Editor’s intro: Dr. Andrew Howard, Master Implant Dentist, LLC, has been placing and restoring implants for three decades. Here is his story.
Master Implant Dentist, LLC
What can you tell us about your background?
I moved to Loveland, Colorado, from Indianapolis, Indiana, right after my General Practice Residency at Joseph Hospital in Denver in 1988. It was a small town with a population of about 40,000 at the time. I purchased a two-operatory practice and loved being so close to the mountains, the lifestyle, and recreational opportunities. I was shocked that so many of my patients had never heard of dental implants. External marketing by dentists was also almost unheard of. Against the advice of many local dentists, I started to advertise my dental implant services. This quickly allowed me to build a growing practice that was known for being able to handle the most difficult and challenging cases. I was also one of the first general dentists in northern Colorado to offer IV sedation and in-office CBCT scanning. In 2004, I decide to focus my practice on dental implants, full mouth reconstruction, and sedation dentistry. We became the Center for Advanced Dentistry. This involved building a new office with a dedicated surgical suite in addition to four other conventional dental operatories.
Why did you branch out to implant dentistry?
I am a general dentist and never wanted to restrict my scope of practice because I truly enjoy all aspects of dentistry.
Is your practice limited solely to implants or do you practice other types of dentistry?
Approximately 70% of my practice is surgical and restorative implant dentistry. The remaining 30% is mostly major restorative, sedation, and cosmetic dentistry.
Why did you decide to focus on implant dentistry?
I found it extremely frustrating to offer only removable dentures and partials for my patients who were missing most or all of their teeth. We would not accept such poor options for other medical concerns. A denture might alleviate their tooth pain but did nothing for their quality of life. I found implant dentistry to be very rewarding by the way it affected my patients’ overall satisfaction of life, health, and their confidence in social situations. It is amazing what an impact a beautiful, secure, and healthy smile can have on a person’s life.
Do your patients come through referrals?
Yes, our existing patients are our best referral source, but I also receive referrals from other general dentists and even specialists. We also do a very coordinated marketing campaign. My goal was to become known as the local expert in dental implants. We use a variety of marketing methods, including giving live direct-to-patient seminars on a regular basis. This exposure keeps us “top of mind” when someone needs dental implants. It also provides a steady stream of pre-qualified patients that are ready for full mouth restoration with implant treatment. These have been highly instrumental in gaining expert status in our community. Direct to public dental implant seminars have been our best return on investment of any marketing we have done.
How long have you been practicing implant dentistry, and what systems do you use?
I have been placing and restoring implants for over 30 years. Today, I place mostly BioHorizons®, Neodent® and MegaGen. However, at various times over the years, I have used most of the major systems.
What training have you undertaken?
I was fortunate to train in my residency under a world-renowned oral surgeon who was a pioneer in sinus augmentation and bone grafting. This sparked my initial enthusiasm for what was possible in implant dentistry. I took as much CE as possible and still do. I completed extensive training with Dr. Carl Misch and became a Fellow of the Misch Implant Institute and a Fellow of the International Congress of Oral Implantologists. I have also received vast amount of knowledge from Dr. Michael Pikos and the Pikos Institute. Dr. Frank Spear, Dr. John Kois, The Midwest Implant Institute®, and many others have also provided very valuable training.
What are the most satisfying aspects of your practice?
- The direct, tangible positive effects we can have on our patients’ lives.
- The autonomy to have the style of practice and lifestyle that a fee-for-service implant practice provides.
- Once I committed to being a “specialty general practice” and focus on implant dentistry, we no longer needed to worry about dental insurance. We submit insurance claims, but do not participate in any dental plans whatsoever.
- It is very satisfying to focus entirely on what is best for the patient, and not worry about insurance coverage, or yearly maximums.
Professionally, what are you most proud of?
Being able to give back by providing dental care to those in need both locally and internationally, I have provided dental care on medical missions to Malawi, Haiti, and Mexico. These trips continually open your eyes to what we take for granted. I am proud to have written The Complete Guide to Public Seminars for Dental Implants. This guide explains all the steps from marketing to slides and scripts — everything to walk you through the first seminar and schedule highly motivated pre-screened implant patients. I am also very excited about my co-authorship of Second-Chance Smiles — The Patient’s Guide to Dental Implants. When you give this to prospective patients, they will realize your expertise and learn about the process. All you need to do is add your bio, your philosophy, and background, and this information will be included in your book. We also are thrilled to offer a 2-day training course for your assistants in Denver, our Master Implant Dentist Live Course Dental Assistant Implant Training. We developed this course because we believe that one of the greatest keys to rapid implant growth in your practice is a dedicated and trusted team.
What do you think is unique about your practice?
We work very hard to connect with each individual patient and find out what is most important to him/her so that we can find a solution that best meets his/her needs. We don’t prejudge patients and only suggest limited treatment options. It’s amazing how many patients will accept ideal long-lasting full arch implants when presented properly. We routinely have patients return after a year or more of “thinking about it” to begin comprehensive care.
What has been your biggest challenge?
Finding the balance between my professional interests and taking on personal goals and challenges.
What would you have been if you didn’t become a dentist?
What is your top tip for maintaining a successful specialty practice?
Be confident without being arrogant. Treat every consultation as a sincere conversation with a friend. Don’t want the treatment more than the patient does.
What is the future of implants and dentistry?
New materials and digital workflow will greatly streamline the process. Single units are already very efficient and profitable. However, there is a long way to go toward integrating the existing technology and making it user-friendly for full arch implants. Some dentists love spending hours basically being a digital lab tech. I prefer to use my time treating and talking to patients. In-office 3D printers and milling units are getting better and less expensive, but the labs need to step up their services and become more of a partner in making full-arch implant treatment fast and efficient. Dentists also need to have a better understanding of all the processes and the underlying technology.
What advice would you give to a budding implant dentist?
My favorite quote is from Czech playwright Vaclav Havel who said, “Seek out those in search of truth, and run from those that have found it.” Some of the voices in implant dentistry can be very dogmatic. After so many years of practice, I have seen many trends and changes. You need to be willing to see what works best in your hands and be able and willing to change your mind and try new things. First and foremost, treat your patients as best as possible, and you will have them for your entire career. Many of them will be your best source of referrals. Also, spend the time to train and create an “Implant Concierge” who is your treatment coordinator, financial coordinator, and ideally, your lead surgical assistant. This person is invaluable and needs to think, talk, and act as you do. This will close more implant cases than you can imagine. This not a role that I believe can be divided up among several team members. The personal connection that this team member makes with your large case patients is critical to your success.
What are your hobbies, and what do you do in your spare time?
Mountain ultramarathons, rock climbing, and soccer. I clear my head best running on the mountain trails in Colorado. My wife Pam and I have three grown daughters with whom we enjoy traveling and spending time in the mountains.

The winner of this year's Comrades Road Race has tested positive for a banned stimulant and could lose his title.
Ludwick Mamabolo was the first South African winner at the storied Comrades ultra in seven years when he triumphed there on June 3. Today the South African Institute for Drug-Free Sport confirmed that Mamabolo tested positive for the banned stimulant methylhexanamine. If found guilty of doping, the 35-year-old Mamabolo will get a two-year ban from competition and will be stripped of his title.
According to exercise scientists Ross Tucker and Jonathan Dugas, who blog at The Science of Sport, methylhexanamine was developed as an ingredient in nasal decongestants. Once it was placed on the banned substance list in 2009, prominent athletes in many sports, including Jamaican sprinters, tested positive for it. As Tucker and Dugas point out, it's possible that someone testing positive for the stimulant may be taking cold medicine, although elite athletes should know they'll be tested and should be above-and-beyond careful to avoid medications containing banned substances.


You might think that since my husband is a paramedic, we have an elaborate first aid kit with all sorts of tape, bandages, creams and supplies for treating all sorts of emergencies. While those items and more can certainly be found in the back of his ambulance, our first aid kit is far from elaborate. In fact, it’s pretty simple.
Over the years, we’ve been able to simplify and consolidate our first aid kit so it contains a few multi-purpose natural remedies. I also love that our first aid kit creates little waste (which can’t be said for kits you’ll find in stores).
If you’d like to make a similar kit, I suggest the following:
Yarrow – This pretty little herb is a styptic, which means it has properties that promote clotting to stop bleeding. I keep yarrow flower in a small bottle and shake it onto cuts, then apply pressure with a bandage of some kind. The bleeding stops very quickly. I also infuse yarrow into ointment for the same effect. (find it here)
Antibiotic ointment – Many herbs offer powerful antibiotic properties (many are antiviral and antifungal as well). I keep a healing balm on hand that also acts as an antibiotic ointment. You’ll find the recipe below.
Homeopathic arnica – This is a great remedy to use in many first aid scenarios, including sprains, strains and exhaustion. Homeopathic arnica can even be used to help treat shock, which can happen with uncontrolled bleeding. It’s recommended to take some with any first aid incident. (find arnica here)
Aloe vera – This plant is great for soothing sunburns and other minor burns. I like to snip off a piece of my plant for burns but store-bought aloe vera gel is also very soothing and will keep longer in your first aid kit. (find aloe vera here)
Lavender essential oil – I first read about this remedy a few years ago and unfortunately have been able to test it many times since then. It works. After I get a burn, typically on my fingers while cooking, I quickly apply lavender essential oil, which helps relieve the pain. I then apply some of my healing balm, which has arnica, for pain relief. (find it here)
Frankincense essential oil – I love this essential oil for bites and stings! I’m allergic to mosquito bites and frankincense helps control the itching and swelling. It also quickly relieves the pain of a bee sting. (find it here)
Plantain weed – Plantain, one of the most wide-spread “weeds” in the world, is an herb that is used to soothe the skin and sore throats. It also provides great relief for bug bites and stings because its astringency creates a cooling effect. You might not always be able to find fresh plantain nearby, so I recommend keeping dried plantain leaves in your first aid kit. (See what it looks like here.) All instances I’ve read about using plantain leaf involve chewing on the leaf and applying it to the affected area. If you don’t want to chew it, I imagine you could squish it up a bit with your fingers and get it wet before applying it. (find it here)
Apis 12c – This homeopathic remedy is recommended as an anti-inflammatory and anti-histamine. It is useful for many symptoms brought on by allergies, including:
- Swelling of tongue, lips and eyelids
- Sore throat
- Hypersensitive and anaphylactic shock from allergens including chemicals, antibiotics and certain nuts
- Adverse reactions to insect bites and stings
Arnica balm – I have a confession. I like bruises. I think they’re cool. I even wanted a black eye as a kid. (Ok, obviously I didn’t think about how I would have to get that). But when I accidentally pulled over several sheets of RV paneling onto my leg, I figured I needed to do something about the bruises or they’d be there for a long, long time. Enter arnica balm. Arnica montana is great for relieving pain and helps bruises heal very quickly. Here’s a simple recipe for arnica balm.
Some other items to include
- First aid bag or box – pick something sturdy and portable to keep your first aid supplies in
- Toilet paper – A few squares at least. We use ½ a square to roll into a “plug” for nose bleeds. Before inserting into the nose, we roll it in an ointment infused with yarrow which speeds clotting. (The yarrow ointment is a recent discovery I wish I’d known about years ago.)
- Safety pins
- Bandages – Choose smaller squares and larger rectangular bandages. I prefer cloth so we can wash them and reuse them. You can cut up old t-shirts to use as bandages, and cloth pre-fold diapers are great because they’re so absorbent.
- Water bottle – I like to have a small bottle full of water in case I need to wet a cloth or bandage or if I need to rinse off a dirty injured area.
- Homemade hand sanitizer – I prefer hand washing with soap and water, but this homemade hand sanitizer is great in case you need to dress a wound or something but can’t wash your hands. (You can use components of the first aid kit and healing balm to make it!)
- Lozenges – Try making some of these herbal throat lozenges for scratchy sore throats and dry coughs.
Healing antibiotic ointment
I’m a minimalist and I really like multi-purpose remedies. So instead of putting several different balms in my first aid kit, I make one that serves as an antibiotic, styptic and healing balm.
- 4 oz shea butter (find it here)
- 3 oz coconut oil – after herbs have steeped, add enough coconut oil back to make the total weight of the oils 7 oz again – (find it here)
- 1 Tbsp calendula flowers, packed tightly (find calendula flowers here)
- 1 Tbsp comfrey leaf (find comfrey leaf here)
- 1 Tbsp arnica flowers, packed tightly (find arnica here)
- 1 Tbsp yarrow flowers (find it here)
- 1 Tbsp plaintain leaves (find it here)
- 1 Tbsp beeswax or candelilla wax (find waxes here)
- 5 drops tea tree essential oil (find it here)
- 5 drops lavender essential oil (find it here)
- ⅛ tsp Vitamin E oil (find it here)
Turn your oven on to 200°. When it’s warmed up all the way, turn it off. While it’s warming, melt the coconut oil and the shea butter in an oven-proof pan on your stove top. Add the herbs and move the pan into the oven. Let it steep there for at least 4 hours.
Tare a container on your kitchen scale. Strain the infused oils into this container. Add coconut oil until it equals 7 oz. again. Rinse out the pan you used before and put the oils back in there.
Warm the infused oil up on the stove top and add the wax, stirring until melted. Remove from heat and stir in the essential oils and Vitamin E oil. Pour into a clean container with a lid, label and store in a cool place.

Expert: Indoor tanning adds to skin cancer risk
Published 4:35 pm, Wednesday, March 30, 2011
Despite a link between indoor tanning bed use and an increased risk of melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer, 2.3 million teenagers visit tanning salons every year.
In the spring, many tanning salon patrons are college students getting ready for spring formals, and high school students gearing up for prom season. So it's no surprise that melanoma is now the most common form of cancer in young adults 25-29 years old, and the second most common form of cancer in adolescents and young adults ages 15-29.
“The damage caused by the ultraviolet (UV) radiation from tanning beds and the sun is cumulative and often irreversible, and the earlier people start to tan, the higher their risk of developing skin cancer in their lifetimes,” said Dr. Perry Robins, president of the Skin Cancer Foundation. “In fact, melanoma risk increases by 75 percent when indoor tanning begins before age 35.”
If the threat of skin cancer isn't enough to scare young people away from tanning salons, they should know that 90 percent of visible skin changes commonly attributed to aging are caused by exposure to UV radiation. Tanning accelerates the signs of aging, including wrinkles, leathering and fine lines, which can be seen as early as in one's twenties.

Since the time the novel coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, became a global threat, its manifestations and severity have been noted to range widely – from no symptoms at all to severe acute respiratory distress syndrome and other multi-system manifestations.
Researchers worldwide are working hard to understand the virus’s epidemiology, and some studies suggest that genetic aspects may play an important role.
Why is a certain subset of the population more prone to severe COVID-19 disease?
We know that older people and those with co-morbidities tend to suffer severe complications due to COVID-19, but disease response variabilities exist even in younger and healthier individuals. What is causing these variabilities? Perhaps the answer lies in the genetic makeup of the individuals.
Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, an RGA collaborator in the Longer Life Foundation, has joined 30 other genome sequencing hubs in undertaking studies to sequence the DNA of young, healthy individuals and children who develop severe complications despite having no underlying medical conditions. This analysis could reveal important immune pathways the body needs to fight the virus.
As with several other viral infections, at least one study has shown a close relationship between the genes that code for human leukocyte antigens (HLAs) and severity of COVID-19. HLAs are important proteins in determining how the immune system recognizes and mounts an immune response against infection. Research also suggests knowledge of HLA variation, through genetic sequencing, might provide critical information for effective vaccine design.
Similarly, toll-like receptors (TLRs), which have recently emerged as a key component of the innate immune system, play a role in detecting infection and triggering defense responses. TLRs could influence COVID-19 disease manifestation in men: Statistics suggest that almost 73% of severe COVID-19 cases in ICU in France were men, and a higher rate of mortality has been observed in men in many other countries as well. The copy number variation displayed in TLR genes is gender-specific, which may help at least partially explain the severity difference between male and female patients.
Collaborative studies to identify the role of genes and disease severity due to COVID-19
To establish the link between genetic composition and COVID-19 disease severity, Genomics England and GenOMICC (Genetics of Mortality in Critical Care) aim to sequence 35,000 COVID-19 patient genomes from individuals with mild, moderate, and severe disease to understand how a person’s genome could play a role in disease severity. Efforts led by consumer genetic testing companies are offering free genetic tests to patients infected with COVID-19 and using the results to study disease severity and genetic factors.
A recent study published in The New England Journal of Medicine shows that gene variants likely explain why some people become severely ill with the virus and why some remain asymptomatic. Interestingly, this genome-wide association study identified a 3p21.31 gene cluster as a genetic susceptibility locus in patients with severe COVID-19 disease. It also confirmed that blood group O individuals may be at lower risk of falling ill with COVID-19, whereas blood group A was associated with a 50% higher risk of requiring oxygen or ventilator support if infected with SARS-CoV-2.
Genome studies are increasingly helping scientists understand disease epidemiology and pathophysiology, as well as design new and precision treatments. A greater focus on genome sequencing of individuals to understand the biological impact of the virus may help identify individuals or populations at increased risk of developing serious or life-threatening complications.
The global initiatives underway will help unravel many questions, including why certain individuals and genders are more at risk and why some people resist infection despite frequent exposure to the virus. Genome studies continue to play an important role in understanding COVID-19 epidemiology and could lead to more targeted therapeutic and vaccine strategies, contrary to a “one size fits all” approach.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., May 18, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — InsideTracker, the leading ultra-personalized performance system, today announced the availability of Garmin® integration, making the next generation of InsideTracker the first consumer platform of its kind to give a full, 360-degree view of wellness by enabling users to combine blood biometrics with DNA insights and activity tracker data to optimize endurance, strength, healthspan/longevity and more.
When users integrate InsideTracker with data from their Garmin Connect™ account, they now get real-time health analytics and insights derived from physiomarkers like REM sleep, deep sleep and resting heart rate. Pairing these physiomarkers with blood and DNA results in recommendations that are more personalized, precise and effective.
For example, a user on the fully integrated InsideTracker system, whose decline in deep sleep is recorded by their Garmin device would get an InsideTracker ProTip calling out their genetic predisposition to low magnesium and prior low magnesium detected in their bloodwork, with a prompt to take a magnesium supplement prior to bed or increase daily intake of magnesium-rich foods like avocado, spinach and cashews.
“With this integration, we believe InsideTracker has unlocked the gold standard of health analytics to give our users a true inside view of wellness and deliver real-time holistic health insights,” Dr. Gil Blander, co-founder and chief science officer, InsideTracker, said. “Blood biomarkers are a true reflection of what’s going on inside your body, but are typically only tested once per quarter; DNA insights can provide clues to genetic potential, but only need to be tested once in a lifetime; health metrics and activity data from Garmin watches, however, show the daily impact of positive lifestyle and nutrition habits you can adjust with the right science to get closer to your goals.”
“I have been an InsideTracker and Garmin user, separately, for years, but having the two integrated in the same app is, truly, next-level for hitting my performance and longevity goals,” Alexi Pappas, Olympic runner, 10,000-meter national record-holder, Garmin athlete and InsideTracker user, said. “Previously, I was sitting on a heap of data, but didn’t know how to specifically use it to impact my own biology. InsideTracker’s science-backed ProTips make it simple for me to apply trusted science to daily habits and then see the change in my own biomarkers.”
To unlock the power of InsideTracker and Garmin integration, current InsideTracker users can simply download the new iOS app on the App Store. Garmin users who want to integrate with InsideTracker can visit InsideTracker.com, order the InsideTracker plan of their choice, then follow the prompts to sync with their Garmin Connect account and create a customized Action Plan based on their goals. The Android version of the InsideTracker app is expected in Q3 2021.
InsideTracker is the leading ultra-personalized performance system that analyzes data from your blood, DNA, lifestyle and fitness tracker to help you optimize your body and reach your health & wellness goals.
InsideTracker’s patented algorithm and expert system transforms the body’s biomarker data into knowledge, insights and customized action plans of science-backed nutrition, fitness and lifestyle recommendations.
Founded in 2009 by leading scientists in aging, genetics and biometric data from MIT, Tufts, and Harvard, InsideTracker’s mission is to improve the healthspan of people everywhere so they can enjoy longer, healthier lives – adding life to their years and years to their life.

The test-positive rate of Covid-19 in Bangladesh has been on the rise lately
More people have been getting infected with Covid-19 recently as the process of easing the lockdown was not conducted properly, experts have said.
The reopening of garment factories and markets also contributed to the increased rate of infection, with the situation likely to worsen as people rush home for Eid, they added.
After extending the lockdown several times since it was initiated on March 26, the government decided to extend it once more while at the same time easing restrictions on a limited scale from the first week of May.
According to the Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS), the death toll from the deadly Sars-CoV-2 coronavirus rose to 370 with 21 new deaths in the last 24 hours. The total number of infections stood at 25,121 with 1,251 new cases in the same time span.
DGHS Associate Professor (Epidemiology) Dr Md Rizwanul Karim Shameem said the number of confirmed cases would increase as the number of tests conducted per day had increased. A sudden spike in the increase of cases would pose difficult problems for the country.
Quoting DGHS data, the experts said Bangladesh had seen 11% of the total number of tests conducted come back positive. However, the rate has increased to 14-16% since May 12.
BSSMU virology Professor Saif Ullah Munshi said allowing movement, especially during the Eid rush period, would cause increased transmission of the novel coronavirus. It might lead to the virus spreading to rural areas that were yet to be affected.
“The possibilities of increasing the rate of transmission are certainly very high,” the professor added.
Dr Be-Nazir Ahmed of NIPSOM said asymptomatic coronavirus patients would not even realize they were spreading the virus, and those they infect would unknowingly spread the virus as well.
The professor blamed the increasing number of infections and deaths on the authorities' failure to control the Covid-19 situation and mismanagement at hospitals.
“It definitely shows that the measures that have been taken till now have failed to stop the transmission of the virus, causing the deaths of many people,” he said.
“Proper action needs to be taken to save areas little affected by Covid-19, in order to avoid further personal, financial, economic and social losses,” the public health expert added.
“The result of the Eid rush to get home will be felt after Eid, and that will define where we stand. All signs indicate that the situation will be much worse after Eid. Without properly planned initiatives, it will be impossible for the healthcare sector to cope with the problem,” he went on to say.


Massive skin replacement saves child's life
The German doctors realized they had to do something drastic or their seven-year-old patient would die. The boy had escaped war-ravaged Syria with his parents, and a rare genetic disease had left him with raw, blistering sores over 80 percent of his body. His doctors in a children’s burn unit tried everything they could to treat his illness, called junctional epidermolysis bullosa—even grafting some skin from his father to see if it would heal the child’s wounds. But his body rejected this. Finally, they e-mailed Michele De Luca, a researcher in Italy, to ask for help.
Twelve years earlier De Luca, director of the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia’s Center for Regenerative Medicine had successfully used gene therapy to restore skin on the legs of someone with a similar disease. No one had ever attempted using gene therapy to replace as much skin as the boy needed, however, and De Luca’s work had been sidelined by bureaucratic hurdles. But after nearly a decade of filing paperwork and improving his skin cell production system, De Luca was ready to try.
Click here to see the story on ScientificAmerican.com
The doctors took a small sample of skin from one of the few places on the boy’s body where it was not flaming red or flaking off, and sent it to De Luca. His team at the center used a virus to insert into the skin cells a correct copy of a gene called LAMB3; the boy’s own defective copy had caused his epidermolysis bullosa. De Luca and his colleagues grew the skin cells over scaffolds in their lab to form large sheets, the way doctors often do for burn patients.
In two surgeries in October and November 2015, the Italian and German teams covered the boy’s limbs, sides and back with these sheets of fresh skin. After being too sick even to get out of bed before his surgeries, “he was standing up already by Christmas,” De Luca says. In January 2016 the boy, whose name is not being released to protect his privacy, received a few more skin patches—and in February he was released from the University Hospitals of the Ruhr University Bochum in Germany.
A year later, the boy proudly showed off his skin to students and researchers in De Luca’s lab. “It was a quite moving moment,” says De Luca, who published a report on the treatment Wednesday in Nature. “After this 10 years of struggling to accomplish all these rules and paperwork and bureaucracy, the moment you see a patient like this, you understand it was worth it to do it.”
The boy’s epidermis—the top layer of skin—totally regenerated itself after the new cells were added, proving for the first time that the entire epidermis is sustained only by a relatively few stem cells in the skin, De Luca says. “Once you have regenerated the epidermis with stem cells, the stem cells behave like they’re supposed to: They adjust their number and they keep making the renewal of epidermis as a normal physiological situation,” he said Tuesday in a news conference.
Other researchers in the field say they are impressed with the team’s results. “It’s a fantastic piece of work,” says Cédric Blanpain, a professor and stem cell biologist at the Free University of Brussels, who wrote an opinion article accompanying the study. “This is a beautiful example of how you can move stem cells into the clinic in a very safe and powerful manner,” he says, also calling the work “a powerful demonstration that only a few stem cells are indeed maintaining the skin epidermis rather than many different progenitors.”
Some unusual pigmentation remains on the boy’s skin because of the earlier damage. But other than that, he is now a normal nine-year-old who is fond of soccer and running, De Luca says. “When we engrafted him he was 17 kilograms [37 pounds],” he adds. “Now, he’s a robust kid.”
His skin no longer blisters or itches, and unlike many burn patients who must apply ointment once or twice a day for the rest of their lives, his repaired skin needs no ongoing treatment. It also heals normally from cuts and bruises and now produces essentially normal levels of the protein laminin 332, which the child had lacked from birth due to his condition. The protein is crucial for, among other things, sticking the epidermis to the underlying dermis. The boy has no scarring, because his disease was literally only skin-deep. It did not affect the deeper dermis, where cuts trigger scars.
In patients with epidermolysis bullosa every skin cell has a genetic disorder that limits its ability to grow healthy skin. This is why De Luca had to correct the gene before growing new skin for the boy. The illness can be caused by one of several mutations. The defect on the boy’s LAMB3 gene gave him a devastating illness—but also may have made it easier to recover after the gene therapy, says Peter Marinkovich, an associate professor of dermatology and epidermolysis bullosa expert at Stanford University, who was not involved in the boy’s treatment. In his own research Marinkovich has used gene therapy to treat four patients with a different genetic form of epidermolysis bullosa. Those patients showed significant improvement but their skin did not engraft as smoothly as the boy’s, he says.
De Luca is collaborating with doctors in Salzburg, Austria, to conduct several early-stage clinical trials, testing his gene therapy approach on 20 more patients with two types of epidermolysis bullosa. The complicated treatment will not be cheap. “That’s the price we have to pay for advanced therapy for a genetic disease,” De Luca says. Caring for children with epidermolysis bullosa is not cheap either, Marinkovich notes, adding that it can cost $100,000 a year to dress their wounds—which is sometimes not covered by insurance.
In the future De Luca hopes to use the therapy on children younger than the boy, even on babies. Children with the most serious form of epidermolysis bullosa often die before they reach school age. Prevention, De Luca says, is better than restoration. “The sooner we do it,” he explains, “the better it is for the kids.” In a younger child who is less critically ill, still-healthy epidermis can be removed much more slowly and replaced in pieces over the course of a year or two, he says.
Because the treatment is still holding up in the patient De Luca worked with 12 years earlier, he is fairly confident the boy’s skin will remain healthy in the long term. But no one really knows, because the approach is so new. De Luca says he will follow the boy’s progress indefinitely to make sure he continues to thrive. Gene therapy, however, carries the risk of cancer, he notes. But he hopes that because this particular treatment involves the skin, any tumors will be easy to spot and can be quickly removed.
The gene therapy approach might also be helpful for other skin diseases someday. De Luca says he has enough work to do fighting epidermolysis bullosa. “It will,” he says, “take more time beyond my working life span.”

SANTA MONICA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Ontrak, Inc. (NASDAQ: OTRK) (“Ontrak” or the “Company”), a leading AI-powered and telehealth enabled, virtualized outpatient healthcare treatment company, today announced that the volume of evidence now pointing to a surge in mental health conditions may still understate the severity of the mental health crisis.
A recent Milliman Research Report commissioned on behalf of The Path Forward for Mental Health and Substance Use by the Mental Health Treatment and Research Institute found that the commercial “high cost behavioral group” accounted for only 5.7% of the population but 44% of total spend. This study was based on claims data from well before the pandemic and did not include Medicaid and the ageing Medicare members who typically have even higher medical expenditure.
Time Magazine Health has just reported that three times as many Americans met criteria for a depression diagnosis during the pandemic than before it and depression symptoms across a nationally representative survey skyrocketed from 8.5% to 28% of the U.S. population. Similarly, the most recent Kaiser Family Foundation Tracking Poll reported that for the first time since KFF began tracking this question in March, a majority of adults (53%) now say that stress and worry related to the pandemic has had a negative impact on their mental health. This is up 14 percentage points since May, and up 8 percentage points since the previous high of 45% in early April.
Mr. Terren Peizer, Chairman and CEO of Ontrak, stated, “There is now a preponderance of evidence that the mental health crisis in the country has overtaken our company estimates. We had previously attributed 30 to 35% of total medical spend to the high cost group, when the reality is now alarmingly higher. Even the Milliman figure of 44% likely underestimates the magnitude of the crisis, because it is based on pre-pandemic claims data, and does not include Medicare and Medicaid populations. What continues to be true is that the vast majority of the 5.7% group are treatment and care avoidant, and have multiple behavioral health conditions and chronic diseases, and therefore very high cost. Milliman indicates that the cost savings opportunity for an integrated medical and behavioral health approach could total between $37.6B and $67.8B. This is further validation of our strategy of serving care avoidant members through continued investment in a unique portfolio of evidence-based, whole health interventions, phenotyped to each member for maximum engagement and the best clinical outcomes. These are the unique Ontrak interventions that our health plan partners are rolling out across the country to ensure that the 5.7% of the population who account for at least 44% of healthcare costs are not left behind by the healthcare system.”
