For the first time ever, Koai Martin, a Vidant Health administrative fellow, was photographed wearing her afro, a black blazer, and pearl earrings. “I have always taken my professional pictures with straight hair because that has always been deemed the ‘professional’ look,” Martin told Good Morning America. “Over the past year or so I have become more comfortable rocking my natural hair in professional settings and I could not feel any better.” Martin started her natural hair journey in 2019, but didn’t feel comfortable wearing her curly fro in professional environments. So, she opted for straight protective styles like box braids. “I was the most comfortable this way because I have always been told and taught that straight hair is ‘more professional’ or ‘more acceptable.’ So when I started my professional career and I saw practically none of the Black women I worked with wearing any natural hairstyles, I assumed all the things I had been told were right,” she told Good Morning America. Martin said over the past two years, she’s evolved into a better person and wearing her hair…

PolarityTE's skin repair hopeful has run into an FDA setback over chemistry, manufacturing and control issues. (PolarityTE) Manufacturing issues are common with regenerative medicines. And so it goes for PolarityTE's investigational new drug submission for SkinTE. On Tuesday the Salt Lake Salt Lake City biotech revealed that it has put its investigational new drug (IND) application on hold in chronic cutaneous ulcers to address chemistry, manufacturing and control (CMC) issues raised by the agency. The FDA wants a more clear idea of the cellular makeup of SkinTE and how that relates to the product’s effectiveness, Richard Hague, president and COO of Polarity said in an interview. The company has submitted data to the FDA to address those concerns, he added. On its website, PolarityTE describes SkinTE as "donated human tissue for autologous, single application use only." The company manufactures the product from a patient's own tissue, using the "patient's own body to support the regenerative process," the biotech says. The FDA will explain the action further when it issues a clinical hold letter to the company by Sept. 21. PolarityTE submitted its application on July 23.
