FibroBiologics Announces Preliminary Proof of Concept for Novel Artificial Thymus Organoid Technology
25 Juin 2024 - 3:31PM
FibroBiologics, Inc., (Nasdaq: FBLG) ("FibroBiologics"), a
clinical-stage biotechnology company with 150+ patents issued and
pending with a focus on the development of therapeutics and
potential cures for chronic diseases using fibroblasts and
fibroblast-derived materials, announced the development of a novel
artificial thymus organoid that can restore immune function in a
severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) mouse model.
The organoid, composed of fibroblasts and thymus
derived cells, is capable of generating mature and diverse T cells,
including CD4, CD8, and regulatory T cells, in vitro and in vivo.
FibroBiologics intends to develop this technology as a subcutaneous
injection of an allogeneic fibroblast-based organoid to restore
thymus function lost due to age-related natural thymus involution,
and for a rapid restoration of the immune system in patients who
have gone through chemotherapy.
"This early research demonstrates the
versatility and potential of fibroblasts and fibroblast-derived
materials for regenerative medicine and immunotherapy," said Hamid
Khoja, Ph.D., Chief Scientific Officer. "Immune system
dysregulation is the major cause of chronic inflammation, chronic
diseases, and age-related immune senescence attributed to higher
rates of cancer, autoimmune disorder, infection rate, and reduced
response to vaccination in the elderly. We look forward to
advancing this technology through further research efforts and to
offer a new potential treatment for restoring thymus function and
enabling a longer and healthier life."
"We are very encouraged with the results of our
experimental studies in improving human longevity that demonstrate
the feasibility of restoring thymus functionality with our
artificial thymus organoid technology," said Pete O’Heeron, Founder
and Chief Executive Officer. "We believe that this technology has
the potential to revolutionize the field of immunotherapy and
provide a safe and effective alternative to stem cell
transplantation."
