FibroBiologics Announces Scientific Advancement in Confirmation Results of Brain Tissue Repair

April 02, 2025 08:30 ET | Source: Fibrobiologics, Inc. HOUSTON, April 02, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FibroBiologics, Inc. (Nasdaq: FBLG) ("FibroBiologics”), a clinical-stage biotechnology company with 240+ patents issued and pending for the development of therapeutics and potential cures for chronic diseases using fibroblasts and fibroblast-derived materials, today announced a significant advancement in neurodegenerative disease research. Leveraging the well-established Cuprizone animal model, FibroBiologics has demonstrated that intravenous fibroblasts can facilitate remyelination. FibroBiologics’ Cuprizone animal model study demonstrated a statistically significant increase in myelin expression within seven weeks after both single and multiple dose fibroblast treatments. This confirms FibroBiologics’ previous report of remyelination with the Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis (EAE) animal model. Myelin sheath, the insulating layer around nerve fibers, is critical for proper nerve function and is often damaged in neurodegenerative diseases like multiple sclerosis. In the brain, the myelin sheath plays a critical role in speeding up communications between neurons. This is especially important in the brain, where rapid and precise signaling is needed for functions like thinking, memory, movement, and coordination. “This confirmation by our talented team of researchers demonstrates that fibroblasts can support the regeneration of myelin sheath, marking a potentially significant step in the utilization of a cell-based therapeutic in regenerative medicine,” said Hamid Khoja, Ph.D., Chief Scientific Officer of FibroBiologics. “Our team’s findings advance our understanding of fibroblasts’ regenerative capabilities,” said Pete O'Heeron, Founder & Chief Executive Officer of FibroBiologics. “Confirming remyelination in a second validated animal model is an important step in our research and development efforts, offering fresh hope for patients with demyelinating diseases, including multiple sclerosis. These findings advance our mission to develop transformative fibroblast-based therapies that address the root causes of chronic disease, not just their symptoms, and reflect our dedication to pushing the frontiers of regenerative medicine."
