Company rapidly moving toward clinical development of cell-free biologic therapy as study published in Translational Stroke Research demonstrates human neural exosomes improve tissue and functional recovery in pre-clinical model
January 03, 2018 08:00AM, ATHENS, Ga. — ArunA Biomedical announces the official launch of a new class of cell-free exosome biologics to treat central nervous system and neurodegenerative disorders. With an initial focus on an exosome therapeutic for stroke, the company published results of a study today in Translational Stroke Research that found extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from human neural stem cells improved tissue and functional recovery in murine thromboembolic stroke models.
The study was led by Dr. Steven Stice, a Georgia Research Alliance Eminent Scholar endowed chair, Professor and Director of the Regenerative Bioscience Center at The University of Georgia and who serves as Co-Founder, Chief Executive and Chief Scientific Officer for ArunA Biomedical. The study was conducted in collaboration with Dr. Nasrul Hoda at Augusta University. [Read more…]
