COVID-19 is a novel coronavirus, and the big unique challenge is not only is it a novel pathogen in humans, but many of the technologies being pursued for treatment are relatively novel, as well. No RNA vaccines have yet been approved by the FDA, so while vaccine developers are moving as quickly as possible, the process still must be very thorough
EL SEGUNDO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- NantKwest, Inc. (NASDAQ: NK) and ImmunityBio, Inc., clinical-stage immunotherapy companies within the NantWorks family of companies, today announced they are in active discussions with the U.S
SALT LAKE CITY, April 13, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Predictive Biology, a wholly owned subsidiary of Predictive Technology Group (OTC PINK: PRED) (Predictive or The Company), announced that on April 9th it submitted an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) application with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the immediate use of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) derived from umbilical cord tissue for the treatment of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS), secondary to SARS-CoV-2, coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The pandemic caused by COVID-19 has shown to develop into severe ARDS in 30% of hospitalized patients with a 22%-62% mortality rate (Murthy et al., 2020) for those requiring hospitalization in an intensive care unit.

Orgenesis to Acquire Tamir Biotechnology's Assets for $19 Million Orgenesis Inc. (ORGS) reported that it has signed a deal with Tamir Biotechnology Inc., under which the former will acquire the assets of the latter, including its broad spectrum antiviral platform ranpirnase. The deal is cash- and stock-based and is expected to be worth nearly $19 million.
Medicinal signaling cells (MSCs) previously known as Mesenchymal stem cells are multipotent stromal cells that can differentiate into a variety of cell types, including osteoblasts (bone cells), chondrocytes (cartilage cells), myocytes (muscle cells) and adipocytes (fat cells which give rise to marrow adipose tissue).[1][2] While the terms mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) and marrow stromal cell have been used interchangeably for many years, neither term is sufficiently descriptive: Mesenchymal stem cells are characterized morphologically by a small cell body with a few cell processes that are long and thin. The cell body contains a large, round nucleus with a prominent nucleolus, which is surrounded by finely dispersed chromatin particles, giving the nucleus a clear appearance. The remainder of the cell body contains a small amount of Golgi apparatus, rough endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria and polyribosomes
Abstract Stem cells are cells specialized cell, capable of renewing themselves through cell division and can differentiate into multi-lineage cells. These cells are categorized as embryonic stem cells (ESCs), induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and adult stem cells. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are adult stem cells which can be isolated from human and animal sources

A recent pilot study in China in which seven COVID-19 patients received intravenous infusions of donor mesenchymal stem cellsmultipotent cells thought to have immunomodulatory capacitiesindicates that the intervention was safe, and that the approach may improve patient outcomes. While all seven patients recovered, scientists are mixed in their opinions on the logic behind the approach and how well it truly performed
