REVOLUTIONISING REGENERATIVE MEDICINE
Stem Cell Therapy
We have developed a disruptive biotech nanotechnology which creates remote-controlled stem cells - technology which is at the cusp of beginning Phase 1 clinical trials after successful pre-clinical trials.
The technology answers the fundamental problem of selective stem cell differentiation. Stem cells in their current form are placed into a patient with the hope that they create the desired tissue purely based on their environment - which has a high failure rate. Through nanotechnology, we developed Remote-Controlled Stem Cell Technology, which allows clinicians to select the type of tissue they would like to create in situ. We are focussing first on spinal fusion.
The Problem
To date, the true potential of stem cells in regenerative medicine has been unattainable due to limited control of the type of tissue these cells transform into. This lack of control renders these therapies expensive and unscalable in the broader market.
The Solution
To achieve greater control of target cells to allow for precise differentiation depending on the specific treatment required by the patient.
Our Approach
Following a biologic-device combination product pathway, MICA technology uses magnetic nanoparticles which bind to specific sites on the patient’s cells.
Remote-Controlled Stem Cell Therapy is our opportunity to revolutionise regenerative medicine. True to this statement, it has a world of possible uses across numerous therapy areas. See below for a snapshot of what this technology means for some of them!
Spinal Fusion
MICA Cell Therapy can be used as a standalone solution to the fusion of vertebrae in situ, turning an invasive and risky surgical procedure into a superficial injection, or in conjunction with existing spinal cages to aid in their effectiveness.
Orthopaedic Device Fixation
MICA technology could be used as a fixation method of orthopaedic implants, such as hip replacement devices, in patients with low bone density.
Tendon Repair
Biological in situ repair of tendons is possible using MICA Cell Therapy - removing, or reducing, the need for surgical tendon repair or transplant.
Craniomaxillofacial Repair
Notoriously difficult, craniomaxillofacial repair can be aided using the MICA technology.
