(“Notable”) (Nasdaq: NTBL), a clinical stage therapeutic platform company developing predictive precision medicines for cancer patients, today announced the publication of data from an ex vivo study demonstrating the potential for its Predictive Precision Medicine Platform (PPMP) to identify more effective pre-hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (pre-HSCT) regimens for the treatment of juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML) in the November 9th Issue of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Journal JCO Precision Oncology. Part of this data was recently presented at the European Hematology Association (EHA) Hybrid Congress held in Frankfurt, Germany on June 8 – 15, 2023. Details of that presentation can be found on the Company’s website at https://notablelabs.com/.

Key Points: 
  • JMML is a rare, aggressive pediatric malignancy for which curative treatment is restricted to hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
  • Pre-HSCT therapies, i.e., therapies prior to transplantation, include moderately intensive chemotherapy (particularly fludarabine and cytarabine in combination (FLA)) and azacytidine (AZA) monotherapy.
  • Applying its proprietary PPMP technology to blood or bone marrow samples from JMML patients, Notable screened 130 drug combinations and discovered that 27 of these combinations (26 dual-, 1 triple-combination) were more effective ex vivo than the components of these combinations tested individually.
  • “This publication marks the culmination of a multi-year collaboration between UCSF and Notable Labs,” remarked Dr. Stieglitz.

Of all the wonder ingredients promoted by skincare enthusiasts and manufacturers, retinol is among the most popular. It’s a potent ingredient that can help with a wide variety of complaints, from wrinkles to acne. But how does it work and should you just go out and buy the first retinol product you see?

What is retinol?

    • Vitamin A is an essential micronutrient that plays a vital role in supporting various physiological functions in most mammal species.
    • It promotes normal vision, bolsters the immune system, facilitates reproduction and fosters optimal growth and development.
    • It can help maintain skin health and, because it stimulates collagen and elastin biosynthesis, it can enhance the skin’s regenerative mechanisms.

Retinol

    • When retinol is applied topically, it is converted into retinoic acid by the skin, the biologically active form of vitamin A.
    • This is why you often see retinol skincare products packaged in opaque bottles, which protect them from the sunlight.
    • Some manufacturers recommend keeping retinol products in the fridge, and most skincare retinol products have a limited shelf-life.

Retinyl

    • The most common forms are retinyl acetate and retinyl palmitate.
    • Retinyl needs to be converted into retinol and then into retinoic acid by the skin in order to be functional.

Retinaldehyde

    • Retinaldehyde, also known as retinal, is more potent than retinol but less potent than retinoic acid.
    • Due to its proximity to retinoic acid, retinaldehyde is considered more efficient in producing skin benefits compared with retinol.

Which to choose

    • Generally, over-the-counter cosmetic products may contain retinol concentrations ranging from 0.1% to 1%.
    • These concentrations are lower than prescription-strength retinoids, which can contain higher amounts of retinol or more potent derivatives such as tretinoin.
    • This is why you might see stronger retinol products on sale in markets such as the US, compared with Europe or countries that trade heavily with Europe.
    • The retinyl esters are the most stable but have not shown significant differences when used on the skin, compared with a placebo.
