The investigators propose to conduct a clinical trial of neoadjuvant treatment utilizing chemotherapy formulations with favorable toxicity profiles: weekly doxorubicin, PPX and capecitabine. It is expected this combination will at least maintain the efficacy of a traditional chemotherapy regimen but will be associated with less toxicity, particularly nausea, vomiting and alopecia. In order to accomplish this the investigators have designed a chemotherapy regimen whose components (or administration schedule) are associated with minimal or no alopecia and are also considered to have low emetogenic potential.
In an attempt to improve the efficacy of the regimen the investigators plan to study an alternate schedule of cyclophosphamide and methotrexate administration (metronomic chemotherapy) which appears to inhibit angiogenesis and therefore enhance the activity of conventional cytotoxic chemotherapy administered concurrently.
In this trial the investigators aim to determine the clinical and pathologic response rate of 12 weeks of doxorubicin followed by 4 cycles of PPX and capecitabine. Metronomic chemotherapy with cyclophosphamide and methotrexate will be administered during the 24 weeks of chemotherapy.

Pramipexole improves cognitive deficits and synaptic plasticity impairments in 3xTg-AD mice through enhancing autophagy

Article

Author: Cui, Chenglong ; Han, Feifei ; Tuo, Chunmei ; Sui, Xiaofan ; Wu, Meina ; Jiao, Juanjuan ; Cai, Hongyan

Autophagy dysfunction plays important roles in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD), and activation of autophagy might be a potential strategy in AD treatment. Although some autophagy inducers play beneficial roles in AD, no autophagy inducer has been available in AD clinical treatment due to lack of efficacy or obvious side effects. A recent study demonstrated that pramipexole (PPX) can activate autophagy in the brain without interfering with protein synthesis, thereby avoiding the side effects associated with prolonged use of an autophagy inducer. However, whether PPX can exert neuroprotective effects on AD and whether its potential mechanism is related to autophagy remains unclear. In the present study, the effects of PPX on the cognitive function of 3xTg-AD mice were observed using multiple behavioral tests, then synaptic plasticity was evaluated through in vivo hippocampal electrophysiological recordings and by measuring synaptic proteins, while Aβ and tau pathologies were detected using immunofluorescence staining and western blot. Finally, autophagy was detected and the potential target was predicted using bioinformatics analysis, qRT-PCR and molecular docking. Results demonstrated that PPX significantly improved cognitive deficits and hippocampal long-term potentiation (LTP) depression, increased the expression of PSD95, reduced Aβ deposition and tau hyperphosphorylation, activated autophagy by increasing LC3-II/LC3-I ratios and decreasing p62 levels, and restored Beclin1 expression. Bioinformatics analysis identified MAPK1 as a key target in PPX-ameliorated AD by enhancing autophagy. These findings suggest that PPX alleviates AD-related cognitive deficits and neuropathologies through increased autophagy, emphasising its potential as a disease-modifying therapeutic strategy for AD.

Polyglutamic acid and Pluronic F127-based hydrogel for loading sinomenine hydrochloride liposomes in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis

Article

Author: Chen, Dawei ; Han, Yanyan ; Guo, Zongjin ; Hu, Haiyang ; Zhao, Ming ; Peng, Chang ; Peng, Jiayi

Sinomenine hydrochloride (SNH), a key therapeutic agent for rheumatoid arthritis (RA), is limited by its low bioavailability, rapid metabolism, and frequent dosing requirements. This study innovatively developed a composite delivery system (SNH-Lip@PPGels) based on polyglutamic acid-poloxamer F127 thermosensitive hydrogel-encapsulated liposomes. In vitro drug release conformed to the Korsmeyer-Peppas kinetic model, demonstrating sustained-release characteristics. In vivo studies confirmed that SNH-Lip@PPGels precisely targets the joint cavity, with intra-articular retention exceeding 24 h. The system alleviates joint swelling and tissue damage in RA models by inhibiting M1 macrophage polarization, significantly reducing TNF-α and IL-6 levels while elevating anti-inflammatory IL-10. Notably, the SNH-Lip@PPGels group exhibited no systemic toxicity, with body weight profiles and histopathology tissues comparable to the normal group. This work proposes a novel RA therapeutic strategy integrating localized targeting and biosafety.

Characteristics of microbial phosphorus cycling in Phyllostachys praecox forest soils supplemented with the phosphate-solubilizing bacterium Pseudomonas sp. OP1 revealed by metagenomics

Article

Author: Wu, Zhizhuang ; Huang, Zhiyuan ; Zhong, Zheke ; Peng, Yuwen ; Bian, Fangyuan ; Zhang, Xiaoping

Soil phosphorus (P) is an essential nutrient for plants and a limiting factor in bamboo forest productivity. Plant endophytic phosphate-solubilizing bacteria (PSB) play a crucial role in soil P cycling. However, the mechanisms by which they influence soil P cycling in bamboo forests remain unclear. Here, we employed a metagenomics approach to evaluate the effects of the endophytic PSB Pseudomonas sp. OP1 on microbial P cycling in Phyllostachys. praecox forest soils. OP1 treatment significantly increased labile phosphorus (LP), moderately labile phosphorus (MLP), and nonlabile phosphorus (NLP) by 23.7, 40.37, and 18.98 % compared with the control (CK), respectively (p < 0.05). OP1 further significantly increased the abundance of functional genes associated with inorganic P solubilization and P transport. OP1-treated soils were enriched in ppx, gcd, ugpC, phnW, and phoN, whereas CK was characterized by phnC, phnP, ppa, and phnO. OP1 application altered the community structure of P-cycling microorganisms, enriching Chloroflexi and Bradyrhizobium while reducing Firmicutes and Streptomyces. Mantel tests revealed significant relation of soil P fractions to alkali-hydrolyzed nitrogen (AN), P-cycling genes, and the related microbial communities. Specifically, AN, ppx, phnW, phoN, and Nitrospirae (complete ammonia oxidizers) were significantly positively correlated with LP, MLP, and NLP, while Planctomycetota (anaerobic ammonia oxidizers) exhibited negative correlations with these P fractions, highlighting nitrogen-P co-regulation and microbial-mediated P transformation. These findings highlight the potential of PSB in enhancing soil P-use efficiency and reducing chemical phosphate fertilizer use, providing insights into the microbial mechanisms underlying P cycling in bamboo forests and supporting sustainable bamboo plantation management.

Self-healing plastic becomes biodegradable

Chemists develop mineral plastics with numerous positive properties from sustainable basic building blocks and, together with biologists, demonstrate the material's excellent microbiological degradability. Imagine a plastic like this: harder than common plastics, non-flammable, and even with self-healing properties. But that is not all! It can be produced at room temperature in water, which is very energy-efficient and does not require toxic solvents. Before hardening, you can shape the plastic in any way you want -- like chewing gum. By adding water, it can also be converted back to its "chewing gum" form at any time, reshaped and thus recycled as often as desired. Is that impossible? No, it is not! In 2016, the research team around Konstanz chemist Helmut Cölfen presented just such a material -- a mineral plastic. However, even though the plastic, with its novel manufacturing process and outstanding material properties, has since attracted great interest from industry, it still had a crucial shortcoming from the Konstanz chemists' point of view: due to its chemical composition, it was difficult to biodegrade. A new ingredient for greater environmental compatibility "Previously, we used polyacrylic acid to produce our mineral plastic. Chemically, this acid has the same backbone as polyethylene, which is known to cause major problems in the environment because it is hardly biodegradable," explains Cölfen. The research team led by Cölfen and Ilesha Avasthi, a postdoc in Cölfen's lab, therefore set to work looking for an alternative basic building block to develop an environmentally compatible mineral plastic that retains the intriguing properties of the original material. And they found what they were looking for. In their current publication in the journal Small Methods, the Konstanz chemists present the next generation of their mineral plastic. Instead of petroleum-based ingredients such as polyacrylic acid, they now use polyglutamic acid. This natural biopolymer is readily available in large quantities and can even be obtained sustainably, for example from biotechnological production using microorganisms. A variety of microorganisms that already exist in the environment can degrade polyglutamic acid. "Our new mineral plastic has the same positive properties as the previous one, but has the decisive advantage that its basic building block -- polyglutamic acid -- can be produced with the help of microorganisms and is completely biodegradable," says Helmut Cölfen. Support from biologists In order to prove that this biodegradability also applies to the new mineral plastic itself and not just to its individual components, the chemists enlisted the support of David Schleheck and postdoc Harry Lerner from the Department of Biology at the University of Konstanz. "Helmut Cölfen has created a new type of mineral plastic in his laboratory, and our task now was to make it disappear again with the help of microorganisms," says Schleheck with a smile. In degradation experiments, the biologists were able to show that microorganisms found in forest soils, for example, began metabolizing the mineral plastic after just a few days. After only 32 days, the microorganisms had completely degraded the plastic. So the researchers have actually succeeded in making the mineral plastic with all its positive material properties now also sustainable and biodegradable.

Organicell Announces Matt Sinnreich as CEO

MIAMI, FL / ACCESSWIRE / July 26, 2022 / Organicell Regenerative Medicine, Inc. (OTCQB:OCEL), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company principally focusing on the development of innovative biological therapeutics in the extracellular vesicle space, announced today that the board of directors has appointed Matt Sinnreich as Chief Operating Officer and acting CEO. Sinnreich will replace Mr. Albert Mitrani, the founder of Organicell and CEO since September 2019, who is stepping down to serve as the Company's EVP of sales. Sinnreich, an early-stage investor in Organicell, helped fund the company's audit in 2020 to bring their financials current and was instrumental in the creation of their flagship brand: Zofin. Sinnreich comes from a development and entrepreneurial background. His track record includes profitable corporate exits, successful real estate transactions, and owner-operated residential and commercial real estate developments. Sinnreich has closed tens of millions in various financing instruments including everything from traditional real estate debt, fundraising for private companies, to collateralized derivatives and swaps. Sinnreich is an early-stage investor in the ready to drink tequila-seltzer, Mamitas and owns a minority interest in Craig's Vegan Ice Cream. Sinnreich graduated from the University of Miami Business School in 2008 where he also won the 2008 Rothschild Business Plan Competition. In response to his appointment, Sinnreich stated: "I am humbled and grateful that the board and new investment groups have entrusted me to take Organicell to the next level. I believe that exosomes are a key element in the future of medicine and this company has the team to make that a reality. Albert and Mari Mitrani are pioneers in this space. They have assembled an incredible science team, developed an amazing product line, and built top tier production labs. All the ingredients are here for this company to become a major success. As COO and acting CEO I will be focused on creating additional financing vehicles, growing the awareness of our products and brand, and most importantly maintaining an honest, transparent relationship with the shareholders. My priorities right now are to work with our CFO, Ian Bothwell, to build out Organicell's core executive team. I will pull from my network to surround myself with the best and brightest in the medical and financial arenas. I plan to create a robust ERP and data management system and to set up additional financing vehicles to fund our clinical trials. I will also be taking to market Organicell's newest biological product: Patient Pure X™ (PPX™). PPX™ is Organicell's first autologous product that is a non-manipulated biologic that concentrates a patient's exosomes from their own peripheral blood. In plain English: we can concentrate a patient's exosomes from their own blood. Organicell's science team and researchers are currently conducting studies to prove PPX's effectiveness on pain, hair loss, its potential for aesthetic uses, and surgical recovery. Organicell's products have shown promising results in the early-stage data that has been collected. Once the company has the adequate data from our clinical trials to make the claims we are studying - I believe this company will be a disrupter in the biotech industry."
