Factor Bioscience Announces U.S. Department of Defense Grant to Develop Gene-Edited Cell Therapies

FactorBioscience Announces U.S. Department of Defense Grant to Develop Gene-Edited Cell Therapies Read the latest here.

Factor Bioscience Inc. announced the award of a U.S. Department of Defense grant to develop next-generation cell therapy candidates using Factor’s patented mRNA, cell-reprogramming, and gene-editing technologies. The project will be led by Factor’s Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer, Dr. Christopher Rohde.

Under the award, Factor will generate the first scalable cell therapy specifically targeting muscle inflammation in DMD patients. To carry out the work, Factor will utilize its extensively patented technologies for engineering cells, including methods for reprogramming and gene-editing cells using mRNA.

The award is sponsored by the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs, through the Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Research Program, which is endorsed by the Department of Defense. The award will fund development activities for up to five years.

Diabetic Nephropathy | Diabetic Kidney Disease

Kidney damage from diabetes is called diabetic nephropathy. You can slow down kidney damage or keep it from getting worse. Controlling your blood sugar and blood pressure, taking your medicines and not eating too much protein can help.

If you have diabetes, your blood glucose, or blood sugar, levels are too high. Over time, this can damage your kidneys. Your kidneys clean your blood. If they are damaged, waste and fluids build up in your blood instead of leaving your body.

Kidney damage from diabetes is called diabetic nephropathy. It begins long before you have symptoms. People with diabetes should get regular screenings for kidney disease. Tests include a urine test to detect protein in your urine and a blood test to show how well your kidneys are working.

If the damage continues, your kidneys could fail. In fact, diabetes is the most common cause of kidney failure in the United States. People with kidney failure need either dialysis or a kidney transplant.
