any idea where the important genetic changes might be," Noonan said. "Now we do, and we have the experimental tools to determine what biological effects these changes may have. Our study also provides a roadmap for understanding other human-specific traits that arise during development, such as increased brain size and complexity."

A study showed that Cytomegalovirus (CMV) may accelerate the progression of a certain form of brain cancer. The study was conducted by researchers at the Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center and was published in the journal Cancer Research on June 27th 2013. (2)

CMV has been detected in many cancer types We believe that CMVs action occurs in the tumors cells of origin... Dr. Chang-Hyuk Kwon, the Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center (1)

Dr. E. Antonio Chiocca, another study author said anti-viral therapy against CMV might now be justified for human cancers. (1)

Mike Evans of polyDNA noted that, We are not surprised by these findings. In fact, the studys results provide further evidence for the Theory of Microcompetition discovered by Dr. Hanan Polansky and discussed in his ground breaking book, Microcompetition with Foreign DNA and the Origin of Chronic Disease. Weve long believed that latent viruses like CMV are the underlying cause of many diseases. Targeting these viruses should be a core part of treatment. Our product, Gene-Eden-VIR is a natural remedy that does just that.

polyDNA is a leading producer of natural CMV remedies. By helping the body's immune system target the latent CMV virus, people also lower their risk of developing symptoms caused by the latent CMV virus. A recent post marketing clinical study showed that Gene-Eden-VIR is effective against latent viruses. (3)

Each ingredient of Gene-Eden-VIR was chosen through a scientific approach. Scientists scanned thousands of scientific and medical papers published in various medical and scientific journals around the world to identify the safest, most effective natural ingredients that target the latent form of the Cytomegalovirus.

Genetic switches flipped in the growing brain may explain how thinking and behaviour changes between birth and adolescence, new research suggests.

Signals that turn genes on or off change dramatically during childhood, altering the way neurons communicate, scientists have found.

The process, known as DNA methylation, affects the activity of genes but not the genetic code itself.

Recent studies have shown a possible link between the same mechanism and serious mental disturbances including schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and depression.

The blueprint of switching signals that determine the activity of genes is known as the "epigenome".

Scientists found that in the frontal cortex, the part of the brain that most determines how we think and act, the epigenome is transformed between birth and the end of adolescence.

In both mice and humans, DNA methylation progressively increased until entry into adulthood, the research showed.

Dr Ryan Lister, from the University of Western Australia, a member of the team whose findings are reported in the journal Science, said: "The human brain has been called the most complex system that we know of in the universe.

"So perhaps we shouldn't be so surprised that this complexity extends to the level of the brain epigenome.

"These unique features of DNA methylation that emerge during critical phases of brain development suggest the presence of previously unrecognised regulatory processes that may be critically involved in normal brain function and brain disorders."

07/04/2013 20:05 INDIA Indian doctor: London stop the new eugenics, it is immoral and dangerous by Nirmala Carvalho The UK is set to legalize in vitro fertilization with three parents: the fetus will thus have the DNA of three different people. For a member of the Pontifical Academy of Life, approval of such testing is likely to pave the way for "improper use of the medicine and transformation of genetic selection into a real option." In India, surrogacy has become a million dollar industry.

Mumbai (AsiaNews) - "Creating designer babies is alarming, immoral and dangerous. These experiments are a return of eugenics" says Pascoal Carvalho, a doctor in Mumbai and member of the Pontifical Academy for Life. Commenting on the news that UK the is about to become the first country in the world to legalize in vitro fertilization with three different donors: the mother, the father and a "donor" to AsiaNews he says "human genetic engineering is a reality and that the science of eugenics has now been validated beyond question - it has definite potential for being misused." ."

According to British researchers working on the project, in "three way" invitro fertilization eliminates the so-called "mitochondrial diseases", a series of genetic defects transmitted only from mother to child. The female egg is composed of a core, inside which is located the mitochondrion, organelle that provides energy during the cell multiplication, which will then form the fetus in all its parts (organs, tissues, muscles, etc.).. In case of problems with the mitochondria, the energy necessary for the development of cells in an embryo is reduced, thus giving rise to possible defects in the fetus. However, the mitochondrion itself does not determine the physical or genetic characteristics of the embryo.

Dr. Carvalho, who has obtained a degree in Immunology, explains how in vitro fertilization with three donors works. In this IVF treatment, the mitochondria of the original egg is removed if there is a defect, and replaced by mitochondria from a healthy woman, minimising the chances of genetically-transmitted birth defects". At this point the egg "compound" is fertilized with the sperm of the father. The problem, notes the doctor, "is that even though most of the DNA is located in the chromosomes of the nucleus, the mitochondria also has a 'its' DNA, known as 'mitochondrial DNA'." This genetic material "contains 37 genes, all essential to the proper functioning of mitochondria. For this reason, some features of the 'third parent' could be passed on".

Carvalho, who is also a member of the diocesan commission for human life, specifies: "Thousands of embryos will need to be produced and experimented upon in developing these techniques. The destruction of embryos in the IVF process requires the destruction of human which is sacred." "Besides - he said - certain limits have already been exceeded. We are already witness to moving boundaries with other IVF-related technologies, IVF already allows doctors to do genetic testing prior to implantation. Gender selection is possible, and with further technical refinements genetic "enhancements" might become an option."

In vitro fertilization is much debated in India, which has become a destination for medical tourism for years thanks to a vague regulation on the subject. In particular, surrogacy is increasingly widespread in the country: legalized by the Supreme Court in 2002, today it is a million dollar industry. In Mumbai alone there are between 70 and 80 centers for assisted reproduction and just over 200 in the State of Maharashtra. Recently, Shah Rukh Khan, a Bollywood superstar, and his wife had their third child through a surrogate mother, opening a major debate across the country.

About 80 per cent of people who have asthma also have hay fever or eczema. Photo: shutterstock.com

Weve long known that allergies such as eczema, hay fever and asthma are caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. But weve been unclear about which genes are responsible.

This week, my international research team published a study identifying ten genetic variants that increase a persons risk of developing allergies. The study, published in Nature Genetics, showed that the more variants a person has, the higher the risk of developing an allergic condition.

Allergies occur when the immune system thinks harmless substances such as dust are a threat. Photo: shutterstock.com

In Australia and New Zealand, about 30% of children have an allergy of some type. This occurs because their immune system incorrectly believes a harmless substance such as dust or pollen is a threat. These allergy-causing substances are called allergens.

Advertisement

An allergy develops when a particular type of cell from our immune system, B lymphocyte, produces antibodies against an allergen. This process often occurs at a young age and is known as sensitisation, that is, a person becomes sensitive to a particular substance in the environment.

From then on, if the same person is exposed to the same allergen, the antibodies produced by the B cells bind to the allergen. This triggers a series of reactions that culminate with inflammation appearing in the skin (eczema), nose (hay fever) or lungs (asthma). The symptoms of this inflammation are itching, sneezes and wheezes.

One in 10 Australians and New Zealanders have asthma. Photo: shutterstock.com

One in five Australians and New Zealanders will develop eczema in their lifetime; one in five will suffer with hay fever; and one in ten live with asthma, which can cause serious illness and can be fatal. About 80% of people who have asthma also have hay fever, and many also have eczema.
