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.

Biostage, Inc. United States

Biostage is a biotechnology company developing bioengineered organ implants to treat congenital defects, cancers and other life-threatening conditions of the esophagus, bronchus and trachea.

The company’s novel Cellframe™ technology is engineered to stimulate the body’s signaling pathways and natural healing process to regenerate and restore organ function. Our Cellframe technology is based on over 20 years of scientific progress in the fields of tissue engineering, cell biology and material science. Cellframe technology combines the best attributes of a synthetic scaffold with tissue engineering and cell biology to create what may be a revolutionary method of addressing organ damage.

Biostage has been developing its new generation of organ implants as a platform capable of being used in the esophagus and main airways (trachea and bronchi). The current platform, based on our Cellframe technology, represents a complete re-engineering of our earlier organ scaffold and cell technology to better stimulate the regenerative properties of each of these organs. Biostage’s Cellframe technology platform is used to create organ specific Cellspan implants. Recent large animal data showed promising results as our Cellframe technology applied to the esophagus achieved the regeneration of esophageal tissue.
