Excerpt from the Aytu BioScience press release this week:

ENGLEWOOD, CO / ACCESSWIRE / April 20, 2020 / Aytu BioScience, Inc. (NASDAQ:AYTU) (the “Company”), a specialty pharmaceutical company focused on commercializing novel products that address significant patient needs announced today that it has signed an exclusive worldwide license from Cedars-Sinai to develop and commercialize the Healight Platform Technology (“Healight”). This medical device technology platform, discovered and developed by scientists at Cedars-Sinai, is being studied as a potential first-in-class treatment for coronavirus and other respiratory infections.

The company will host a live conference call and webcast Tuesday, April 21, 2020 at 4:30 p.m. ET. Conference call details are provided at the end of this press release.

Led by Mark Pimentel, MD, the research team of the Medically Associated Science and Technology (MAST) Program at Cedars-Sinai has been developing the patent-pending Healight platform since 2016 and has produced a growing body of scientific evidence demonstrating pre-clinical safety and effectiveness of the technology as an antiviral and antibacterial treatment. The Healight technology employs proprietary methods of administering intermittent ultraviolet (UV) A light via a novel endotracheal medical device. Pre-clinical findings indicate the technology’s significant impact on eradicating a wide range of viruses and bacteria, inclusive of coronavirus. The data have been the basis of discussions with the FDA for a near-term path to enable human use for the potential treatment of coronavirus in intubated patients in the intensive care unit (ICU). Beyond the initial pursuit of a coronavirus ICU indication, additional data suggest broader clinical applications for the technology across a range of viral and bacterial pathogens. This includes bacteria implicated in ventilator associated pneumonia (VAP).

“Our team has shown that administering a specific spectrum of UV-A light can eradicate viruses in infected human cells (including coronavirus) and bacteria in the area while preserving healthy cells,” stated Dr. Pimentel of Cedars-Sinai. Ali Rezaie, MD, one of the inventors of this technology states, “Our lab at Cedars-Sinai has extensively studied the effects of this unique technology on bacteria and viruses. Based on our findings we believe this therapeutic approach has the potential to significantly impact the high morbidity and mortality of coronavirus-infected patients and patients infected with other respiratory pathogens. We are looking forward to partnering with Aytu BioScience to move this technology forward for the benefit of patients all over the world.”

The company believes the Healight platform technology has the potential to positively impact outcomes for critically ill patients infected with coronavirus and severe respiratory infections. The company licensed exclusive worldwide rights to the technology from Cedars-Sinai for all endotracheal and nasopharyngeal indications. Patents have been filed by Cedars-Sinai Department of Technology Transfer, and Aytu BioScience will manage all aspects of intellectual property prosecution and filing globally. Aytu BioScience expects to partner the product outside the U.S.

“We are honored to be partnering with Cedars-Sinai as we believe the Healight therapeutic platform has the potential to help many patients during this coronavirus pandemic and beyond,” said Josh Disbrow, Chairman and CEO of Aytu BioScience.

The Company is engaging with the research team at Cedars-Sinai and the FDA to determine an expedited regulatory process to potentially enable near-term use of the technology initially as a coronavirus intervention for critically ill intubated patients.

Disbrow continued, “This first-in-class technology has the potential to be a game changer for clinicians treating patients infected with coronavirus and other respiratory conditions, and our team is working tirelessly alongside the Cedars-Sinai team to determine the safety and effectiveness of this device in humans.”

I guess they’re waiting for Bill’s super vaccine and chip.

[sonrise57]

It is becoming more and more obvious that there are forces at work in this world that do not want to find a solution to this corona virus problem. I have not been prone to conspiracy theories but my resistance to this way of thinking is being sorely tested.

[Steven Tyler]

Or this guys work on FAR UVC light
A physics approach to microbes, virus and bacteria

http://www.columbia.edu/~djb3/Far%20UVC.html

[Da Coyote]

Of course.
Only liberals know what will work (despite the fact that they have a 100% failure rate thus far).

But wait, wait, this time their ideas will work. Guaranteed.

[Alas Babylon!]

To me, this story isn’t about whether UV light can or cannot help, but rather Youtube and their absolutely disgusting POLITICAL reasons to pull this video.

There are many others videos about subjects they disagree with or are opposed to politically they pull that should be left alone.

Sure, they can do this legally, but they really suck and are penny wise and pound foolish to do so. I’m just one guy, not a tech giant, but they’re going to back themselves into losing their property some day.

And in on that day, I’ll smile.

[Darksheare]

Youtube says we should ONLY listen to the WHO.

[LastDayz]

My question is why 222nm and not 254nm when 254nm was proven years ago to destroy these types of pathogens.

[DannyTN]

This claims to be a reupload of the video

[wmarshalllives3]

Anything that would help end the lock down imposed by these statist leftists must be removed from power. The reptiles of the left do not care about the deaths of Americans, they want power and they do not care how many bodies they have to climb over to get it.

Suggest alternatives to Youtube:

Vimeo = an alternative.

Twitch - mostly gaming.

UGETube — sponsored by Utah Gun Exchange.
Recommend over the other two. Much smaller, it is time to grow.

[Husker24]

Maybe 224 also destroyes cells and human dna?

[[It is becoming more and more obvious that there are forces at work in this world that do not want to find a solution to this corona virus problem.]]

Exactly

[[I have not been prone to conspiracy theories]]

It’s no longer a conspiracy ‘theory’, it’s a conspiracy fact- the left are doing everything in their power to prevent quick safe and efficient treatments for the virus- and, they are blatantly and deliberately putting infected people into nursing homes where the sick and elderly reside (article today on that infact)

The opposition to using quick safe and effective treatments is Satanic in nature- Banning the use of these drugs and therapies, when we have no other alternatives for saving lives right now, is Satanic- all out negligent homicide- blatant disregard for human life

Why? 2 Reasons 1: Orange man bad- can’t give him credit for anything- and 2: To keep the story front and center i nthe news- them ore deaths, the bigger the viewing audience

I’m tellin ya it’s Satanic- Satan is the destroyer- He’s the Evil One hell bent on destroying what God has made (mankind)- there can be no other explanation for opposing life saving drugs and treatments -

[Maris Crane]

I hope we can get to the bottom of this.

This really scares me.

Who is Susan Wojciski?

She's the one that threatened just days ago to remove any content that was against the WHO.

Susan Diane Wojcicki is an American technology executive. She has been the CEO of YouTube since February 2014. Wojcicki was involved in the founding of Google, and became Google's first marketing manager in 1999. She later led the company's online advertising business and was put in charge of Google's original video service. After observing the success of YouTube, Wojcicki proposed the acquisition of YouTube by Google in 2006. Wojcicki has an estimated net worth of nearly $500 million.

[Cboldt]

Maybe just an artifact of the light generator, and being more energetic, lower intensity gets the job done.

[litehaus]

U Toob Sux !!!

[Maris Crane]

Thank you so much.

Did they off an explanation for why the original was removed?

I guess that would be asking too much.
