Scripps Research Receives A Generous Gift From GS
Humane Corp. To Study New Treatments For Prostate Cancer
Scripps Research recently received a generous gift from
GS Humane Corp. in memory of its founder, Gene Shapiro,
to support a post-doctoral fellow to work on developing new
treatments for prostate cancer.
The fellow will work with Kendall Nettles, Ph.D., whose
lab at Scripps Research is currently working to develop small
molecule drug candidates to potentially treat prostate cancer,
particularly recurrent prostate cancer that is dependent on the
hormone cortisol.
“Our goal is also to improve on the molecules given
during chemotherapy, so we’re trying to make molecules
that have fewer side effects,” said Dr. Nettles. “Synthetic
drugs can cause muscle wasting and osteoporosis. We’re
working on developing drugs that avoid that. Government
funding for this type of work has declined over the past
15 years, so this gift is going to give us a real boost in Mel Lamster, Sheldon Schneider, Kendall Nettles, Ph.D. and
accelerating our research.” Jack Robbins

Scripps Research is one of the world’s leading nonprofit
biomedical research institutes, with campuses in Jupiter, Fla.,
and La Jolla, Calif. More than 200 laboratory teams perform
deep investigations into fundamental biological science as
well as drug discovery and development.
GS Humane Corp. is a grant-making nonprofit based in
New York primarily focused on animal welfare, education,
combatting hate and anti-Semitism and Jewish education. Its
founder, Gene Shapiro, passed away in 2015 from prostate
cancer. One of GS Humane’s board members, Palm Beach
Gardens resident Sheldon Schneider, facilitated the gift with
assistance from BallenIsles residents Mel Lamster and Jack
Robbins, who each year support Scripps Research through
a charitable golf tournament at BallenIsles.

and marketers. There have already been many false claims
made about certain supplements, medicine and even CBD,
that stated these can help with preventing or helping battle
the coronavirus. Needless to say, all these claims are false.
CBD has great properties to help the body reduce certain
pains and inflammation, aid the endocannabinoid system
and assist in handling moods such as anxiety or stress, as
well as insomnia or quality of sleep. Some of these may
coincide with helping your immune system and general
health. For example, if you are only getting four hours of
sleep each night, or you are ridden with anxiety throughout
the day, your health can very well suffer as a direct result. So
CBD can help in an ancillary fashion, but there has been no
long-term proof that it will directly make the body stronger
and create a more effective immune system. There have been
some studies that show CBD can help reduce self-harming
autoimmune and inflammatory responses when working as
an immune system modulator.
To help in the defense and handling of the coronavirus,
you are much better off boosting your immune system the
natural way, promoting a healthier gut by incorporating
products like high quality probiotics, and foods like fresh
fruits, veggies, and soluble fibers. These should be a part
of your daily diet regardless of the times we live in today.
These components plus at least seven hours of sleep, low
stress/anxiety, proper exercise and mental stimulation can
go a much longer way in helping you stay healthy and ready
for anything by helping your body defend itself.
