For uncovering how a cell population helps ensure food, liquid and acid reflux are kept out of our airway — and instead sent to our gastrointestinal tract — Laura Seeholzer is the winner of the 2024 Eppendorf & Science Prize for Neurobiology. Her findings, detailed in April in Science
have motivated her to study what's happening with these cells in diseases where this critical protective reflex is compromised
"These findings are crucial for understanding potentially life-saving reflexes that are activated in the airway
in response to noxious stimuli," said Peter Stern
For most every breath we take and most every morsel or sip we consume
liquid and stomach acid are sent to the GI tract
this process can go wrong — a foreign agent can get into our airway
And at worst it can lead to airway blockage
or aspiration pneumonia — outcomes that occur frequently in people with neurological or esophageal disorders and which are a leading cause of aspiration pneumonia and mortality in older people
Scientists already know that sensory systems in the upper airway
rapidly detect the things that we need to exclude from our lungs
the larynx and trachea respond to foreign agents and clear them
But scientists don't know if the nerve fibers in the larynx and trachea act alone
Seeholzer's work uncovered another entity — neuroendocrine cells that operate in the larynx and trachea — that plays a protective role. In her prize essay, "(Don't) take my breath away," Seeholzer
a postdoctoral fellow at the University of California
writes that "you should thank your neuroendocrine cells the next time you clear water or acid reflux out of your airway."
Neuroendocrine (NE) cells are a rare group of epithelial cells throughout the larynx and trachea
They are known for their important role in repairing the airway epithelium after injury
They had not been thought to be involved in airway protection
because these cells are near sensory nerve fibers
Seeholzer and her colleagues speculated that they could be specialized sensory cells that play a role in protecting our lungs
Seeholzer said she wasn't even sure there were NE cells in the trachea and larynx when she started her work
I then used that to generate a hypothesis about their importance in the airway."
Her efforts involved work in cells and in mice and methods including calcium imaging
"I had been studying NE cells for a year or two to figure out what they detect
which could inform what they do," said Seeholzer
"I performed a sequencing experiment to see what the cells expressed
not many receptors were expressed that supported my hypothesis that these were sensory cells that could detect stimuli that could get into the airway
and professor and chair of physiology at UCSF
She explained her sequencing work was not revealing what NE cells detected
"He encouraged me to step back and think about what they could be detecting
and to use that to nominate substances the NE cells could be frequently exposed to."
That led to an "ah-ha!" moment she describes in her essay
where she changed how she set up her experiments
she discovered that water and strong acid solutions (like stomach acid) very consistently activated the NE cells
She then sought to understand what the water and acid did to the cells
she could specifically activate NE cells in mice
the mice started swallowing very quickly." Seeholzer attached a device to the mice to study related changes in breathing
"I very consistently saw that activating NE cells led to swallows and to cough-like reflexes." That supported her hypothesis that NE cells were detecting water and acid to elicit protective responses in the airway
She says NE cells add another layer — on top of sensory neurons researchers have previously studied — giving full protection in the airway
This was further evidenced by experiments in mice in which the NE cells were knocked out
This led to the airway not being fully protected against foreign threats
Seeholzer wants to understand how these cells operate both in healthy humans and those with diseases
Her findings suggest these cells are not functioning properly in people with dysphagia
which is the inability to swallow well — a major cause of mortality
"I'm really interested in looking at patients who aspirate frequently to see if there's something going on with cells there," she said
"And I'm interested in looking at what happens with these cells in people who smoke
There are also implications for people with refractory chronic cough
"Eppendorf and the journal Science have been awarding this prestigious prize since 2002," said Axel Jahns
vice president of corporate citizenship & governmental affairs at Eppendorf SE
the prize has acknowledged over 70 winners and finalists
who have gone on to become leading scientists in their field
Seeholzer on her amazing achievement in winning this year."
Seeholzer expressed how her supportive lab environment made it possible to achieve the findings she did
"The lab I'm in really made all the work fun and enjoyable," she said
Rosemary J. Cater is a finalist for the prize for her essay, "Food for thought." Cater received her undergraduate degree and Ph.D
After completing her postdoctoral fellowship at Columbia University
she started her laboratory at the University of Queensland's Institute for Molecular Bioscience in 2024
Her research uses an integrated structural biology approach to understand how nutrients obtained through the diet are transported across the blood-brain barrier
Claudia Kathe is also a finalist for the prize for her essay, "Rewiring movements." Kathe received an undergraduate degree and Ph.D
After completing her postdoctoral fellowship at Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne (EPFL)

World Business Outlook is a print and online magazine providing comprehensive coverage and analysis of the financial industry, international business and the global economy.
Cell and gene therapy (CGT) is becoming a big business
It is still relatively young compared to the rest of the biologics industry
but the seminal work of Shinya Yamanaka in 2006 to generate induced pluripotent stem cells via cellular reprogramming laid the foundations for the growth in CGT that we observe today
Exciting new opportunities to bring life-saving treatments to the world are emerging as we move away from autologous therapies towards more allogeneic applications
and processes are needed to render allogeneic therapies reliable and scalable
The latest innovations in upstream bioprocessing for CGT are eliminating the need for complex validation procedures
reducing regulatory burdens and accelerating manufacturing timelines
With the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning to optimize bioprocess parameters and predict outcomes
further innovations are just around the corner
Vice President of Eppendorf’s Bioprocess Unit based in North Rhine-Westphalia
who is in the forefront of bioprocessing innovation for CGT
Tao ascended to her current role through marketing and sales positions and clearly knows a thing or two about delivering for customers in the CGT field
Allogeneic therapies – riding the crest of a wave
Tao reminds us that the first stem cell-based therapy was clinically approved in 2009
marking a significant milestone in the development of CGT
she notes the shift from autologous to allogeneic therapies in which
healthy donor cells are modified to treat multiple patients
rather than tailoring treatments to each individual
This has had implications for bioprocessing
stem cell and CGT processes have been developed using 2D static systems which sufficed for research primarily focused on autologous applications,” she says
“But this allogeneic approach now brings new challenges as the processes need to be standardized and scalable,” she adds
2D static processes utilize plates and flasks that do not provide enough capacity or the expansion capability to cultivate enough cells
And that is where Eppendorf’s bioreactor technology comes in
Addressing bioprocessing challenges with Eppendorf solutions
Eppendorf’s stirred-tank bioreactors are an ideal solution for scale-up
operating from a few milliliters up to around 50 liters with single-use solutions
“Processes can be tested in small volumes and the technology transfer from small to larger volumes is assisted by appropriate software solutions that calculate the parameter settings needed for a straightforward scale-up process,” Tao explains
She further elaborates that the parallel control of multiple bioreactors in Eppendorf systems speeds up process development, fosters standardization, and saves costs – especially when single-use bioreactors such as the BioBLU® system are used
“Single-use bioreactors eliminate the need for time-consuming and costly cleaning and sterilization processes associated with traditional stirred-tank bioreactors,” Tao asserts
and enables faster turnaround times for production,” she adds
Single-use systems also eliminate the need for complex validation procedures
the adoption of single-use bioreactors in the CGT industry represents a transformative shift
ultimately supporting the commercialization of life-changing therapies,” she says
It is apparent that even shear stress-sensitive cells such as stem cells can be cultivated successfully in stirred-tank bioreactors
something that Eppendorf have been doing for more than a decade now
Their customers are now achieving yields of more than 35 million cells per milliliter
3D-stirred bioreactors – a new ‘gold standard’
3D-stirred bioreactors with single-use technology will become the new gold standard for CGT upstream bioprocesses
we believe that 3D stirred-tankbioreactors with single-use technology will become the new gold standard for CGT upstream bioprocesses due to their superior performance
as well as gene transfer and expression,” she says
Allied to Eppendorf’s advanced analytics and monitoring tools (and single-use bioreactors)
these technologies offer consistent and reproducible manufacturing
Staying ahead of the game – a culture of innovation
Collaboration with our customers is an essential part of the Eppendorf DNA
her team at Eppendorf has many successful examples of collaborations that have advanced bioprocessing in the CGT field
“We collaborate with the leading scientists and key opinion leaders in the field to stay at the forefront of innovation
We take the approach of listening and understanding our customers’ challenges and pain points
and we aim to develop solutions to overcome these challenges and advance their development,” she asserts
Robert Zweigerdt at the Hannover Medical School in Germany to develop a special 8-blade impeller
optimized for the cultivation of stem cells as aggregates
Zweigerdt achieved greater than 35 million cells per milliliter yield after just seven days of cultivation
“collaboration with our customers is an essential part of the Eppendorf DNA."
Eppendorf’s 70-year history in cell culture bioprocessing and more than a decade of experience in supporting the CGT industry underlines its credentials as a leader in bioprocessing technology development
Tao offers some tantalizing thoughts about what the near future may hold in bioprocessing
“We expect to see continued advancements in bioprocess automation
such as the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning to optimize process parameters and predict outcomes,” she enthuses
More discriminating assays and more rigorous research standards are emerging to support applications from disease modeling to therapeutic development
Eppendorf’s scalable BioBLU bioreactor portfolio enables 400-fold cell expansion in volumes between 100 mL and 40 L
Special BioBLU single-use bioreactor versions have been developed for the distinct requirements of suspension cells
Stem cell research recently celebrated its 60th anniversary
Although the first publications in this field appeared in the early 1960s
it took another 20 years before the first embryonic stem cells could be isolated
Another important milestone was passed in 2006
when Kyoto University’s Kazutoshi Takahashi
reported that they had used defined factors to reprogram differentiated cells to an embryonic-like state
This work led to induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) technology that made it much easier to conduct stem cell research
This technology not only simplified the procurement of stem cells
but it also made it possible to avoid the ethical concerns that attend the use of human embryonic stem cells
the first stem cell therapy for the treatment of limbal stem cell deficiency
a disease in which a regular corneal epithelium is missing
was approved by the European Medicines Agency
according to the Alliance for Regenerative Medicine
14 cell and gene therapies available in different markets across the world involve stem cells
The intervals between new therapies are becoming shorter and shorter
as the technology has matured to the point where clinical application is possible on a larger scale
Many established companies are investing heavily because stem cell–derived therapies
have great potential to revolutionize medicine
New technologies have also enabled the development of startups
These companies support the optimization of current production processes and the development of new therapeutic products
This article highlights some of the current challenges associated with the development of new stem cell–based therapies and how new technologies are overcoming these challenges
Stem cell therapy is a promising option for many diseases
particularly those for which cures are lacking
stem cell therapy holds promise for the repair of damaged tissue that has very low regeneration potential
as stem cells can be transformed through targeted differentiation into any adult tissue that would not have regenerated on its own
Tissues that are difficult to replace include lung parenchyma
The regeneration of nerve cells in particular holds great potential for the treatment of diseases associated with brain tissue losses
MaxWell Biosystems has developed high-density microelectrode arrays to study the function of neurons derived from iPSCs and other neuronal sources
Two-dimensional and three-dimensional cell culture systems that mimic in vivo conditions to varying degrees
are a valuable substitute for traditional animal models
Besides providing a crucial starting point for disease modeling
these systems offer significant opportunities for artificial intelligence
The technology provides additional information from network to subcellular resolution allowing the recording of axonal signals at unprecedented resolution and quality compared with conventional patch-clamp methods
particularly the observation of multiple loci in one measurement
new approaches to measuring the properties of individual cells rather than cell populations are being explored in the field of stem cell therapy
Some important biological processes are either completely or partially undetectable when tested with standard assays averaged over many cells
the latest technologies have enabled researchers to analyze ever smaller systems and even go down to the level of individual cells
Bulk tissue sequencing has been replaced by multicell analysis
where normal development and disease processes can be studied at single-cell resolution and a link can be made between the cell’s phenotype and its genotype
and proteome high-throughput assays provide new and valuable insights into different developmental pathways
one must be able to work with very small volumes (down to the picoliter range) and samples
Cellenion produces instruments for single-cell dispensing and precise reagent dispensing in small volumes
Cells can be dispensed into individual wells by systems that integrate acoustics
such systems can sort cell types based on fluorescence signals and distinguish between active and dead cells.) The isolation of single cells is necessary to enable multiple applications
including single-cell omics and cell line development
One example of a single-cell omics application is the characterization of circulating tumor cells (CTCs)
which are thought to be the seeds of metastasis in patients with malignant tumors
these cells have the potential for tissue formation and show genomic instability
Metastasis of a primary tumor is always associated with a significant worsening of prognosis for cancer patients
so it is important to understand how CTCs form metastases
and other constituents of isolated CTCs could inform the development of therapies capable of targeting CTCs for destruction or preventing new metastases
such therapies could dramatically improve the outcomes for many tumor patients
CTCs are extremely rare in peripheral blood (1 in 1011 cells)
which makes their isolation from regular blood cells very challenging
CTCs can be isolated with single-cell sorting technologies for further studies in a purity that was previously unattainable
The manufacture of stem cell–based therapies must be carried out under strict quality controls that satisfy regulatory bodies and ensure the safety of potential patients
Such therapies use “living drugs” derived from tissues or cells to treat various diseases
advances in cell therapies require that large volumes of high-quality cell collections be produced through high-throughput and traceable bioprocessing systems
As the industry moves from autologous to allogeneic cell therapies
the single-use bioreactor is becoming the preferred tool for manufacturers
who value its ability to improve process control and facilitate scalable production
Besides enabling the shift from autologous to allogeneic products
single-use bioreactors are enabling another kind of shift
the transition from laboratory research to reliable manufacturing
They may prove crucial to realizing the full potential of stem cell therapies
such as the bioreactors in Eppendorf’s BioBLU series
single-use bioreactors eliminate the need for cleaning after each use
eliminate the risk of contamination from previous batches
Single-use bioreactors also offer noninvasive sensors for temperature
This avoids direct contact of the sensors with the medium and further reduces the risk of contamination
Eppendorf has also developed tools for process development in cell and gene therapy
the company offers miniature bioreactor systems
Such systems are intended for statistical design of experiments and the standardization and streamlining of process developments
A major problem with iPSCs is their inherent genetic instability
which often leads to inconsistent batch quality and represents a major challenge in this field
This problem cannot be solved by simply removing contaminants such as bacteria or cells of previous batches
but rather must be addressed with cell line development and strict quality control mechanisms
To enhance the quality of stem cell research results and protect the reputation of the stem cell field as a whole
the International Society for Stem Cell Research has issued a guidelines document
Standards for Human Stem Cell Use in Research
offered this comment: “[We] will be introducing the checklist for authors that accompanies the guidelines on a trial basis … My colleagues and I feel this is a major step forward in ensuring rigor and reproducibility in all areas of stem cell research.”
“These new standards put a lot of pressure on existing developers of stem cell therapies,” notes Annick Marcellin
The company offers solutions to many challenges in stem cell research
including a range of genomic integrity tests and cell line authentication products
The company also specializes in quality control issues in the development and production of stem cell therapies
New approaches based on digital PCR enable the detection of the most common genomic abnormalities in iPSCs with a turnaround time of just a few days
the company aims to bring improved assays into the market that enable the detection of iPSCs at lower detection limits
Stem Genomics’ products also include next-generation sequencing assays that enable a more detailed analysis of cell lines and methods that can screen for common bacterial contaminants such as Mycoplasma species throughout the cell culture life cycle
Stem cell therapies have reached a point where they can be used clinically to a limited extent for selected diseases
stem cell therapies show promise against type 1 diabetes
which affects more than 8 million people worldwide
The condition is caused by the destruction of a small but crucial population of cells
There are only a few of these cells in healthy people
but their destruction can quickly lead to fatal consequences
The regeneration of these islet cells through stem cell therapy promises to permanently cure this form of diabetes and drastically improve the quality of life of those affected
The technologies that have been presented in this article reflect the current status of stem cell therapy development
They are also poised to contribute to the continuous progress that has always characterized the field

Flavio Donato has been named the 2017 grand prize winner in the annual international competition for The Eppendorf & Science Prize for Neurobiology
Curious about the brain's "instruction manual" during development
Donato sought to make sense of how the brain's components work together to form a highly functional organ
"We must start applying the same technologies developed for the study of adult circuits to developing circuits
so that researchers can successfully examine how function emerges from the fascinating orderly mess that is the brain during the first weeks of life
Only by integrating the investigation of neural circuit assembly
structure and function can we then really have a chance to comprehend how the brain as a whole gives rise to those sophisticated phenomena that make us who we are," Donato said
it has been well established that for parts of the brain to mature and establish the specific connections that make cognition possible
waves of neural activity must spread from the eyes
and nose to the center of the nervous system
Sensory experience in young animals is instrumental in this phenomenon
and the sensory organs are the source of this developmental signal
Seeking additional insight into similar mechanisms at work in other centers of the brain
Donato and his team discovered that the signal to develop one area known to be involved in more abstract functions
in a specific population of neurons that kicks off the maturation of an entire neural network
those cells seemed to be intrinsically programmed to perform this operation
since their own maturation likely depended on a clock that started ticking the moment they developed
the part of the brain known to function in memory and navigation
Researchers have good methods for labeling neurons based on where in the brain they developed
but the methods for labeling neurons that develop at the same time are less precise
Donato pioneered a strategy that allowed his team to find the neurons responsible for building the entorhinal-hippocampal region targeted toward the developing brains of mice at specific time points
The technique allowed him to zero in on and label populations of neurons that develop at the time of labeling
without any previous understanding about their identity beyond their birthdate
Donato emphasized that this labeling step was key to closely tracking development among a crowd of neurons
in addition to manipulating their activity at later stages of life
"These experiments opened up a new world to us," Donato said
"By observing entorhinal-hippocampal neurons based on their birthdate
we realized that these cells were somehow special and very different from the other surrounding cell types
which was instrumental to find out how and to what extent they influenced the assembly of the network."
Donato's prize-winning essay
"Assembling the brain from deep within," highlights how his results have important implications in degenerative brain disorders such as Alzheimer's disease
"Many neurological conditions seem to target specific populations of neurons that are more susceptible than others to molecular events underlying the pathology," he wrote
one of the first cell types affected by the pathology is one that we've observed to play a leading role in the development of the entorhinal-hippocampal network." Donato believes that further investigation may someday give scientists the ability to "slow down or even rescue the deficits that such pathologies produce in the brain."
Knowing how these cells mature during development might lead to a better grasp of just how to replicate that process in the adult brain
which could eventually pave the way to strategies that rejuvenate aging circuits
"Flavio Donato investigated a critical aspect of circuit maturation in the developing brain," said senior Science editor Peter Stern
and his meticulous attention to detail that helped him win this year's prize."
who is currently completing his postdoctoral fellowship at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology
said next steps will involve delving into the "early-life dynamics necessary for the production of circuits that represent space in the brain
and help humans create memories of life's everyday events."
Donato and the following finalists will be recognized at a prize ceremony in conjunction with the Annual Meeting of the Society for Neuroscience
The ceremony will be held at Science/AAAS Headquarters in Washington D.C

The independent jury chaired by Prof
Austria as the winner of the Eppendorf Award for Young European Investigators 2024.
receives the 20,000 euro award for his research on the molecular machines that generate and export messenger RNA
The award is given in recognition of his ground-breaking discoveries revealing the mechanisms by which messenger RNA is produced and matured
mRNA production involves multiple complex cellular machines that process and guide the maturation and ultimate export of mRNA from the nucleus to the cytoplasm.
“Plaschka’s structural and mechanistic investigations have revealed fundamental insights into how cells express genes and his work has implications for human diseases involving mutations in core mRNA processing machines”
Clemens Plaschka: „I am absolutely delighted to receive the 2024 Eppendorf Award for Young European Investigators
This award is a special recognition for our highly motivated research team
whose efforts have made this possible
I am also very thankful for the exceptional support by the IMP and Boehringer Ingelheim
our colleagues at the Vienna BioCenter and beyond
The award recognizes our contributions to reveal the structural mechanisms by which a human mRNA is made
we look forward to further understanding the molecular processes that regulate how mRNA is made and destroyed.“
In addition to the winner of the Eppendorf Award 2024
Assistant Professor and Group Leader at the Max Perutz Laboratories at the University of Vienna is honored for her work on engineering new strategies for transposon-mediated genetic manipulation and on-revealing the structural basis for CRISPR-associated transposition. "Querques' work not only uncovers new mechanistic insight into how these mobile units enable site-specific insertion
but also provide new programmable strategies for targeted genetic modifications," said the jury.
is honored for his research on the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying heart regeneration

Eppendorf has launched the first centrifuge on the market to be deemed sustainable under the My Green Lab ACT label
and how it plays into wider sustainability goals
bioprocess vendor and lab suppler Eppendorf said last month its microcentrifuge with hydrocarbon cooling product ‘Centrifuge 5427 R’ is the first centrifuge to be awarded ACT label certification
The ACT (Accountability, Consistency, Transparency) label is an accreditation scheme launched by non-profit My Green Lab in 2017 aimed at providing industry transparency about the environmental impact and recyclability of lab equipment
so we spoke with Eppendorf to understand what such accreditation really means and how it fits in with continued sustainability efforts
Eppendorf: Eppendorf proudly supports sustainability aspects in the laboratories for many years
Based on our longterm-cooperation with My Green Lab since 2017
we decided to expand the portfolio of ACT-labeled products at My Green Lab
After ULT (Ultra Low Temperature) freezers and manual pipettes
we now received the ACT label for the first centrifuge worldwide
In close relationship with the My Green Lab team
we analyse new product groups for the ACT label
Due to our longterm experience with many different product groups at Eppendorf
we want to support the ACT label to expand the range of products with ACT label
we also received the ACT label for our CombiTips advanced recently
Eppendorf: The ACT program is – to our knowledge – the only global program for laboratory equipment which addresses sustainability aspects and product life aspects
we were just a very small group of suppliers supporting My Green Lab
most of the bigger suppliers of lab equipment participate and label products by ACT
many pharma accounts are asking for ACT labeled products and also academic accounts are interested
ACT is an independent third-party organization
providing user some independent validation of lab products
Eppendorf: Every new validation system requires some experience and adaptions
As Eppendorf is used to validations due to its ISO certifications of 9011 and 14001
there are some information about the products which required some more work as they were not documented in a way that My Green Lab was able to benefit from it
we improve and optimize the process of data collection internally
Due to the close interaction with My Green Lab
all open tasks can easily be discussed until both parties have a common understanding
Eppendorf: The transformation of the company to become greener and more sustainable is a journey
we already started with this concept in 1945 when our founders stated their vision ‘to improve human living conditions.’ Similar to this
we focused on ergonomic design of our products already at least 20 years ago (PhysioCare concept)
hydrocarbon based cooling was launched 2008 by our freezer team
there was a growing focus on classic sustainability topics
This includes the launch of our biobased tubes in summer 2022 as well as the change to 100% green contract power in all our factories (except Japan)
Our goal to cut the carbon emissions in our own operations until 2028 is a challenging target for the next months and years
Our customers appreciate this continuous adaption of Eppendorf
Eppendorf: We will continue to improve our sustainability aspects
we will launch our first hydrocarbon-based refrigerated centrifuge
We will expand our biobased consumable portfolio
All these new steps require close interactions with our stakeholders
This journey can only be done in cooperation

Steady growth in demand for its bioreactor systems has led Eppendorf to expand its site in Jülich
Germany through the addition of a 3,600 m² facility
The final construction phase of the three-story building began last week
which once operational will more than double production space and increase production capacity by 20% at Eppendorf’s site
“The new building offers significantly increased production space for manufacturing bioprocess controllers with the corresponding accessories,” said a spokesperson from the bioprocess vendor
software for controlling the devices are developed and set up there.”
Among the bioprocess technologies manufacturedat Jülich are the DASbox 2.0 and DASGIP bioreactor systems
The former is a mini bioreactor system targeted at small working volumes in research and early process development projects
while the latter are designed to deliver optimal bioprocess performance in benchtop configurations
demand for such systems has been growing steadily wordwide
“With the expansion of the site in Jülich and the new multifunctional building for €12.5 million [$12.5 million]
we are responding to this ongoing development
The construction project is a commitment to the site and a sustainable safeguard for our production there
The growing Bioprocess business of Eppendorf will also create more jobs.”
They added that while demand for COVID-19 related products is on the decline it was the pandemic that further drove the expansion as it showed how much Eppendorf and its products were needed
“This will continue to be the case in the future
With the new building and the capacity growth we are strengthening Eppendorf and our Bioprocess business.”
