Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative pathology covering about 70% of all cases of dementia. It is associated with neuroinflammation and neuronal cell death, which are involved in disease progression. There is a lack of effective therapies, and halting this process represents a therapeutic challenge.

Article Synopsis
  • - Muscle disorders caused by tendon issues lead to reduced muscle function and atrophy, and Pulsed Electromagnetic Fields (PEMFs) may help improve tendon structure and muscle recovery.
  • - A study on rats with induced Achilles tendinopathy showed that PEMF therapy resulted in significant metabolic changes, improving NAD signaling, ATP production, and enhancing the function of proteins related to muscle recovery.
  • - The research demonstrated that PEMF treatment not only increased antioxidant protein levels but also restored important signaling proteins like PGC1alpha and YAP, and upregulated slow myosin isoforms, facilitating faster physiological recovery of muscle tissue.

Articular cartilage injuries are a common source of joint pain and dysfunction. As articular cartilage is avascular, it exhibits a poor intrinsic healing capacity for self-repair. Clinically, osteochondral grafts are used to surgically restore the articular surface following injury.

The introduction of new therapeutics requires validation of Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP)-grade manufacturing including suitable quality controls. This is challenging for Advanced Therapy Medicinal Products (ATMP) with personalized batches. We have developed a person-alized, cell-based gene therapy to treat age-related macular degeneration and established a vali-dation strategy of the GMP-grade manufacture for the ATMP; manufacturing and quality control were challenging due to a low cell number, batch-to-batch variability and short production duration.
