☆ Here are Oppenheimer's top stock picks heading into July
  + stars: | 2024-06-25 | by ( Sean Conlon | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +3 min
Oppenheimer unveiled its top stock ideas heading into a new trading month, all of which are seen outperforming over the next 12 months in the market's current conditions. While Oppenheimer has a price target at $75 for the stock, implying about 8.9% upside from Monday's close, JPMorgan is even more bullish. With a $116 price target, Oppenheimer sees similar gains still ahead. Oppenheimer has its price target set at $2,000, which implies a 25.6% increase from Monday's close. On Monday, it hiked Broadcom's price target to $2,150 and said the buy-rated stock is a top pick.

☆ Grandmother Becomes Second Patient to Receive Kidney From Gene-Edited Pig
  + stars: | 2024-04-24 | by ( Roni Caryn Rabin | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: 1 min
A severely ill 54-year-old woman earlier this month became the second person to receive a kidney transplanted from a genetically modified pig, surgeons at NYU Langone Health in New York announced on Wednesday. The patient, who had both heart failure and kidney failure, was given the organ on April 12, just eight days after receiving a mechanical heart pump. Surgical teams at NYU Langone carried out the two procedures over the course of nine days. The kidney came from a genetically engineered pig provided by United Therapeutics Corporation, a biotech company. The pig carried a gene for producing a sugar called alpha-gal that had been “knocked out,” or blocked.

☆ Surgeons Improve Function of Kidneys Transplanted From Genetically Altered Pigs

A number of studies last year demonstrated that pig kidneys that had been transplanted into brain-dead individuals made urine, an essential function, for short periods of time. “The really new finding here is that these pig kidneys can clear enough creatinine to support an adult human,” Dr. Locke said. “If you want to have life-sustaining kidney function, the kidneys have to do more than just make urine,” Dr. Locke said. A few months later, researchers at the University of Maryland transplanted a heart from a genetically modified pig into a 57-year-old patient with heart failure. So far, transplants of genetically modified pig kidneys have been made only to brain-dead patients.

☆ Beta Technologies lands orders for fixed-wing electric aircraft
  + stars: | 2023-03-14 | by ( Valerie Insinna | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
WASHINGTON, March 14 (Reuters) - Beta Technologies is pursuing Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) certification for a fixed-wing electric airplane after receiving orders from three customers, the company announced Tuesday. The privately-held, Vermont-based startup sees certification of the CX 300 – a conventional takeoff and landing version of its Alia 250 electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft - as a path to introduce an electric aircraft into U.S. airspace under existing regulations, Chief Executive Kyle Clark told Reuters. Bristow Group, a helicopter service provider that has previously ordered eVTOL aircraft from Beta, has placed an order for up to 50 CX 300 electric planes, Beta said. As the air transport industry works to lower carbon emissions, electric "air taxis" are seen as a potential gamechanger that would allow airlines and other companies to shuttle people and goods by air over short distances. If successful, Beta can reuse much of the data to certify its eVTOL Alia aircraft, which uses the same airframe, batteries and propulsion system, Clark said.
☆ How the founder of SiriusXM wants to tackle an organ shortage with 3D-printed hearts and lungs
  + stars: | 2022-11-30 | by ( Andrew Dunn | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +5 min
She is the CEO of the $12 billion biotech United Therapeutics and founder of SiriusXM. Her company, the $12 billion Maryland-based biotech United Therapeutics, has already put gene-edited pig hearts, lungs, and kidneys into humans in clinical studies. Rothblatt previously founded SiriusXM before starting United TherapeuticsUnited TherapeuticsThe organ research is far from the first moonshot in Rothblatt's career. After that compound's owner, the pharma giant GSK, declined to test it against PAH, Rothblatt founded United Therapeutics in 1996 and bought the rights to the molecule. That drug helped save Jenesis, and United Therapeutics now sells a suite of PAH treatments that have helped over 12,000 patients.
☆ Primul transplant de organe de la porc la om ar putea avea loc anul acesta
  + stars: | 2021-01-12 | by ( ) www.jurnal.md   time to read: +3 min
Compania de biotehnologie United Therapeutics, cu sediul în Maryland, intenționează să înceapă chiar de anul acesta transplantul de organe de la porci modificați genetic. Scopul este de a compensa o parte din cererea masivă de organe pentru transplant care salvează viețile oamenilor. Transplantul de organe de la animale la oameni poate produce reacții imune severeExistă, însă, o problemă majoră: transplantul de organe animale în corpul uman poate duce la reacții imune severe. Cunoscute sub numele de porci GalSafe, animalele au fost modificate genetic pentru a nu avea zahăr alpha-gal pe suprafața celulelor. FDA nu a testat în mod explicit dacă persoanele cu AGS pot mânca carne de porc și nici nu a evaluat dacă porcii pot fi o sursă sigură de transplant la oameni.

☆ Porcii modificați genetic, aprobați pentru consumul uman în SUA
  + stars: | 2020-12-19 | by ( ) www.jurnal.md   time to read: +3 min
Animalele, cunoscute sub numele de porci GalSafe, au fost modificate genetic pentru a nu avea zahăr alpha-gal pe suprafața celulelor. Administrația pentru Alimente și Medicamente (FDA) din SUA a anunțat că a aprobat porcii modificați genetic, atât pentru consumul alimentar de către oameni, cât și ca sursă pentru potențiale utilizări terapeutice, precum medicamentele. Porcii GalSafe au fost dezvoltați de compania biotehnologică Revivicor Inc., derivată din compania britanică PPL Therapeutics care a ajutat la producerea primului animal clonat, oaia Dolly, în 1996. În 2015, agenția a aprobat o formă de somon modificată genetic pentru consum uman, care a fost editată pentru a crește mai repede. Decizia actuală a primit critici din partea ONG-urilor pentru siguranța alimentelor care au afirmat că FDA a aprobat GalSafe, porcii modificați genetic, fără să ceară companiei să realizeze teste de alergii și nici să ofere o analiză de mediu adecvată.
