Astrocyte Pharmaceuticals United States

Astrocyte Pharmaceuticals is a preclinical CNS drug development company advancing breakthrough therapeutic agents for treating brain injury patients. Astrocyte is developing the proprietary small molecule pharmaceutical agent AST-004 for acute administration to patients who have suffered a stroke, TBI, or concussion. This product would be administered by intravenous injection by emergency responders or a medical professional within 24 hours of injury to limit neuronal damage and cell death. Our approach at Astrocyte Pharmaceuticals differs significantly from historical neuroprotective attempts as we focus on a non-neuronal cell type, the astrocyte, which is the most common cell type in the human brain and has only recently received broader attention as an important cellular target for therapeutic research. The company recently demonstrated AST-004's significant efficacy in an NHP stroke study that mirrors the planned Phase 2 clinical study, and large safety margins in GLP toxicology studies. The company completed its Series A financing in Q4 2020.

BioChange Israel

BioChange is a biotech startup in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. Our main product is a gelatin based injectable scaffold.

BioChange has developed CellFoam™ , a unique injectable cell adhesive-scaffold that stimulates guided tissue regeneration and supports cell seeding. When CellFoam is injected as stand alone, it completely degrades within the body after about 3 months of a remodeling phase, as new functional tissue is formed, replacing the aged or impaired tissue.

Our first human product is a therapy for skin ageing (BlueStim™ product), it modulates fibroblasts' behavior to regenerate new collagen, regaining skin thickness and quality. In other words, it turns aged skin to young.

The core technology can fit various applications in healthcare such as COPD, macular degeneration, neural repair, periodontal disease, and tissue bioprinting.

Bioxytran/Pharmalectin United States

Pharmalectin is working on the end-to-end solution for COVID-19 mild to severe cases and treatment for organ damage caused by the virus. The company has developed a novel method designed to reduce the viral load and modulate the immune system using a galectin inhibitor.

Academic study on a small number of patients with the first drug candidate had positive results. The viral load was reduced to zero in all mild/moderate patient after a few days. The drug is not toxic and had no adverse effects. It can prevent spread of infection in 24 hours. It is complementary to vaccination and can prevent infection from close contact. Next step is stage III trials for a bigger group of patients.

We are looking for investors to fund our next phase.
