Finding Stillness and Gratitude In a Heart Attack

If there is one thing I’ve learned in my journey with Marjorie, it is that life can change in the blink of an eye. No matter how much we plan or perfectly color code our calendars, life happens.And with adversity comes miracles. My family and I are counting our blessings extra this Thanksgiving as we received a miracle that could only be written by God Himself… Sunday morning, I headed off to my beloved homeland of Louisiana for an awesomely busy week of talks, events and fundraisers. I was beyond thrilled to host an Alliance event in Baton Rouge, which would raise funds to create a free clinician led support group in my hometown. My ultimate pay it forward dream and mission was finally happening

Libella Gene Therapeutics to Run a Patient Paid Trial of Telomerase Gene Therapy

After Bioviva Science, Libella Gene Therapeutics is the second company to take a run at commercializing telomerase gene therapy treatments for human use. Telomerase is the enzyme responsible for lengthening telomeres, repeated DNA sequences at the ends of chromosomes, though it may have other roles. Telomeres are a part of the mechanism that limits the number of times that a somatic cell can replicate. Telomeres shorten with each cell division, and when too short they trigger programmed cell death or cellular senescence followed by destruction by the immune system. Ordinary somatic cells in humans do not express telomerase; it is only present in stem cells, which can replicate indefinitely to supply tissues with new somatic cells with long telomeres. This split between a small privileged stem cell
