“Participating in VivaTech represents a superb alternative for us to know how the marketplace for superior remedy merchandise works in Europe, where there are already some registered merchandise,” Adriana Manfiolli, a researcher and accomplice within the firm, informed Agência FAPESP.
Named Mensencure, the biodressing is made with hydrogel and comprises mesenchymal cells, which secrete quite a few bioactive molecules with completely different capabilities within the therapeutic course of, resembling cytokines and progress elements chargeable for immunomodulation, angiogenesis (the creation of recent blood vessels) and enhancing the standard of scar tissue.
The 3D biodressing is taken into account sensible as a result of it comprises residing cells that may understand the indicators emitted by pores and skin accidents and reply by releasing cytokines and progress elements in accordance with the tissue’s wants. Unlike most standard merchandise, which solely goal to cowl the lesion or deal with a selected part of therapeutic, Mensencure acts within the completely different phases of pores and skin therapeutic.

“We’re within the midst of this important interval, engaged on the manufacturing of each the cells and the dressing in accordance with Good Manufacturing Practices [GMP] with the intention to get hold of authorization from ANVISA to hold out a medical study,” says Oliveira.
The researchers’ objective is to supply the biodressing and different merchandise based mostly on the know-how within the firm’s laboratory. “Unlike most biotechs, we wish to go to market,” she says.
