Device to Cut Orthodontic Treatment Time in Half – Leonhardt Ventures and OrthodontiCell File Provisional Patent Application

Santa Monica, CA and Salt Lake City, Utah, April. 20th, 2016 – PRBuzz – Leonhardt Ventures — a developer, manufacturer and marketer of advanced organ regeneration products — has announced the expansion of its intellectual property portfolio via its startup OrthodontiCell.  OrthodontiCell is incubating within Cal-X Stars Business Accelerator, Inc.  The Company has filed a provisional patent application in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for inventions relating to bioelectric stimulation controlled release of RANKL and a number of other proteins, including stem cell homing factor SDF-1, designed to accelerate tooth movement and cut in half the time required for orthodontic treatment with braces and clear aligners – the OrthodontiCell Tooth Movement Accelerator TM.  Studies are currently underway in Argentina.

Howard J. Leonhardt the Founder and CEO of Leonhardt, Ventures and Cal-X Stars Business Accelerator, Inc., Dr. John Marchetto an Orthodontist in Weston, Florida and Dr. Jorge Genovese a collaborative researcher from Buenos Aires, Argentina are co-inventors of this product.
“This invention addresses the desire to reduce in half the time it takes to treat orthodontic patients.  The approach is  to speed up the normal process of bone demineralization in order to accelerate tooth movement.  Millions of people that wear braces or aligners would love to cut their treatment time in half.  Other light and vibration devices fall short in providing a clear and reliable pathway to the underlying mechanism of action for tooth movement.  Also, the repeat RANKL needle injection methods are painful for the patients and are needed too frequently.  This invention is completely different than previous devices as it provides clear cut direct control for the release of essential cells and proteins needed for accelerating tooth movement, and with less pain”,  states Dr. John Marchetto, co-Inventor.

The OrthodontiCell team is in the process of launching well-designed studies both in and outside the U.S. to document the safety and efficacy of its Tooth Movement Accelerator TM product.

 

Howard Leonhardt co-inventor of this device previously patented an electrical stimulation device for recruiting stem cells to damaged organs including the heart by causing the release of SDF-1 stromal derived factor-1 on demand working in collaboration with Dr. Juan Chachques of Paris – http://www.google.com/patents/US20050171578.  Dr. Genovese has been conducting electrical stimulation based regeneration research for over twenty years with numerous published peer reviewed papers and is co-inventor with Leonhardt on nearly a dozen new patents pending.
Howard Leonhardt presented earlier this year their team’s 27 Year Experience with Stem Cell Therapies for Organ Regeneration and highlighted some of the spin out startup technology platforms that have emerged from the original work on heart regeneration which are now also incubating in the Cal-X Stars Business Accelerator and Leonhardt’s Launchpads – http://mysocialgoodnews.com/howard-leonhardt-to-present-27-years-of-experience-with-stem-cell-therapies-at-academy-of-regenerative-practices-winter-conference-and-scientific-seminar/

Leonhardt Ventures and CerebraCell File Patent Application for BioElectric Signals to Halt Tumor Growth and Regenerate Organs

– Signals for stopping cell division and halting blood flow to tumors followed by full regeneration program –

logoleonhardtventures1460646606

Press Release – Santa Monica, CA and Salt Lake City, UT – April 14th, 2016 – Leonhardt Ventures and its spin out startups CerebraCell, PancreaCell, RegenaLung and CancerCell are pleased to announce they have filed a provisional patent application with over 30 patent invention claims with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) for its first cancer focused therapy comprising signals of halting cell division, stopping blood supply to tumors then followed by a full comprehensive program for organ regeneration.

The patent application is entitled “Treating Cancer Tumors Using BioElectric Stimulation in Combination with Micro Infusion” Inventors Howard J. Leonhardt and Jorge Genovese. This technology is based on bioelectric signals delivered via a micro stimulator device the size of a quarter. The signals may be delivered to target tumors and tissues via non-invasive means via a wearable brain cap or via wireless transmission. When desired a small wire probe may be directed precisely to the tumor and the tissue area targeted for regeneration after cancer treatment. The device may be used as a stimulator alone for small tumors with a small amount of associated organ damage and in combination with a micro infusion pump in cases of large or multiple tumors and significant organ damage in need of regeneration. Although the optimal and desired cancer tumor treatment regime is free of tissue damaging and side effect riddle chemo therapy or radiation it may be used in conjunction with those treatment options when deemed best for the patient by their physician. The regeneration protocol is also predicted to be useful for recovering from these treatment modalities as well and it is hoped that the bioelectric stimulation signaling can reduce the need for chemo or radiation and in many cases eliminate totally the need for these more toxic treatments.

“We do not claim in any way to have an easy instant cure for cancer yet but we are sharing that while we studied organ regeneration targeted bioelectric signals intended to promote controlled cell proliferation and controlled new blood vessel growth we stumbled across signals that seem to promptly stop cell division and blood supply. We decided to file with the USPTO these new inventions with the purpose of stopping cancer tumor growth and combine them our existing portfolio of organ regeneration technologies. The next step will be carefully designed studies to prove out the combination with the hope for complete cancer recovery with less side effects compared to currently available treatments.” states co-inventor Howard J. Leonhardt

“What is unique about this invention is the combination of stopping cell division and stopping blood supply, presumably without toxic side effects found from chemo and radiation treatments, followed by a complete organ regeneration protocol. Other cancer treatments are both toxic and incomplete in fully recovering a patient back to a high quality of life.” states co-inventor Dr. Jorge Genovese “We have high hope for this technology to make a major difference for the better in treating cancer patients and we are on the research path now to prove this out with well controlled studies.” Genovese further states.

Leonhardt-Genovese Patent Abstract

Cytokine + Chemotherapeutic and regenerative treatment for certain cancers may be combined with low intensity, intermediate frequency alternating electric fields that are tuned to release specific beneficial proteins at specific time intervals. More specifically, cell proliferation inhibition and halting blood supply to tumors in the first treatment stage. The bioelectric stimulation treatment may be increased in volume and efficacy by the combination use of an implantable, programmable, re-fillable micro infusion pump that delivers anti-cell proliferation and anti-blood vessel growth proteins as well, if desired, standard cancer treatment drugs such as chemo therapy agents. The second stage of treatment is focused regeneration of cancer damaged tissues back to their most optimal healthy state. The regenerative phase comprises a sequence of recruiting repairative stem cells to the damaged organ by bioelectrically stimulating the the release of SDF-1 (stem cell homing factor), followed by a controlled proliferation signal, a controlled blood vessel supply signal (VEGF) and if desired and useful release of Follistatin, Tropinelastin, Hepatocyte Growth Factor, IGF-1, eNOS and Activin. The stimulation cycle causing release of beneficial proteins for regeneration may be upgraded in volume and speed of delivery by the combination use of an implantable, re-fillable, programmable micro infusion pump for delivering a higher quantity of stem cells, nutrient hydrogel, matrix and other beneficial tissue and organ regeneration promotion proteins.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

Cytokine + Chemotherapeutic and regenerative treatment for certain cancers comprising a combination low intensity, intermediate frequency alternating electric fields that are tuned to release particular beneficial proteins in two stages, stage (1) = stopping cancer spread by halting cell proliferation and halting tumor blood supply and stage (2) regenerating the cancer damaged tissue or organ back to optimal health. In many cases, the resulting cell proliferation inhibition is expected to be significantly higher than the inhibition obtained by drug-only regimens of treatment.

A method of killing or inhibiting the growth of cancer cells in a target region followed by regenerating the tissue or organ back to optimal health, the method comprising the steps of:

Stage 1 = Stop cancer tumor growth

applying, to the target region, a series of bioelectric signals that damages the cancer cells or inhibits the growth of the cancer cells via stopping cell proliferation and halting blood supply temporarily, but leaves normal cells in the target region substantially unharmed; and
treating the cancer cells with an other anti-cancer regimen via programmable micro pump infusion, wherein the applying step and the treating step are performed simultaneously.

Stage 2 = Regeneration of post cancer tissue or organ

treating the target region with a series of bioelectric signals to recruit stem cells, grow healthy blood vessels and re-grow healthy functional tissues in the previous cancer damaged region.

Leonhardt Ventures is interested in partnership opportunities for its proprietary technology platform with other biotechnology /pharmaceutical companies. Additionally, CerebraCell, PancreaCell and Regenalung, Leonhardt Ventures spin out startups, are exploring collaboration opportunities with investigators and clinical sites for potential combination treatment options for brain, pancreas and lung cancers indications respectively. The IP portfolio for all other potential cancer treatment indications of use will be housed in a new Leonhardt Ventures spin out startup to be incubated within the Cal-X Stars Business Accelerator, Inc. called CancerCell including breast, skin, prostrate, throat, colon, cervical, throat and esophagus cancers.

Note – CerebraCell is dually incubating in the Cal-X Stars Business Accelerator in Santa Monica and at the University of Northern California Science and Technology Innovation Center in Rohnert Park, CA under the guidance of over 70 business mentors and 35 scientific advisory board members. PancreaCell, RegenaLung and CancerCell are dually incubating in the Cal-X Stars Business Accelerator in Santa Monica and the newly formed Leonhardt’s Launchpads Utah incubator/incubator in Salt Lake City.

Two Entities Seek to Collaborate to Grow Bioscience Startups into Thriving Businesses

Two Entities Seek to Collaborate to Grow Bioscience Startups into Thriving Businesses

 

Los Angeles, California – LABioHub, the Los Angeles-based consortium dedicated to aiding the growth of biomedical enterprises in the region, announced this morning their working partnership with RedSky, the for-profit subsidiary of the Medical Center of the Americas Foundation, based in El Paso, Texas where they engage area researchers and companies in the incubation, acceleration, and commercialization of revolutionary medical devices and medicines.

 

RedSky is bringing new energy to the biomedical research startup world, with its launch of a Seed Accelerator program that provides up to $200,000 per year in seed capital for six to 10 teams or startups over a three-month period to develop novel technologies that will drive medical progress and economic growth. As participants in the RedSky Seed Accelerator, each team will receive up to $20,000 for early development costs in exchange for up to 7 percent equity in the company or company to be formed. Additional perks to RedSky’s Seed Accelerator program include legal and accounting services, office space, a robust entrepreneurship curriculum, business advisory services and executive coaching from the Redsky team, and dedicated mentors, culminating in a Demo Day.

 

LABioHub has lined up over 100 mentors and scientific advisory board members comprised of world leaders in the life sciences and industry, and has developed bridges of relations to bioscience startup development resources in the region – a base that LABioHub builds on every day. RedSky is doing the same, not only in the Paso del Norte region (West Texas, Southern New Mexico, and Northern State of Chihuahua in Mexico), but also nationally and internationally. Both organizations realize that game-changing innovation is best attained through collaboration.

 

This collaboration partnership provides both companies with the opportunity to establish a hub in the highly fragmented biomedical innovations market by leaning on each other’s strengths to become stronger together. Some examples include:

 

LABioHub will help RedSky startups to:

  • Develop high-emotional impact videos that help tell their story. Los Angeles is a leader in crafted well told on video.
  • Develop successful crowdfunding campaigns.
  • Provide introductions to researchers and clinical investigators at UCLA, USC, Cal-Tech, Cedars Sinai, Huntington and other leading Los Angeles area centers.
  • Coordinate introductions, when appropriate, to the industry leaders in the Los Angeles area such as Amgen, Alfred Mann and Nantworks.

 

RedSky will help LABioHub startups to:

  • Conduct market analysis and develop marketing plans backed with solid supporting data.
  • Facilitate introductions to a network of clinical investigators and research collaborators for trials including Mexico.
  • Arrange introductions to the resources of the Paso del Norte region, and Texas-based industry leaders.

 

As part of the collaborative agreement, each entity will agree to host visitor members at their respective sites that are on missions to find collaborative researchers or capital, and to help arrange Demo Days in their respective states, attracting investors. Useful seminars held at either location will be live-streamed or video-recorded for viewing at the other respective site.

 

“In the modern noisy marketplace, it is hard to be heard above the crowd especially for a startup. You may have a great product or service but if no one knows about it, you are not going to go far. In today’s world, all companies are media companies whether they like it or not. A company IS its network. With this alliance we hope to grow our ability to help bioscience startups with introductions, network building and media outreach which is essential for success,” comments Howard J. Leonhardt of Leonhardt Ventures and Co-Founder of LABioHub.

 

Richard Koffler, CEO of the medtech device incubator Greenwings Biomedical and co-founder of LA BioHub remarks, “The partnership with RedSky is perfectly aligned with LA BioHub’s mission of providing LA’s life-science startups with the tools, knowledge and inspiration they need to make rapid progress. RedSky brings a portfolio of very valuable professional services and connections, and we give them direct access to one of the world’s fastest growing regions in life-science innovation.”

“This networking collaboration is a clear case of one plus one is three instead of two.  By leveraging each other strengths and network of potential introductions, we both become better equipped to help our startups thrive, which is what our charter goal is as an organization,” states Albert Di Rienzo, President at RedSky.

 

The life sciences industry creates some of the best-paying jobs in the country; however, developing a high-powered, fairly accessible, collaborative platform for launching biotechnology companies is a challenge for this industry, especially in the early-stages of a startup. RedSky has a running start, looking to bridge this siloed space beginning with the Los Angeles bioscience community via LABioHub at ROC Santa Monica. “Building an innovation ecosystem that creates a steady stream of thriving successful enterprises is much more than just putting some clean air hoods in a building. We at RedSky believe the value we bring to our startups has much to do with the valuable introductions we can provide for them. Valuable introductions are a byproduct of the merging of two strong collaborative networks,” points out Neyha Sehgal, Director of Business Development and Market Analysis at RedSky.

BioLeonhardt Files Provisional Patent Application For Electrical Stimulation Controlled Release Of Follistatin

Santa Monica, CA and Salt Lake City, Utah , Feb. 16th, 2016 /PRBuzz- BioLeonhardt MyoStimwww.bioleonhardt.com funded by Leonhardt Ventures a developer, manufacturer and marketer of advanced organ regeneration products focused on the heart and limbs has announced the expansion of its intellectual property portfolio. BioLeonhardt MyoStim is incubating within Cal-X Stars Business Accelerator, Inc. The Company has filed a provisional patent application in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for inventions relating to bioelectric stimulation controlled release of follistatin a powerful muscle repair and formation promoter. Follistatin-like 1 (FSTL1) is a protein that encourages the growth of healthy cells, contractile muscle tissue and even blood vessels, helping supply the newly created muscle tissue with oxygen and nutrients. This therapy invention was originally designed to reduce or eliminate scarring of the heart following a heart attack and reversing heart failure but may also be applicable to treating other organs suffering of muscle loss or degradation.

Howard J. Leonhardt the Founder and CEO of BioLeonhardt MyoStim and Dr. Jorge Genovese a collaborative researcher from Buenos Aires, Argentina are co-inventors of this product. Howard Leonhardt previously patented a series of electrical stimulation devices and signals for homing stem cells to targeted tissues and the controlled differentiation when required into contractile muscle, even within scar tissue starting back starting back in 2000. Dr. Genovese has been conducting electrical stimulation based regeneration research for over twenty years with numerous published peer reviewed papers.

“Folistatin is a key element in improving our ability to regenerate damaged hearts and limbs as well as other organs. Controlled on demand release from cells in a persons own body is ideal for optimizing and maximizing the powerful capabilities of follistatin to improve heart and limb function. Today’s provisional patent filing is a great step towards helping millions of patients in great need without viable alternatives. The potential uses go well beyond heart and limb regeneration and may be useful for hundreds of applications.” stated Howard J. Leonhardt, Co-Inventor

“Numerous published papers, including a number from our own labs, have documented the powerful ability of follistatin to promote repair and form new muscle when and where needed. Until now there was not a practical, safe and cost effective method of controlled delivery. This invention is designed to solve the missing puzzle piece to reproducibly produce safe results in regenerating not only hearts and limbs but other ailing organs including treating erectile dysfunction.” Stated Dr. Jorge Genovese Co-Inventor

Last year a team led by scientists from Utrecht University in The Netherlands pubished postive heart regeneration results with a patch soaked in Follistatin (FSTL-1) placed on damaged heart tissue in small animals – REFERENCE: http://bit.ly/1MTLC7d. For human use it was determined by our team that longer repeat doses were needed and a natural release from a patients own electrically stimulated cells would lead successful human heart regeneration which led to this invention. Our patent pending signals for follistatin release match more closely with the natural low voltage signals in the human body.

A team from the University of Utah in part led by BioLeonhardt Scientitific Advisory Board Members and collaborative researchers Dr. Jorge Genovese and Dr. Amit Patel working with co-researchers in Rome, Italy published in Cell Transplantation, Vol. 21, pp. 493–503, 2013 – In Situ Electrostimulation Drives a Regenerative Shift in the Zone of Infarcted Myocardium – http://bioleonhardt.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/IN-SITU-ES-JG.pdf which included documenting increases in numerous beneficial proteins for heart regeneration with a 3V 10HZ signal. Dr. Jorge Genovese previously led a study – http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19530028 – Electrostimulated bone marrow human mesenchymal stem cells produce follistatin which utilized very high voltage 10 and 40V signals to cause bone marrow cells in the lab to increase release of follistatin. These high voltages proved impractical for use within the human heart due to their high risk propensity to potentially cause arrthymias. This created the need to discover a lower safer voltage signal that could be used in human hearts that led to this new provisional patent application.

Howard Leonhardt co-inventor of this device previously patented an electrical stimulation device for recruiting stem cells to damaged organs including the heart by causing the release of SDF-1 stromal derived factor-1 on demand working in collaboration with Dr. Juan Chachques of Paris – http://www.google.com/patents/US20050171578. This issued U.S. patent has a separate claim for controlling the differentiation of pluripotent stem cells , recruited or injected from sources of bone marrow, fat and circulating blood, to contractile muscle in the depth of myocardial scar tissue. The stimulation voltages of this Leonhardt Chachques patented device range from 1 mV to about 40 mV in line with natural voltages sent by the brain to tissues to stimulate protein releases for repair and regeneration naturally. In line with the natural signals utilized to form heart tissue during fetal development. In total Howard Leonhardt co-inventor of this provisional patent has over 21 issued U.S. patents related to treating heart and cardiovascular disease with over 100 individual patent claims with dozens more pending or in process – http://patents.justia.com/inventor/howard-j-leonhardt

Howard Leonhardt presented earlier this month their team’s 27 Year Experience with Stem Cell Therapies for Organ Regeneration and highlighted some of the spin out startup techonlogy platforms that have emerged from the original work on heart regeneration which are now also incubating in the Cal-X Stars Business Accelerator and Leonhardt’s Launchpads – http://mysocialgoodnews.com/howard-leonhardt-to-present-27-years-of-experience-with-stem-cell-therapies-at-academy-of-regenerative-practices-winter-conference-and-scientific-seminar/

About BioLeonhardt MyoStim:

BioLeonhardt MyoStim is a developer of products for heart and limb regeneration. Its flagship product for heart regeneration utilizes a micro voltage signal generator the size of a quarter implanted in the abdomen of a patient coupled with a re-fillable micro pump. The regeneration stimulator is programmed to cause stimulated tissues to release on demand control SDF-1 (a stem cell homing signal), VEGF (a blood vessel growth protein), HGF (an arrhythmia inhibitor), Follistatin (a muscle repair and formation promotor), VEGF microRNA PI3K/Ak activity enhancer for cardiac stem cell migration, Tropinelastin (improves elasticity of tissues). The micropump is re-filled at least once a week with MicroRNAs, nutrient hydrogel, adipose derived cells including endothelial progenitor cells, muscle stem cells, follistatin, pyruvate, tropinelastin, cardiac matrix and a cardiomyogenic and angiogenic cocktail of additional growth factors. The pump+stimulator combination is designed to totally regenerate a failing heart over a 36 month course of treatment. A similar combination product is used for limb salvage. BioLeonhardt MyoStim legally operates now during its formative development stage as a technology platform license unit (startup) of Leonhardt Vineyards LLC DBA Leonhardt Ventures operating within the Cal-X Stars Business Accelerator, Inc. and will soon be spun out as a stand alone C corporation when its own financial standing is secure enough.

The California Stock Exchange TM Announces Progress and Long Term Plan

Santa Monica, CA – June 12th, 2015 – Today Leonhardt Ventures announced its progress in developing Cal-X The California Stock Exchange TM intended to be first social good impact stock exchange in the USA.

“Treating people and community well with a strong sense of purpose and a vibrant innovation culture is not just good for good sake, it is simply good business.” Howard J. Leonhardt Chairman and Founder The California Stock Exchange TM

“Companies that treat people well and have a sense of purpose recruit, retain and motivate the best people. People that believe in the work they are doing and are energized everyday. This leads to innovation and happy repeat customers and higher returns to investors.” Leonhardt further states. “People that believe in this principle will now have a dedicated marketplace.”

Cal-X is being developed by a 70 person all star team of experienced industry veterans that Leonhardt has recruited to help guide all developments – http://calxstars.com/team-cal-x/

“We are 2 years into our original 5 year plan and we have made great progress.” Leonhardt points out. These Cal-X units have already launched…

CrowdImpact – Working with www.Crowdfunder.com we helped launch CrowdImpact a Social Enterprise Pitch Contest with donation prize money from Cal-X Crowdfund Connect – VIDEO > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RKCXMk6OI8c

The LIONS DEN Online Startup Pitch TV Show – http://www.calstockexchange.com/the-lions-den/ – Startups pitch to not only a panel of judges in studio but to audience viewing on TV. With proper registrations audience viewers can invest in companies pitching on the show  http://www.crowdfundinsider.com/2014/03/33008-cal-x-lions-den-seeks-applicants-online-tv-pitch-contest/ LIONS DEN will initially air on The Kindheart Lionheart INSPIRATIONAL WORKS TV Network www.kindheartlionhearttv.com

The next Cal-X innovation launches coming soon…

Cal-X 30 Index Fund – Curated basket of 30 social good impact stocks currently listed on NASDAQ and other exchanges sold as a package to attempt to reduce risk. Set to launch by the end of this year. Our simple goal year 1 = BEAT THE DOW 30. During the initial test period for this index fund we do not intend to invite outside investors in until after we prove out the model, which may require some adjustments from the original test group.

Cal-X BDC Fund – Business Development Corp. fund to fund private and public social good impact high growth companies. Following this model – https://www.wrhambrecht.com/wp-content/uploads/poliwogg/poliwogg-road-show-presentation.pdf

Cal-X Venture Exchange – A listing board for research tested post crowdfunded social good impact stocks. An eBay or Craigslist of sorts for Reg A stocks that wish to be sold private buyer to private buyer.

Cal-X The California Stock Exchange TM – Plans to be a full fledged stock exchange competing with NASDAQ and NYSE that only lists highly selected social good impact stocks. We will launch this after proving out the profitability of the Cal-X 30 Index Fund. Proper registration as a full fledged stock exchange or an alternative trading system will require significant investment of resources over time.

About Leonhardt Ventures www.leonhardtventures.com: Founded in 1982 Howard J. Leonhardt and operating now since 2005 as Leonhardt Vineyards LLC DBA Leonhardt Ventures. Leonhardt Ventures from 1982 to 2008 specialized only in developing innovations for treating heart and cardiovascular disease. In the 1980’s they patented and led the development of the world’s leading polyurethane balloon cardiovascular catheters as well as the first intravascular lung catheter and radiation delivery systems. In the 1990’s they developed the first commercially successful stent grafts for repairing aortic aneurysms without surgery as well as the first percutaneous heart valve, biological pacemaker and stem cell delivery catheters. In the 2000’s they led the team that completed the first-in-man non-surgical stem cell repair of a damaged heart. Since 2010 the team has pioneered the development of microcurrent technologies for directing stem cell regeneration of organs and tissues as well as the first implantable stem cell pump. Leonhardt holds over 21 patents with dozens more in process or pending and has licensed over 40 more. Over 250,000 patients have been treated to date with Leonhardt inventions generating more than $3 billion in revenues. In 2008 Leonhardt Ventures opened a new sector of innovation development under the banner social good impact and has launched since then 15 social good impact innovation startups most with a strong crowdfunding component to them. This includes The Kindheart Lionheart INSPIRATIONAL WORKS TV Network www.kindheartlionhearttv.com. Leonhardt Ventures is moving slowly and cautiously in building Cal-X The California Stock ExchangeTM and all its units to ensure compliance with all regulations and to make sure the products are tested before opening them up to outsiders. Cal-X is primarily an information source at this time for those interested in social good impact investing and for social good impact startups seeking to grow.
