UC San Diego First to Test Cancer Drugs in Space Using Private Astronaut Mission

UC San Diego First to Test Cancer Drugs in Space Using Private Astronaut Mission. The latest space experiments will explore leukemia, breast cancer and colorectal cancer, and also monitor astronauts’ stem cell health over time. On May 21, 2023, scientists at the University of California San Diego Sanford Stem Cell Institute launched several new nanobioreactor experiments onto the International Space Station (ISS) via the second Axiom Space Private Astronaut Mission, Axiom Mission 2 (Ax-2). The latest experiments expand their research on human stem cell aging, inflammation, and cancer in low Earth orbit. Increasing evidence shows that microgravity conditions can accelerate aging, inflammation, and immune dysfunction in human stem cells. Understanding this process is not only helpful for keeping astronauts healthy — it could also teach us how to better treat cancer on Earth. During Axiom Space’s first Private Astronaut Mission, Axiom Mission 1 (Ax-1), the researchers discovered that in low Earth orbit, cancer stem cells appeared to regenerate more easily and become more resistant to standard therapies. The Ax-2 mission will now determine if two inhibitory drugs can reverse the regeneration in an organoid model of breast cancer. Another line of experiments will track the health of astronauts’ blood stem cells before, during, and after spaceflight to evaluate the effects of the space environment on stem cell aging, immune function, and cancer stem cell generation. These projects are part of the NASA-funded Integrated Space Stem Cell Orbital Research (ISSCOR) Center, a collaboration between UC San Diego Sanford Stem Cell Institute, JM Foundation, and Axiom Space. The experiments will take place over 10 days in orbit, with subsequent data collection and analysis performed at UC San Diego. “Space is a uniquely stressful environment,” said Catriona Jamieson, MD, PhD, professor at UC San Diego School of Medicine, Koman Family Presidential Endowed Chair in Cancer Research at UC San Diego Health and director of the Sanford Stem Cell Institute. “By conducting these experiments in low Earth orbit, we are able to understand mechanisms of cancer evolution in a compressed time frame and inform the development of new cancer stem cell inhibitory strategies.” UC San Diego scientists will evaluate astronauts’ blood stem cells before, during, and after spaceflight. Photo by UC San Diego Health Sciences The findings will inform the development of predictive models for cancer and immune dysfunction-related diseases and could lead to the development of new drugs to prevent or treat these conditions during space exploration and here on Earth. “We are pleased to have the opportunity with our private astronaut missions to advance this important work, aligned with the White House Cancer Moonshot initiatives,” said Christian Maender, executive vice president of in-space solutions at Axiom Space. “Our mission is to improve life on Earth and foster the possibilities beyond by building and operating the world’s first commercial space station. Together with the Sanford Stem Cell Institute team, we are building history.”

Cancer in Low Earth Orbit

In UC San Diego’s initial experiments under the ISSCOR program, the researchers sent blood stem cells aboard the ISS across four launches and found that several pre-cancerous markers were elevated after one month in space. Of particular note was the activation of APOBEC3C and ADAR1, two enzymes that edit DNA and RNA, respectively, and promote cancer proliferation and immune evasion. The researchers will now build on these initial findings during the Ax-2 mission, led by Jamieson and her collaborators Sheldon Morris, MD, Ph.D., and Ludmil Alexandrov, Ph.D., both associate professors at UC San Diego School of Medicine. In the latest launch, the scientists have sent tumor organoid models of leukemia, colorectal, and breast cancer into low Earth orbit, where the microgravity conditions will accelerate insights into how cancers adopt stem cell properties that make them resistant to standard therapy, including dormancy, regeneration, and longevity. The researchers will also test two ADAR1 inhibitors, Fedratinib and Rebecsinib, to see if the drugs can reverse the process of malignant regeneration and potentially prevent cancer progression. These experiments mark the start of a developing program at the Sanford Stem Cell Institute to expand stem cell translational research and drug discovery in space.

Space Hematopoietic Stem Cell Aging

A second longitudinal study will monitor the health of astronauts’ stem cells over time to learn how they are affected by spaceflight. Blood samples will be collected from the crew members before, during, and immediately after the mission, with up to five years of annual follow-ups after the trip. The scientists will assess the activity of DNA and RNA-editing enzymes such as APOBEC3C and ADAR1 in the blood stem cells and cancer organoids. Dysregulation of these enzymes has been linked to immune dysfunction and potential pre-cancer changes, so understanding when and how they become perturbed in the astronauts will allow researchers to develop potential countermeasures. “With the growing support of NASA, philanthropic funders and our partners in commercial spaceflight, this is just the beginning of a long line of exciting and impactful health science advances that will be enabled by space,” said Jamieson.

[genevieveetguy]

- You’re mad. Come on. Don’t be mad at me. - You’ve got all the friends, and you’ve got all the money. Did you have to do that to me in front of some dumb bitch to prove you got all the women? - I didn’t know that was gonna happen. Honest to God. She screws anyone. - But me. Everybody but me. - Is that my fault? Don’t get mad at me ‘cause some dumb hooker turned your down.  - She’s your girl. She’s not a hooker. You don’t pay for that. - Mikey, she’s a psycho. You gotta tell her you love her. You give her a few bucks, you tell her it’s a present. It thought it will be interesting for you. - Bullshit. You knew what would happen. - Honest to God, Mikey, I didn’t. I wouldn’t do anything to hurt you on purpose. I wouldn’t do anything to make you look bad. You’re like my family, I love you. - I think you’d make your family look bad on purpose. ‘Cause I don’t think you love anyone but you.

Home/Road Series Continues To Be Tough

Splitting Cat Hairs

Away

In Austin, the Wingnuts were able to snap a seson high 8 game losing streak. The Nuts were able to take a big 3 run lead in the 3rd, and Scott Erickson would hold the lead through 5. In the sixth the struggling Stan Bahnsen would give up a tying run to the AlyCats making it look bleak. However in the a few key singles would end up scoring 3 runs. Thad Tillotson would make it interesting in the 9th, but escape with only allowing one run to close for the save. Wichita wins 7-5.

The Alycats would just score and score and score, in almost every innings and the Nuts would only answer in the fourth to tie it up. In the bottom of the 5th, newly acquired starter Rich Hand would allow another 3 runs, and that was all Austin needed to win. Out of the 5 pitchers used in the game only Jeff Musselman was the only one not to give up a run. Musselman was also freshly acquired. Wingnuts lose 9-2.

Home

The first game back home was a lot closer than the score indicates. Clay Kirby and Bill Hallahan, pitched gems for their teams. Both giving up 1 run in the first and shutting down the opposing lineups. This meant the game was left to the bullpen to provide the final outcome. And as you could expect the Wingnuts bullpen faltered. Chan Ho Park allow 3 runs as he was trying to get the final 3 out of the game. Horacio Pina would finish out the inning giving up an additional run. The bottom of the 9th for the Nuts would only produce 1 run and the Nuts would go on to lose. Nuts lose to the score of 6-2.

Enough was enough for the Nuts, who were holding a 1/2 game lead over the Silver Sox in the Pacific division. Wes Parker & Hubie Brooks lead of the second with back to back jacks. This gave Sheldon Jones enough comfort to pitch a good game. Of course tacking on another 8, heading into the 7th help even more. Although the game was out of reach it is still hard for the fans seeing the bullpen give up runs, this time it was Scott Ruskins. Nuts win this one 13-2.

Nothing to Bank On

Home

As Austin made there way out, the Bankees come in. Well, all of the offense the Wingnuts shelled out in the game before, went missing in this one. AJ Burnett would pitch a solid game but the Bankees pitching staff combined shut out the Nuts. Wingnuts lose 3-0.

Scott Erickson was cruising through the Bankees line up going 7 1/3 with out giving up a run. However enter the bullpen Stan Bahnsen would allow a run to score that was charged to Erickson and 3 more. Thus giving the Bankees the lead. The Nuts would fight back and score 3 runs and take the lead back. Thad Tillotson the All Star would give up 3 and blow the save. It would go to the 16th inning before the winner was proven and the Bankees score 2 runs to win. Wingnuts lose 8-6 in 16 innings.

Away

After a long extra inning game and traveling, both teams were wipe out offensely. Benefiting both starters, however Mike Sirotka would be the one to allow the only run of the game. Wingnuts lose 1-0.

The Wingnuts return and had to take at least one game of the 4 game series. They provide with Rich Hand with more support in his second outing as a Wingnuts. Hand did very well in his 6 2/3 innnings. Luckily the Wingnuts kept on tacking on runs, to cover up the bullpen inabilities to close games out. Wingnuts win 6-3.

Notes

The Wingnuts made a move to try and improve the offense, bring in the slugger Kevin Maas from the division rivals the Washington Generals. Also in the deal, the Nuts acquired Rich Hand & lefty Jeff Musslemen. Going to the Generals was long time Nuts Fred Sanford, Jim Corsi, and 1B Sean Casey.

Although the Wingnuts recruited some more help, especially in the bullpen. Within the 3 game losing streak to the Bankees the Nuts lost first place and could fall to third place in the division.

Looking Ahead

The Nuts schedule seems even harder than before. The Wingnuts will host the Woodstock Charlie Browns, and then have the Fayetteville Flibbertigibets come. The path to winning is looking very unlikely. They have to just win a series to help their chances.

Roger Berlind, 90, Dies; Broadway Impresario Who Amassed 25 Tonys Roger Berlind, who produced or co-produced greater than 100 performs and musicals on Broadway, together with such vital and box-office hits as “The E-book of Mormon,” “Expensive Evan Hansen,” “Metropolis of Angels” and revivals of “Guys and Dolls” and “Kiss Me, Kate,” died on Dec. 18 at his residence in Manhattan. He was 90. His household stated the trigger was cardiopulmonary arrest. Throughout a four-decade profession within the theater, Mr. Berlind backed a few of the most unique work on Broadway and amassed an astonishing 25 Tony Awards, one of many largest hauls on document. (Hal Prince, one other prodigious Tony-winning producer, collected 21.) Mr. Berlind helped convey buoyant musicals to the stage, just like the smash 1992 revival of “Guys and Dolls” with Nathan Lane, in addition to refined literate dramas, like the unique 1984 manufacturing of “The Actual Factor,” Tom Stoppard’s dazzling exploration of the character of affection and honesty. “The Actual Factor” swept the Tonys, successful for finest play and finest director (Mike Nichols) and garnering high appearing awards for Jeremy Irons, Glenn Shut and Christine Baranski. His path to Broadway was oblique. In a position to play the piano by ear, he fancied himself a songwriter, however his dream of creating a dwelling that approach fell flat and he went to work on Wall Road. He was a companion at a brokerage agency when tragedy struck: His spouse and three of his 4 youngsters had been killed in an airliner crash at Kennedy Worldwide Airport. Inside days, he resigned from his agency. “The entire thought of constructing a enterprise and making a living didn’t make sense anymore,” he informed The New York Occasions in 1998. “There was no extra financial motivation.” After a interval within the wilderness, he discovered his strategy to Broadway, which helped him rebuild his life and set up a complete new profession. “The numerous factor about Roger is that he made an unbelievable turnaround,” Brook Berlind, his second spouse, stated in a cellphone interview. “His life was totally bifurcated by the accident,” she stated. “There was Act I and Act II. I don’t suppose many different individuals might have gone on to such success after such disaster.” Success on Broadway got here slowly. Mr. Berlind’s first manufacturing, in 1976, was the disastrous “Rex,” a Richard Rodgers musical (with lyrics by Sheldon Harnick) about Henry VIII, which the Occasions theater critic Clive Barnes stated “has nearly every little thing not going for it.” Because it occurred, the music of Mr. Rodgers bookended Mr. Berlind’s profession. His final present, of which he was one in all a number of producers, was the darkly reimagined Tony-winning 2019 revival of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s “Oklahoma!” (That present made Broadway historical past when the actress Ali Stroker grew to become the primary one who makes use of a wheelchair to win a Tony.) After “Rex,” Mr. Berlind co-produced six different exhibits earlier than he had his first hit with the unique 1980 manufacturing of “Amadeus,” during which a mediocre composer burns with jealousy over the genius of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. The play, written by Peter Shaffer, directed by Peter Corridor and starring Ian McKellen and Tim Curry, took residence a number of Tonys, together with finest play. Two extra successes rapidly adopted: “Refined Women,” a 1981 revue with music by Duke Ellington; and “9,” a 1982 musical primarily based on the Fellini movie “8½” a few tortured movie director going through skilled and romantic crises. Alongside the way in which had been loads of flops. Producing on Broadway is all the time dangerous, with no surefire system for successful. It grew to become much more difficult within the late twentieth century, as theater individuals migrated to Hollywood, labor and promoting prices soared and excessive ticket costs discouraged audiences. Getting exhibits off the bottom required an increasing number of producers to pool their assets, and even then they had been unlikely to recoup their investments. Certainly one of Mr. Berlind’s achievements was staying within the sport. Regardless of the challenges, he took probabilities on exhibits as a result of he believed in them, and since he might afford to lose as usually as he gained. “I do know it’s not price it economically,” he informed The Occasions in 1998. “However I really like theater.” His successes included “Proof,” “Doubt,” “The Historical past Boys,” the 2012 revival of “Demise of a Salesman” with Philip Seymour Hoffman and the 2017 revival of “Howdy, Dolly!” with Bette Midler. Scott Rudin, who produced about 30 exhibits with Mr. Berlind, stated that Mr. Berlind was propelled by “monumental fortitude and persistence.” “He was not dissuaded by the obstacles that dissuaded different individuals,” Mr. Rudin stated in an electronic mail. “He had monumental positivity, which is way, rather more uncommon than you would possibly suppose.” That grew to become evident after the terrorist assaults of Sept. 11, 2001, when Broadway went darkish for 48 hours, an indication of the financial uncertainty that hung over the town. On the time, Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani urged theaters to reopen rapidly, and so they did. However a half-dozen exhibits closed, and one on the verge of doing so was “Kiss Me, Kate,” during which Mr. Berlind had been deeply concerned and of which he was enormously fond. He was enthralled with Cole Porter’s music, and every little thing within the present had clicked. The winner of 5 Tonys, together with finest revival of a musical, “Kate” had been operating for practically two years and was not scheduled to shut till Dec. 30, 2001. However due to a pointy drop in ticket gross sales, the manufacturing was going to shut early. A cut-off date of Sept. 23 was introduced. Simply earlier than the curtain rose on what was purported to have been the ultimate efficiency, Mr. Berlind, a modest man who evinced little of the showmanship typical within the theater, took to the stage. He held the closing discover in his hand and ripped it up. “The present will go on,” he declared, to an already emotional viewers. The forged and crew had agreed to quit 25 p.c of their pay and to donate one other 25 p.c to purchase tickets to the present for rescue employees. The transfer allowed “Kate” to maintain operating till its scheduled Dec. 30 closing. “That was my Merrick second,” Mr. Berlind later informed The Guardian of London, referring to David Merrick, one in all Broadway’s famously outsize showmen. The Guardian went on to reward Mr. Berlind’s exuberant London manufacturing of “Kate,” which opened that October, as “an emblem of the indomitability and charm underneath strain of a neighborhood, certainly a metropolis, that has been reeling since 11 September.” Roger Stuart Berlind was born on June 27, 1930, in Brooklyn to Peter Berlind, a hospital administrator, and Mae (Miller) Berlind, an novice painter who gave portray classes whereas elevating her 4 sons. The household moved to Woodmere, on Lengthy Island, when Roger was 3. He attended Woodmere Academy and went on to Princeton, the place he majored in English. His campus life revolved across the theater. He joined the Triangle Membership, which performs student-written comedies, and Theatre Intime, a student-run theatrical group. Years later, in 1998, he donated $3.5 million to construct the 350-seat Roger S. Berlind Theater as a part of an enlargement of Princeton’s McCarter Theater. After graduating in 1952, he joined the Military and served within the Counterintelligence Corps in Germany. At one level he was on a troop ship with Buck Henry, the comedian actor and author who died this yr, and the 2 usually created exhibits for the troopers. When Mr. Berlind returned to New York in 1954, he was decided to change into a songwriter. “He liked the big-band music of the ’40s, he might play nearly any tune from the American songbook and he had a fantastic reminiscence for lyrics,” his son William stated in a cellphone interview. His personal tunes ran to the straightforward and nostalgic, as mirrored by their titles, “Lemon Drop Girlfriend” and “Isn’t It a Rainbow Day?” amongst them. However Tin Pan Alley was uninterested, and, needing a job, Mr. Berlind was pointed by pals to Wall Road. “I had by no means had an economics course in faculty,” he informed Playbill in 2005, “and I had 26 or 28 interviews earlier than anybody would rent me.” He labored for 4 years at an funding home, then in 1960 co-founded a brokerage agency, Carter, Berlind, Potoma & Weill, which went by varied iterations till it was acquired by American Specific in 1981. His companions alongside the way in which included Sanford I. Weill, who grew to become chairman and chief govt of Citigroup, and Arthur Levitt Jr., the longer term chairman of the Securities and Alternate Fee. It was a heady time for Mr. Berlind. However on June 24, 1975, his world stopped. He had gone to the airport that day to fulfill his spouse, Helen Polk (Clark) Berlind, and three of their youngsters — Helen, 12; Peter, 9; and Clark, 6 — who had been returning to New York from New Orleans after visiting Helen Berlind’s mom in Mississippi. Whereas on strategy to Kennedy in a extreme storm, the Boeing 727, Japanese Air Strains Flight 66, was swept down by a wind shear and crashed, killing 113 of the 124 individuals on board, together with Mr. Berlind’s household. Their son William, 2, was at residence in Manhattan along with his nurse on the time. As he grew up, he had unresolved points round what had occurred. “Roger was so broken by the accident that he didn’t spend as a lot time with William on this topic as he might have,” Ms. Berlind, who married Mr. Berlind in 1979, stated. Lastly, a psychiatrist informed Mr. Berlind that he wanted to reply William’s questions, even when he requested the identical factor time and again. Ultimately, this proved therapeutic for each father and son. “He was current and robust for me,” stated William Berlind, a former reporter at The New York Observer and author for The New York Occasions Journal, who adopted his father to Broadway and collaborated with him on a number of exhibits. “He was marked by the tragedy,” he added, “nevertheless it didn’t eat him, and he persevered.” Along with his spouse and son, Mr. Berlind is survived by two granddaughters and a brother, Alan. In time, pals related Mr. Berlind with individuals within the theater, and he was quickly immersing himself in the complete strategy of placing on a present. He had a fame for usually being extra aware than many producers about not interfering with the inventive course of. However Mr. Berlind all the time insisted that the work he backed have benefit. Whereas he stored a chilly eye on the underside line, he may very well be seduced by sheer artistry. “He had been a tricky and profitable businessman, however in his theater life he was besotted by expertise, and that’s what he invested in,” Rocco Landesman, who produced “Guys and Dolls,” “Kiss Me, Kate” and “Proof” with him, stated in an electronic mail. “He liked his flops nearly as a lot as his hits,” Mr. Landesman added. “And every time one in all his exhibits closed, Roger was ‘accessible’ once more.” Supply hyperlink #Amassed #Berlind #Broadway #Dies #Impresario #Roger #Tonys
