The net proceeds will enable Relation to advance its osteoporosis pipeline towards the clinicbe and to accelerate company's discovery of novel biology, targets and medicines.
The collaboration aims to establish proof-of-concept use of an injectable cartilage regeneration therapy that has been developed with donor-sourced, (allogeneic) umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells to treat cartilage injury, including osteoarthritis of the knee.
This collaborative effort aims to expand and diversify Genflow's research pipeline for conditions such as Sarcopenia, the progressive loss of muscle mass and function associated with ageing.
This grant will explore a cell therapy approach for the treatment of osteoarthritis via delivery of human mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) and adipose-derived stem cells (ASC) in the form of three-dimensional hydrogels.
The investment will support Altay Therapeutics’ unique approach to finding an inhibitor of DUX4, a key transcription factor implicated in FSHD, that could provide an effective disease-modifying treatment.
As per collaboration agreement, the project aims to use in-vivo genome editing, in mouse models of DMD, to fully and precisely restore the function of the dystrophin protein.
