Yield10 has previously reported herbicide tolerance in spring Camelina, where the Company has selected lead and back-up commercial-quality lines for development.

Key Points: 
  • Yield10 has previously reported herbicide tolerance in spring Camelina, where the Company has selected lead and back-up commercial-quality lines for development.
  • Preliminary interim results of these field tests indicated that Yield10’s stacked HT winter Camelina performed well on the field plots pre-treated with Group 2 herbicides.
  • The winter Camelina was planted, and the field plots were subsequently sprayed with glufosinate in accordance with the field trial design.
  • Winter Camelina engineered with glufosinate tolerance remained healthy, while field plots of Camelina without the herbicide tolerance trait did not survive the spray.

MILWAUKEE, Feb. 19, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Rebamipide may be useful for rehabilitation of patients with SARS-CoV-2 post-COVID syndrome according to new research being presented at the 2024 American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology (AAAAI) Annual Meeting in Washington, DC, this month.

Key Points: 
  • "This study revealed higher levels of lipopolysaccharide-binding protein, and lower levels of bacterial permeability protein in patients with post COVID syndrome.
  • Rebamipide, by reducing intestinal permeability, reduces endotoxin load, lowering the level of low-grade inflammation.
  • To explore Rebamipide's usefulness for rehabilitating SARS-CoV-2 post-COVID syndrome patients, researchers examined 62 patients, aged 42-55 years with post-COVID-19 syndrome using nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs for joint pain.
  • Given the effects of SARS-CoV-2 on enterocytes, the results suggest that Rebamipide may be useful for rehabilitation of patients with SARS-CoV-2 post-COVID syndrome.

SILVER SPRING, Md., Feb. 14, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved Aurlumyn (iloprost) injection to treat severe frostbite in adults to reduce the risk of finger or toe amputation.

Key Points: 
  • SILVER SPRING, Md., Feb. 14, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved Aurlumyn (iloprost) injection to treat severe frostbite in adults to reduce the risk of finger or toe amputation.
  • Frostbite can occur in several stages, ranging from mild frostbite that does not require medical intervention and does not cause permanent skin damage, to severe frostbite when both the skin and underlying tissue are frozen and blood flow is stopped, sometimes requiring amputation.
  • Iloprost's efficacy in treating severe frostbite was primarily established in an open-label, controlled trial that randomized 47 adults with severe frostbite, who all received aspirin by vein and standard of care, into one of three treatment groups.
  • The two other groups received other medications that are unapproved for frostbite, given with iloprost (Group 2) or without iloprost (Group 3).

WOBURN, Mass., Nov. 15, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Yield10 Bioscience, Inc. (Nasdaq:YTEN) (“Yield10” or the “Company”), an agricultural bioscience company, today announced that USDA-APHIS’s Biotechnology Regulatory Services (“BRS”) has determined that Yield10’s glufosinate tolerant Camelina sativa ("Camelina”) may be grown and bred in the United States. Yield10 submitted a Request for Regulatory Status Review (“RSR”) to the BRS under the SECURE Rule in June 2022 for glufosinate tolerant Camelina. The response from USDA-APHIS means that the agency does not consider the modified Camelina plant to be an increased plant pest risk as compared to unmodified Camelina and is therefore not subject to regulation under 7 CFR part 340 regulations. Yield10’s submission along with the USDA-APHIS BRS response is posted on the USDA’s website.

Key Points: 
  • Yield10 submitted a Request for Regulatory Status Review (“RSR”) to the BRS under the SECURE Rule in June 2022 for glufosinate tolerant Camelina.
  • “The regulatory clearance of glufosinate tolerant Camelina through USDA-APHIS represents a significant commercial milestone for Yield10,” said Kristi Snell, Ph.D., Chief Scientific Officer of Yield10 Bioscience.
  • We believe glufosinate tolerant Camelina will provide growers with new options for weed management allowing Camelina to fit seamlessly into crop rotations driving commercial adoption.
  • Yield10 is currently scaling-up seed inventory in anticipation of the commercial launch of glufosinate tolerant Camelina.
