Sana Biotechnology (NASDAQ: SANA) has achieved a groundbreaking milestone in treating Type 1 diabetes, as published in the New England Journal of Medicine. The company successfully transplanted hypoimmune (HIP)-modified pancreatic islet cells in a 42-year-old patient with type 1 diabetes, marking the first successful transplantation without immunosuppression.

The study demonstrated that the transplanted cells survived, evaded immune detection, and produced insulin over a 12-week period, with additional positive data at 6 months. The patient, who had lived with diabetes for over three decades, showed measurable insulin production for the first time in 35 years.

Building on these results, Sana is developing SC451, a HIP-modified, stem cell-derived therapy, with plans to file an IND application as early as 2026. The company aims to provide a one-time treatment for type 1 diabetes patients that enables normal blood glucose levels without requiring insulin or immunosuppression.

Flagship Pioneering has unveiled Terrana Biosciences, a new agricultural technology company developing RNA-based solutions for crop enhancement and protection. The company emerges with an initial $50 million commitment from Flagship Pioneering after four years of platform development.

Terrana's proprietary RNA technology platform enables the development of targeted products that can work throughout a plant's lifecycle, creating solutions that adapt to variable climate conditions. The company has already demonstrated proof of concept in tomatoes, corn, and soy, and generated a pipeline of over 15 potential products in specialty and row crops.

The company's platform leverages AI and computational models to assemble a vast RNA library and design system for creating novel functional crop traits. Their solutions aim to help farmers combat diseases and pests, adapt to climate conditions, and maintain soil health, while offering advantages over conventional approaches in terms of timing flexibility and environmental impact.

Sana Biotechnology (NASDAQ: SANA) reported positive six-month clinical results from a groundbreaking type 1 diabetes study using their hypoimmune (HIP) technology. The first-in-human study demonstrated that transplanted pancreatic islet cells (UP421) survived and produced insulin without requiring immunosuppression. The results showed consistent C-peptide levels, indicating insulin production, with increased levels during mixed meal tolerance tests. MRI scans confirmed graft survival after six months. The study, conducted with Uppsala University Hospital, builds on previous 4-week and 12-week results, showing no safety issues and successful immune evasion. Sana is now developing SC451, a HIP-modified, stem cell-derived therapy, with plans to file an IND next year. The breakthrough could potentially offer a functional cure for the over 9 million people globally affected by type 1 diabetes, enabling normal blood glucose control without insulin or immunosuppression.

Sana Biotechnology (NASDAQ: SANA) will present updated six-month clinical results for UP421, their hypoimmune-modified primary islet cell therapy for type 1 diabetes, at the 85th Annual American Diabetes Association Scientific Sessions. The presentation, scheduled for June 23, 2025, in Chicago, will highlight data from a first-in-human study where UP421, an allogeneic primary islet cell therapy using Sana's hypoimmune (HIP) technology, was transplanted into a patient without requiring immunosuppression. The presentation will be part of a joint symposium between the American Diabetes Association (ADA) and International Pancreas & Islet Transplant Association (IPITA) focused on immune protection for cell replacement therapy.
