Ventria Bioscience’s ExpressTec Delivers the Power to Improve the Health Status of Children in Developing Countries
Junction City, Kansas – November 21, 2019 – A recent publication, Human Milk Proteins: Their Power to Improve the Health Status of Children in Developing Countries, explores the critical health benefits of synthetic human breastmilk proteins for children in developing countries. In poverty-stricken areas, children are more likely to suffer from Environmental Enteric Dysfunction (EED) […]
Human Milk Proteins: Their Power to Improve the Health Status of Children in Developing Countries
It has long been known that human breastmilk provides crucial health advantages to newborn infants as they develop, and has been a topic of intense research. Current clinical innovations seek to harness the benefits of human breastmilk to address global medical needs. With functions such as energy provision, immunologic power, and gut maturation, there are […]
Design and Objectives of the ELCIE Clinical Trial
Effects of rhLactoferrin on Chronic Inflammation in the Elderly: Design and Objectives of the ELCIE Clinical Trial We have previously introduced an ongoing clinical study, headed by principal investigator Jeremy Walston, MD, Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, aimed at finding out if recombinant human lactoferrin (rhLactoferrin) produced from Ventria Bioscience’s ExpressTec biologic manufacturing system may […]
Breastmilk and the developing infant brain
In a previous post, we discussed how the composition of human breastmilk protects infant health and aids in the early development of the gut and immune system. We also talked about how some of those beneficial properties can be isolated to specific milk proteins that can now be produced affordably, in high yield, for clinical […]
Studying a potential new insulin analog for diabetes therapy
Toward a better insulin analog: improving product yield enables scientific study of potential new diabetes therapy. Daily injections of the pancreatic peptide-hormone insulin are essential to life for many people living with type 1 or advanced type 2 diabetes. While therapeutic insulin was originally available only by purifying it from animal sources, in 1982 a […]
Clinical study: can a protein derived from breastmilk palliate symptoms of inflammation in the elderly?
Through the process of natural selection, the components of mammalian breastmilk have been shaped over the course of millions of years. For each species of mammal, breastmilk provides not only the nutrients that neonates and infants require for proper growth and development outside of the womb, but also a host of components that protect the […]
Ventria Bioscience partners with BMGF to address pediatric diarrhea in the developing world
In our last post, we discussed results from a re-analysis of the Global Enteric Multicenter Study (GEMS), which found that the key pathogens responsible for nearly 80% of worldwide cases of pediatric diarrhea are Shigella spp, rotavirus, adenovirus 40/41, heat-stable enterotoxigenic E. coli (ETEC), Cryptosporidium spp, and Campylobacter spp. Previously, we also discussed a study, […]
Causes of diarrhea in children: The Global Enteric Multicenter Study (GEMS)
Worldwide, diarrheal diseases are the second leading cause of death in children younger than 5 years of age, killing approximately half a million children every year. The causes of diarrhea are multifold, and public health efforts to address this challenge require reliable, consistent estimates of pathogen burden. The Global Enteric Multicenter Study (GEMS) was a […]
