It’s World Continence Week, and one of the themes this year is women’s health and incontinence. The AMELIE team is developing a new therapy for people who have faecal incontinence after anal sphincter injury, including injuries caused during childbirth. #continencematters

The first patient was recently treated in the AMELIE clinical trial! The team at The Royal London Hospital implanted healthy muscle cells attached to microscopic beads in humans for the first time.

Last week we had the opportunity to present AMELIE (Horizon 2020 funded project) at VC Café London, where we hosted a stand showcasing our approach to treating faecal incontinence and supporting women’s health.

Clinician input needed! The AMELIE Project is developing a minimally invasive regenerative therapy for faecal incontinence using injectable autologous muscle-derived cells. We’re now seeking insight from HCPs.

In case you missed it: This paper looked at whether tiny, implantable beads carrying human muscle cells can be safely frozen and stored for later medical use. amelie-project.eu/publicatio…

The researchers tested different freezing and thawing methods and found that the muscle cells survived well, stayed attached to the beads, and still behaved normally after thawing. The beads themselves also remained structurally sound.

This means that in the future, these cell-based treatments could be produced in advance, stored in a “cold chain” and delivered to hospitals when needed, making regenerative therapies much more practical and accessible.

The AMELIE project has taken great strides this year! We saw the compilation of documents for regulatory approval, and received UK and EU clinical trial authorisation. And we recently recruited the first patient! Find out more: amelie-project.eu
