U.S. reaches historic milestone of 1 million organ transplants

United Network for Organ Sharing

On this day, the United States achieved its 1 millionth organ transplant. This historic accomplishment was confirmed by United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS), the nonprofit powering the U.S. organ donation and transplantation system under contract with the federal government and in partnership with the nationwide organ donation and transplant community. Of the million U.S. transplants performed, more than half have occurred since 2007, a sustained trend of system-wide increases made possible by the ongoing expansion of more equitable organ allocation policies, an increasing focus on non-traditional donors, collaborative efforts to increase donation, the continuous evolution of organ preservation techniques and other scientific breakthroughs. “The organ donation and transplant community has made lifesaving history together,” said Jerry McCauley, M.D., president of the UNOS Board of Directors. "We invite donor families, transplant recipients, candidates, living organ donors, physicians, professionals, volunteers, advocates and others touched by transplant to honor and celebrate the gifts that made this important milestone possible.” The first successful transplant took place in Boston in 1954. Over 41,000 transplants were performed nationwide in 2021, the most ever in a single year, more than double the number from 25 years ago and the 9th consecutive record-setting year for deceased donor transplants. "Achieving 1 million transplants is a tribute to the hard work and dedication of the donation and transplant community," said UNOS CEO Brian Shepard. "While one million is just a number, each one of those million is a person restored to their families and communities. While we celebrate, honor and reflect, the work continues to save even more lives, increase the effectiveness of our high-performing national system, and reach the next million." Continual system-wide expansion and improvement are also marked by greater equity, especially in kidney allocation, which accounts for more than 60 percent of total transplants. In 2021, 58 percent of all kidney recipients were patients of color – a 25 percent increase from 1988 driven by multiple policy and performance improvements, including the elimination of race-based calculations used to measure kidney function. UNOS is inviting the transplant community – comprised of thousands of organ donation and transplant professionals, patients, donors, family members and volunteers – to collaborate in pursuit of the next million transplants. Living It Forward is a national initiative led by UNOS in partnership with the nation’s organ donation and transplant community to further accelerate the pace of lifesaving transplantation while commemorating so many lives saved, recognizing those still waiting, and remembering those we have lost. Visit LivingItForward.org to read stories about some of the people behind the 1 million and see how the gift of life has allowed them to begin living it forward. UNOS encourages everyone to become part of our community by registering as an organ donor. One person can save up to eight lives through organ donation and change the lives of as many as 75 through tissue donation. Because only two percent of people die in a way that makes organ donation possible, the need is great. More than 100,000 people remain on the transplant waitlist. Please register today at RegisterMe.org/LivingItForward. About UNOS United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) is the mission-driven non-profit serving as the nation’s transplant system under contract with the federal government. We lead the network of transplant hospitals, organ procurement organizations, and thousands of volunteers who are dedicated to honoring the gifts of life entrusted to us and to making lifesaving transplants possible for patients in need. Working together, we leverage data and advances in science and technology to continuously strengthen the system, increase the number of organs recovered and the number of transplants performed, and ensure patients across the nation have equitable access to transplant.

Has The Controversy Around Falsified Alzheimer's Research Impacted The Path To Finding The Cure?

NervGen Pharma

Finding the cure to Alzheimer’s has confounded researchers for decades. As a disease, Alzheimer’s is highly complex and has a wide range of symptoms, including sleeplessness, wandering, agitation, anxiety, aggression, restlessness and depression. Because there is no cure for Alzheimer’s to date, treatments are focused on easing symptoms. There are a variety of treatments that can slow down how quickly the disease gets worse, and that can improve brain performance for a period of time, but invariably the disease gets worse, and patients progress to severe disease. Hope for Alzheimer’s Patients? Despite the lack of a cure, the National Institute of Health recently published an article describing several medications in late-stage clinical trials that could relieve those with Alzheimer’s. In this article, the most hopeful drug mentioned was aducanumab. Aducanumab was developed by Biogen Inc. (NASDAQ: BIIB) and helps to reduce amyloid deposits in the brain. The ability to reduce amyloid deposits made aducanumab an extremely promising development in Alzheimer’s because research demonstrated that Alzheimer’s disease is associated with the production and buildup of amyloid deposits in the brain. Despite treating what researchers believed to be a root cause of Alzheimer’s, aducanumab did not demonstrate the ability to impact clinical symptoms or outcomes such as worsening of cognitive abilities or dementia. What Was The Problem With The Alzheimer’s Study? Earlier this year, in an article published in Science, Dr. Matthew Schragg suggested that research in one of the primary studies on how amyloid deposits are associated with Alzheimer’s disease used falsified evidence. The study in question was published in 2006 and has been cited in over 2,200 scientific papers since then. Its title, “A specific amyloid-beta protein assembly in the brain impairs memory,” left little to the imagination. For the next 1½ decades, this article would be one of the foundational resources for the amyloid hypothesis and Alzheimer’s research. Unfortunately, Schragg’s discovery of potential image manipulation in the 2006 study suggests that Sylvain Lesné and the rest of the researchers involved in the study may have altered images to make them support their hypothesis. In response to Schragg’s observation, science integrity consultant Dr. Elisabeth Bik said that the 2006 study in question led to a significant amount of wasted research money and effort and has generated a lot of false hope for patients. Although the final determination on the value of targeting amyloid is still up for some debate, there is no doubt that the data led to an over emphasis on research on the amyloid hypothesis to the detriment of other approaches. While there are currently drugs like Donepezil, produced by Pfizer Inc. (NYSE: PFE) and Eisai Co. Ltd. (OTCMKTS: ESALY), that helps some of the symptoms associated with dementia, there is still no cure for dementia to date. Where Does Alzheimer’s Research Go From Here? Biotech companies are researching alternative Alzheimer’s treatments that do not revolve around the research on amyloid deposits as the root of Alzheimer’s. These companies are opening up new and promising targets (pathways) to treating the disease that hadn’t been pursued in the past given the potentially flawed belief that amyloid deposits were the cause of the disease. One such company is NervGen Pharma Corp. (TSX-V: NGEN) (OTCQX: NGENF). NervGen’s technology is focused on mechanisms to repair damage to the brain and spinal cord. When there is damage to the nervous system, whether by injury or disease, there is a build-up of a class of chemicals called chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans (CSPGs). CSPGs play a key role in inhibiting the brain's own natural repair mechanisms. NervGen has developed a molecule, called NVG-291, that interferes with the inhibitory effects of the CSPGs, and that promotes the brain’s repair mechanisms, with some very dramatic results seen in preclinical disease models such as spinal cord injury and stroke. Of particular relevance to Alzheimer’s is research that has found an association between CSPGs and progression of the disease. The study looked at the levels of CSPGs in the brain in healthy aged subjects, patients with mild cognitive impairment, and patients with Alzheimer’s disease and found that the highest levels of CSPGs in the brain were found in Alzheimer’s patients, and the lowest levels were found in the healthy aged subjects. Some preclinical studies have found that breaking down CSPG deposits may help improve Alzheimer’s symptoms. Other studies have suggested that by removing the cellular receptor that CSPGs bind to, a protein known as tyrosine phosphatase sigma, may help improve cognitive function for Alzheimer’s patients. In response to these studies, NervGen says it developed NVG-291 to relieve the inhibitory effects of CSPGs, improving the function of neurons and strengthening the connection between neurons. While falsified data in major Alzheimer’s research is a legitimate cause for confusion and anger, it should not impact the tenacity with which researchers are looking for the cure. As NervGen CEO Paul Brennan put it, “The findings of image manipulation has no relationship at all with the science supporting the use of NVG-291 in Alzheimer’s disease, and in fact, it underlines the importance of taking a diversified approach to trying to solve it.” This post contains sponsored advertising content.

Biocidin Botanicals™ Launches Dentalcidin® Oral Care System, the First Dentaceutical™ Solution for Oral Microbiome Health

Biocidin Botanicals

Biocidin Botanicals ™, a pioneer in botanical supplements and microbiome health, announced today the launch of its two-step Dentalcidin ® Oral Care System. The system consists of the company’s reformulated and repackaged Dentalcidin® Oral Microbiome Toothpaste along with its Dentalcidin® LS Liposomal Rinse. Combining the toothpaste and oral rinse into a two-step system ensures comprehensive health benefits for customers. It also recognizes the science-backed connection between the oral microbiome and whole-body health. ( Learn more ) “We’re excited to take what we’ve learned over the past 30-plus years about microbiome health and apply it to the things we use every day, like toothpaste and mouth rinse,” said Rachel Fresco, L.Ac., Ph.D., Biocidin Botanicals’ Founder and Formulator. “Research continues to confirm that whole-body health starts in the mouth. These products are more than just toothpaste and mouthwash. We’ve coined a new term for it. They’re “Dentaceuticals ™” – natural dental formulations that improve the health of teeth and gums and ultimately support whole-body wellness. When used together, these products provide incredible health support!” Dentalcidin Oral Microbiome Toothpaste® has been available for several years. In response to customer feedback and keeping with the company’s sustainability goals, Biocidin Botanicals reformulated and repackaged the toothpaste this year, a decision that reflects its commitment to both people and planet. “As a company, we believe our choices matter,” Fresco said. “We care about our customers and listen to them. We also constantly evaluate our impact on the planet. That’s why we made the decision to reformulate the toothpaste to be 100% plant-based and to deliver it in a sleek, stand-up tube that is 100% recyclable. It’s easier to use and easier on the planet.” Both products in the Dentalcidin® Oral Care System are powered by the 18 botanical extracts and essential oils in Biocidin®, the company’s broad-spectrum, legacy formula. This clinically effective, evidence-based proprietary blend has been trusted by health professionals for over 32 years. Great Smokies Diagnostic Laboratories (now Genova Diagnostics) called it one of the most potent natural formulations they’ve ever analyzed. With other select botanicals providing added synergy and benefits, the entire system relies on a 100% natural, plant-based, and chemical-free ingredient list to give practitioners and consumers robust health benefits derived from the best botanical sources. The Dentalcidin® Oral Care System delivers the results usually associated with toothpaste and an oral rinse. It whitens teeth, freshens breath, and is gentle enough for sensitive teeth. But thanks to Biocidin Botanicals’ commitment to putting “Serious Science Behind Every Smile™,” its benefits go far beyond. Comprehensive university research, case studies, rigorous testing, and innovative formulation processes have resulted in a system with unique health benefits. The Dentalcidin® Oral Care System: Assists in removing oral biofilms (plaque) Utilizes liposomal technology for deeper penetration in the periodontal area* Supports gum and gingival health with targeted ingredients such as CoQ10, quercetin, clove, and myrrh* Provides tissue-soothing activity* Supports oral microbiome balance for whole-body health* Keeps teeth feeling clean and smooth all-day “This system really demonstrates the power of botanicals to support a balanced oral microbiome,” Fresco said. “Because oral health directly impacts systemic health, a balanced oral microbiome also supports whole-body health, including cognitive, respiratory, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, and joint health. But the reverse is also true. Poor oral health impacts more than just your mouth. That motivated us to develop something uniquely powerful, an innovative Dentaceutical solution.” Dentists, dental hygienists, and integrative and functional practitioners recommend Dentalcidin® toothpaste and oral rinse. Functional dentist Dr. Ariana Ebrahimian says of the products, “I highly recommend Biocidin Botanicals’ oral care products to my patients and use the liposomal rinse in our scaling procedures. They are incredibly effective at busting up harmful biofilms in the mouth and rebalancing the oral microbiome without the harsh side effects of chemicals.” The launch of Biocidin Botanicals’ Dentalcidin™ Oral Care System is a true breakthrough in oral care, bolstering the company’s position as a thought leader and innovator in the botanical supplements space. ABOUT BIOCIDIN BOTANICALS ™ Biocidin Botanicals™ is a leader in botanical supplements and a pioneer in microbiome health. Its legacy broad-spectrum botanical blend Biocidin® was formulated in 1989 in response to challenging health conditions related to microbial imbalances. More than 30 years later, the company offers a curated line of targeted support products to boost patient health.
