🌟 Exciting breakthrough in cancer treatment! Reglagene, Inc. has received an exclusive orphan drug designation (ODD) from the FDA for RGN6024, an innovative therapy for glioblastoma, one of the most aggressive forms of brain cancer. 🧠🎗️ 🔬 RGN6024 stands out because it can cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB), a crucial challenge in treating brain diseases. This orally administered therapy attacks cancer cells directly by disrupting the function of tubulin, a protein essential for cell structure and movement. 🙌 This designation is a significant milestone as it brings hope to patients, offering a new potential treatment that can be taken at home, reducing the need for invasive procedures and minimizing side effects commonly associated with cancer treatments. 🎯 With the FDA’s orphan drug status, Reglagene will benefit from incentives like tax credits and marketing exclusivity, speeding up the development of RGN6024. This not only advances treatment for glioblastoma but also opens possibilities for addressing metastatic cancers in the brain from breast, lung, and melanoma. 💡 Reglagene is also exploring the potential of its tubulin-targeting agents in treating neuro-inflammatory diseases and ocular conditions like age-related macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy. 👀 Meet Reglagene at the Biotechnology Innovation Organization convention in San Diego, and learn more about their journey in transforming cancer treatment and potentially improving outcomes for patients with some of the most challenging medical conditions. #CancerResearch #Glioblastoma #BrainCancer #InnovationInMedicine #FDAApproval #OrphanDrugDesignation #Healthcare #MedicalScience #Reglagene #FightCancer #CancerTherapy #Biotech #BIO2024 Texas Medical Center Innovation Factory https://lnkd.in/eBKNZ_vr
🌟 Hope is on the horizon! The End Brain Cancer Initiative (EBCI) is teaming up with SonALAsense, CAI challenge winner, to offer a groundbreaking clinical trial for children battling Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG). The trial utilizes Sonodynamic Therapy (SDT), a noninvasive approach combining SONALA-001 and MR-guided focused ultrasound to target brain tumors more safely and effectively. 🧠💡 🔬 This innovative therapy utilizes the properties of Aminolevulinic Acid (ALA), which causes cancer cells to glow pink under blue light, allowing for precise targeting through photodynamic therapy (PDT). This trial represents a significant advance in pediatric cancer treatment, potentially offering a new lifeline to young patients. 🏥 Trial sites are active at the University of California San Francisco, Children’s National in Washington DC, and Nicklaus Children’s Hospital in Miami. 🌍 EBCI is committed to transforming the landscape of brain cancer treatment, ensuring every child has access to the best care and innovations. Join us in supporting their mission and spreading the word about this life-changing research. Together, we can bring hope and healing to countless families. 💪💚 #EndBrainCancer #BrainCancerAwareness #DIPG #PediatricCancer #CancerResearch #SonodynamicTherapy #InnovativeTreatment #HealthForAll #NonprofitSupport #FightCancer #ClinicalTrialsDay https://lnkd.in/gC7BBHvU
🌟 What's cooking on this #WorldBakingDay? FreePower, CAI challenge winner, launched a game-changing wireless Qi charging technology embedded right into countertops. Say goodbye to the clutter of charging cables and hello to seamless, sleek kitchen design. 🛠️✨ 📱 FreePower for Countertop can charge up to three devices simultaneously at up to 15W each, and it works with all major brands. Just drop your device anywhere on the designated area, and voilà—charging starts automatically! 🔮 The magic happens thanks to a "Charging Halo" that lights up to show the active area—subtle, customizable, and only there when you need it. Wave your hand to wake it up, and when not in use, your countertop is just a countertop. 🤫 One catch? It's not silent. The built-in fan makes its presence known, which might be a factor to consider depending on where you plan to install it. But the trade-off is a clutter-free, cable-free life. 💡 Ideal for those remodeling or in the process of building, this isn’t your usual plug-and-play tech—it’s integrated by a fabricator into stone or wood countertops, designed to blend seamlessly into your space. 🌍 Dreaming of a home where technology meets design without the mess? FreePower could be just the solution. While it’s not available off-the-shelf yet and pricing is still under wraps, this technology represents a significant leap towards a more integrated, stylish home environment. #KBIS2023 #HomeInnovation #SmartHome #WirelessCharging #KitchenDesign #TechTrends #FreePower #SeamlessDesign #FutureHome https://lnkd.in/graAt9yP
